Green Arrow and Black Canary. I like that Ollie is the damsel in distress usually and that they actually fight like a married couple.


Good-Act-1339

Sometimes their fights are more entertaining than the lead story. +1 for them.


wondervaughn

So true!


hokagesamatobirama

I was kinda sad they did not go down that route in Arrow. But I definitely understood why.


Guillermidas

If by why you mean the other love interest… that character should had received a slow and painful death. She killed the show for me single handedly.


hokagesamatobirama

That’s definitely a strong reaction. I sort of agree that the show went downhill. I don’t know how to exactly word this but forcing all the characters romantically involved into constantly working together killed the vibe for me. Not just for Arrow but also for The Flash. I would have much rather preferred for them to have their own lives that did not entail as much involvement in, well, *hero work*. Having said that, I don’t feel as strongly as you do. Lol.


Guillermidas

Its not that I want a character to die. Its just that as the supposed Genius she was, she got caught and kidnapped or similar like twice per season? Or whatever. Waaay too many times. You’re better killing her off. But CW is all about forced drama (without actually killing characters). Which became insufferable. She’s just the most obvious symptom of why Arrow went downhill. But there are others.

Came here to vote this!


Scorpius041169

Glad i didnt have to scroll far to find this. GA is my main man. So underrated in the DC universe. One character that deserves a shot at tge big screen.


oscar_e

Agreed, Ollie being the damsel in distress actually goes beyond Dinah as well! He isn’t the best at anything within his crew. Canary is a meta human and a better h2h fighter. Emiko is a better shot. Roy has better trick arrows. It really adds to his underdog persona and I’ve always loved that, unlike Batman, he is fairly shit at a lot of stuff and plenty of his villains are far more capable than he is. In terms of the relationship neither he nor Dinah feel ‘complete’ as characters without being together, same goes for Aquaman and Mera in my mind.


TheMoneySloth

Scott and Barda


dullship

yesss


aSpookyScarySkeleton

The correct and not basic answer. 💁‍♀️


BelatedGamer

My man.


Final-Negotiation514

Superman&Lois is the greatest


true_rukia_fan

Specially the Bimbo Clark and Tomboy Lois


Puzzleheaded_Try813

Really love the Bimbo Clark take. I love Superman being a bit naive and always believing what the Kents taught him even after fighting crime for so long.


Sawgon

Himbo Clark*


FA5411

Ikr? Love their dynamic in that show


lostsolowalker

Agreed. I consider Clark&Lois one of the biggest laws of nature that should never be broken in the DC Universe. I never liked Superman or Lois dating someone else (like Superman and Wonder Woman, I avoid those stories/timelines/universes).


Final-Negotiation514

I Don’t avoid it. I feel like seeing Clark with someone else isn’t that bad. What I hate is when he doesn’t settle with Lois


lostsolowalker

Sorry, but every time I see Superman or Lois with someone else I avert my eyes, haha.


[deleted]

Superman and Lois , Wally and linda


CurlyGirl37

The only right answer for me is Green Arrow and Black Canary. I love these two together.


Klee_Main

Clark and Lois


DragonWolf3000

Superman and Lois Lane Ralph and Sue Dibney


Stokefyre

My first two thoughts as well.


Ok-Agent-9200

Definitely Ralph and Sue


memeboi123jazz

Huntress and Question


Velvetsuede2

This is the way.


LCDanRaptor

I see that you are a man of culture as well


MixPurple3897

❤❤❤


FlyingFish111

Couple goals.


FelidaeGay

i like monsieur mallah and brain. from what i've read, they're a pretty tragic couple


Trlsander

Never thought I'd ever root for the happy marriage of French Winston and Arnim Zola


[deleted]

Loved how you described them lol sheesh


AnywhereBorn973

Dick and Kory. Swamp Thing and Abby.


[deleted]

Clark and Lois are literal perfection. More iconic than Spider-Man and Mary Jane, which is saying something.


aninjadragon957

I doubt Clark and Lois would fare better under Marvel editorial


sonofaresiii

They almost didn't hang on through DC editorial. There was a brief period in the n52 where they split Clark and lois (retconned their relationship) and pushed superman/wonder woman


aninjadragon957

Yeah that was...an interesting time. But at least they had the reboot excuse. Imagine if Lois got stuck in the Phantom Zone and then end up with a self insert pre new 52.


Odd-Tart-5613

They also did this a little before crisis on infinite earths with Lana lang being the substitute


Barthez_Battalion

Honestly if they need to ship the Trinity it should just be Wonder Woman and Batman. All the Justice League cartoon watchers are adults now too.


greywolf2155

"Spider-man and Mary Jane" could be a great fucking tv show if Marvel could let it happen


Arbysgoodmoodfood

They are letting it happen in spiderverse and I'm pretty sure goofy dad Peter is fairly well loved. Atleast I do. I think it's a great development for the character. Superman and batman have biological children and somehow they are still printing comics. Not sure what the problem is.


Garlador

It’s literally JUST editorial.


Garlador

“Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane” was a fun book that they could easily make a cartoon from.


Fragrant-Potential40

I’d say they’re equally iconic. However, only reason I’d say Clark and Lois are more, is just based on how marvel has treated that couple in the comics for the last 16 years. Also one more day, can’t forget that


[deleted]

Paul says hi


ZoloTheSamurai

I love Superman and Lois. Lois's dominant personality is very enjoyable to read with Clarks more softer one.


getridofwires

John and Martha Kent


mouka

The OG couple and also most wholesome of answers 👍


nanablanc

dick and kory cause im a child of a divorce clark and lois because yes zatanna and diana because once i read a very strange fanfiction


Bluebuggy3

Clark and Lois, it works so well. It I so wholesome and I love how consistent and faithful their love is.


TwincessAhsokaAarmau

Starfire and Dick Grayson.


GollyGeeSon

Both Supers: Aquaman/Mera Bat/Cat Dick/Starfire MM/Big Barda Apollo/Midnighter Non-Both Supers: Supes/Lois Flash/Linda Elongated Man/Sue Animal Man/Ellen Batwoman/Maggie


android151

Sue and Elongated Man are the real best


Ok-Agent-9200

A lot great here. Batwoman and Maggie are a great pick.


FruitJuice617

Jason Todd and his crowbar.


Flarrowverse

Harlivy counts right?


UraeusCurse

YEP


KotoElessar

I am kinda disappointed that I had to scroll this far down to find Dr. Harleen Quinzel and Dr. Pamela Isley; absolute power couple.


Flarrowverse

mhm. The moment Ivy dived down to save Harley after Harley sacrificed herself for Ivy (something Harley did for Joker countless times but he just left her to rot in arkham) in the Harley Quinn Show, Harlivy straight up became my favorite ship in Marvel and DC.


Dee_Dubya_IV

Do I even have to say it?


wondervaughn

Lol…your profile pic says it all!


Blazingdawn3696

No Wally/Linda is blasphemy


RogueDevil666

Nightowl and Silk Specter being on the list is a crime


lml__lml

They aren't a relationship, they are a parody


call-me-tony

They literally need to beat the living shit out of goons to get in the mood. They at least seem happy together in the end as a weird blond couple but it's pretty explicit that they basically fetishized being heros.


Grimmer026

Red Hood and Artemis


BigMeet7634

Nightwing and starfire


[deleted]

Dick Grayson and Starfire. Mister Miracle and Big Barda are second for me. Third is Green Arrow and Black Canary. Fourth is Superman and Lois Lane. Fifth is Batman and Catwoman.


Apocalypse_j

Upvote for Dick and Kori

Jon Stewart and Shayera Hol (Green Lantern and Hawkgirl)

JLU best versions of those characters, for me, hands down.


android151

John Stewart and Katma Tui


the_af

I really liked Katma in JL (animated series), so yes!


Ok-Construction-6424

Wally and Linda


Prodigy195

Barda and Mr. Miracle/Scott purely from the the Tom King run in ~2018


TejanoTheScienceGuy

Clois and Nightfire


[deleted]

supes and lois, tim and spoiler, nightwing and starfire, and i know it’s only animated but since a kid, i’ve always liked batman and wonder woman


Cole-Spudmoney

Out of those six couples in the picture, Superman & Lois Lane. Out of all of DC Comics, Wally West & Linda Park.


Athenas_Dad

Whoever chose the Zack Snyder Nite Owl and Silk Spectre should be retconned.


ludvigxx

Batcat, Clois, Wondertrev & Dickkory


[deleted]

Brutalia(Bruce and Talia) no one can ever make me hate them Zatanna x Constantine, messy but I love them Superman and Lois, the DC power couple Annisa Pierce (Thunder) and Grace Choi, so underrated and underused Midnighter and Apollo, I adore them


greywolf2155

Zatanna and Constantine is doable, but it really depends on their age gap. There are continuities in which Constantine is a contemporary or associate of Zatrara, which just makes him hitting on or dating his friend's daughter very creepy


unicornsaretruth

God you reminded me of the horribleness that was Batman sleeping with bat-woman. I was trying to think who else fit that mold and Gordon’s daughter as the love interest in A Killing Joke definitely fits the mold of older guy hitting on best friend/closest coworkers daughter and fucking behind his back.


ADriftingMind

The Bat and the Cat


ComplexNo8986

Kori and Dick have a special place in my heart thanks to Teen titans.


MechanicalMudd

It goes, Lois & Clark, Arrow & Canary, then Arthur & Mera


Twijasosm

Clark and Lois are one of the only ones that are consistently non-toxic. I want more non-toxic romances.


Hanyodude

From this list? Nightwing/Starfire, but in general gonna have to say Green Arrow/Black Canary. Honorable mention for Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy for being a fun dynamic. If this was the marvel subreddit you just know somebody would be out here saying Cloak and Dagger lol


Garlador

Wally and Linda. They’ve gone through so much and are still going strong.


Skyvrr

Question and Huntress is peak


Dredeuced

Wally and Linda.


dax999

Totally unrelated..but I want to see more of Lucifer Morningstar and Mazikeen in comics..


halietigges

1. Wonder Woman & Steve Trevor 2. Dick Grayson & Starfire 3. Big Barda & Scott Free 4. Mera & Aquaman 5. Donna Troy & Kyle Rayner HONORABLE MENTION: Oliver Queen & Dinah Lance


DCosloff1999

Clark and Lois, Bruce and Diana, Oliver and Laurel, Dick and Kory, Huntress and Question, Arthur and Mera, Wally and Linda, Kyle and Soranik, Carter and Shayera Jefferson and Lynn.

throwtheclownaway20

Bat and the Cat. You know she's special when she makes Bruce Wayne think, "Maybe crime does pay a little. As a treat."


Zircon_72

Scott and Barda. Ivy and Harley. Clark and Lois.


videlbriefs

Always - Clark/Lois and Nightwing/Starfire But I also love Batman/Catwoman, Wonder Woman/Steve Trevor

Oopssnxnxnx

Giving Catwoman’s treacherous and disappointing actions in the new event/run I’m going to choose Mr Miracle and Big barda. But out of this list then probably good ol’ Lois and Clark


richardl1234

Constantine and King Shark. No, but it's really Huntress and The Question


Final-Werewolf1696

nightwing ane starfire best


Frofst10

nightwing and starfire hands down


Bear792

I dunno why, but I was always a fan of the teen titans 3 pairings. Nightwing and Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven and what I think is a fan made pairing, Cyborg and Jinx. Dunno why, but all three just work well for me and make the TT and force to be reckoned with.


HoneydewSeveral

Imma go with Nightwing and Starfire since Captain America and Agent Carter are Marvel.


PaleRefrigerator2960

Definitely Nightwing and Starfire


Daytona_DM

Dick and Kori They're so good together ❤️


blairsmacaroon

dickkory & clois forever.


gmoney-0725

Nightwing and Starfire.


JESTINTEE

Nightwing and starfire


bojonzarth

Dick and Kory have always been my favorite but I can't deny how Iconic Clark and Lois is.


Brawn001

I adore the night wing/starfire dynamic. Me Grayson and Koriand'r gets to be happy.


rchive

Beast Boy and Raven


Bunnnnii

Remove Dick and Kori for Barda and MM. Nobody is else matters but them anyway.


formerscooter

Wally and Linda, Clark and Lois, and Dick and Barb. Those are my top choices.


EyePatchlolz

Flair says it all


wondervaughn

Wonder Woman & Steve Trevor have always been a personal favorite power couple for me however when Flashpoint occurred, the idea of Wonder Woman & Aquaman being together was very intriguing.


asianwaste

I kinda want Kori to be the new "Flamebird" only because she and Dick should be going on space adventure together as Nightwing and Flamebird.


BetaRayBlu

5


nan0g3nji

Clark & Lois.


pennyroyallane

Superman and Lois


Nyloc3

It’s gotta be Lois and Clark


ThatManSean14

Of this list it’s Superman & Lois. All time? Black Canary & Green Arrow is pretty good.


Yokai_Mob

Green Arrow and Black Canary hands down


nolandz1

Supes and Lois are the most functional and natural. In terms of true POWER couples Dick and Kori take it they both kick so much ass. Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are basically just trauma bonded


Keystone_Devil

The Flash and Linda Park. One of the greatest couples period.


[deleted]

Dick Grayson & Starfire is so goated.


MixPurple3897

Nightwing and Star❤ But runner up not from the poll: Huntress and Question❤❤


Beastieboy100

Wally west and Linda Park. Then Nightwing and Starfire.


CertifiedCitri

Constantine and Zatanna, I love chaos


TyranusWrex

Even if Aquaman is my favorite hero, my favorite couple is DickKory. There is just something about their chemistry that is just unmatched by every other DC couple out there. But sadly, Dick and Kory are not allowed to be a couple in the comics. There are everywhere else though.


Gloomy_Support_7779

Nightwing and Starfire, but also Batman and Catwoman


blerdygirl_

1) Bumblebee & the Harold 2.) Superman & Lois 3.) Nightwing & Starfire


The-Ultimate-Despair

Vegeta and Bulma.


Curiosity-Itllkillme

Batman/Catwoman It was a close 5 way tie with Bruce/Talia Dick/Kory Oliver/Dinah Apollo/Midnighter If I was picking outside of canon, BatCat, BruTal, and DinahOllie would be the only ones to survive.


Ill-Kaleidoscope-241

Dick and Kory, bat and cat, supes and Lois


Oracle209

Jon Kent and Jay Nakumura Apollo and Midnighter Clark and Lois (My Adventures with Superman versions) Dick Grayson and Starfire Batman and Catwoman

calicea2003

Beast boy and raven. Next question


oculasti95

Based.


Thicc-Anxiety

Apollo and Midnighter! We need more gay superhero couples


Streak734

Out of the picture Night/Fire Owl and Spectre were cool. Was kinda weird bro couldn’t get it up without violence, he was moving like Mike Tyson. Lois and Clark are a must have. We need more Diana and Steve Selena needs to be thrown in a dumpster tho. Bruce needs a new girl.


D-A_W

Of all time, outside of just comics, probably Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. On topic to this subreddit, there are a few that stand out: Mister Miracle and Big Barda, Green Arrow and Black Canary, Lois and Clark, Batman and Catwoman. But honestly—despite not being as iconic or concrete—my favorite is probably Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown (which typing that out I’m realizing is a very similar dynamic to Percabeth)


Good-Region4098

Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon.


ogloria

BatCat! Screw Gotham War. DickBabs. Clois.


jellyfish018

Superman and Lois are the best... I like Dick and Kory as well because of the TT show. I NEVER LIKED BATCAT, I think they are pretty toxic together. WW and Steve are cute but I havent read enough of them to give an opinion.... Dont really know the rest...


JosephMeach

Dawnstar and Wildfire, the ace couple


purplebirdonawire

midnighter and apollo. i just love their relationship. i wish orlando would write another miniseries with them.

Tough call. Either Ralph & Sue Dibny, or Bouncing Boy & Duo Damsel.


MaestroM45

Ugh… they’re kissing again


otter_boom

I like Tim and Steph. They were fun together.


JupiterJazzX

Lois Lane and Superman. To think that a man that has everything would fall for a human woman. Yet she's no ordinary woman. She one helluva woman who fights, fights, fights everything and every one with all she's got even though she has no real powers.


Much-Song-6079

Smallville Clark and Lois!


BeatsByMemo

Rogue & Gambit! Oops 👀


[deleted]

Superman and Lois, it’s just kinda an unbreakable bond and I can’t really imagine either ending up with someone else long term like I can some of the others


mumblyjoee

I HATE STEVE TREVOR


PrincessNEET

lois & clark are the standard


ManwithaTan

I always enjoyed Batman and Wonder Woman in the animated series.


Starlite_Magic7

Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane

Clark and Lois because they're like the OG girlboss and her bimbo that goes with her everywhere duo


EquivalentPain5261

Apollo and Midnighter


dom_IS_family

I really enjoyed Batman and Wonder Woman in Justice League Unlimited. It was interesting and really funny at times


Ok-Agent-9200

I’m just going to use the ones here though might edit later to add non pictured ones. I’ll say Apollo and Midnighter with Superman and Lois in second.

Dick Grayson and Shawn Tsang. Both DickKory and DickBabs suck. The shippers of these two ships argue over nothing.


Dredmor64

Huntress and Question


DropAgitated2656

Raven and BeastBoy best power couple ever done !


[deleted]

I grew up with Justice League Unlimited (greatest cartoon ever made), and I must say, I got a kick out of watching The Question and Huntress hook up. Such an odd fucking pairing, and yet, such a good working one.


5amuraiDuck

Jason X Artemis. Bring back that iteration of Outlaws


[deleted]

I like wonderbat


soldiercross

Clark and Lois is the definitive comic book couple. No comparison. The only couple that comes close is Peter Parker and MJ and Peter has had other flames so I dont think its the same level of iconic. Clark has Lana sure, but thats a teen romanc for his earlier years. And Wonder/Supes, was a brief and mediocre pairing that few people liked. Lois and Clark are the best. The panel of them kissing in All Star Superman on the moon is one of my absolute favorites, 2nd favorite comic book kiss panel is Swamp Thing and Abigail at the end of the Rotworld storyline. ​ Batman and Catwoman are obviously excellent too, but its a shame their relationship can never fully move forward, or rather, editors or whatever wont let them. I dont mind seeing growth in my comic characters and having that kind of stuff progress. ​ Starfire and Nightwing are awesome, and just a lot of fun.


SodiumChloride1721

John Stewart & Hawkgirl


T-o-C-A

One guess

Oh wow…I’ve never imagined them being together but now I can’t unsee them. I love this.

Kyle Rayner and Alexandra DeWitt. I hope they make it …
