One of the most popular debates in the DC fandom is this: if Superman were all single at the same time and open to romance, who would be the perfect match? Fans have never held back when it comes to sharing their thoughts on who Wonder Woman should end up with, and now that the Trinity might all be heading toward singleness, there’s no better time to reignite the conversation.

Although Wonder Woman is rarely paired with Batman or Superman in mainstream continuity, fans have developed strong opinions about these potential romantic pairings or "ships". Many in DC’s fanbase prefer the traditional dynamic of the Trinity as besties for life and allies, while others enjoy exploring romantic possibilities, most often Diana x Bruce or Diana x Clark.

There are also popular fan interpretations, such as SuperBat and SuperWonderBat, although those are likely to remain within fanfiction. For this article, we’ll focus on the Diana x Bruce and Diana x Clark pairings, examining who would make the better match for Wonder Woman.

Are Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman Truly All Single in Mainstream Continuity? (Not Quite, But It’s Close!)

Wonder Woman & Batman Are Single, While Superman May Be on the Verge of a Divorce (See: Superman #26)

Before diving into whether Superman or Batman is the better match for Wonder Woman, it's important to examine each character's current relationship status. While many may question Superman’s inclusion in the conversation due to his marriage to Lois Lane, and others may not be up-to-date on Batman and Wonder Woman’s personal lives, recent developments provide important context. In Tom King’s ongoing Wonder Woman run, Diana suffered the loss of Steve Trevor at the hands of the villainous Sovereign. She now has a daughter with Steve, Lizzie, created by combining fragments of their souls and shaping her from clay, much like Diana’s own origin.

Similarly, Batman’s romantic life has also shifted. He’s currently considered largely single, with his most recent involvement being less of a relationship and more of a recurring hookup with the daughter of Joe Chill, the man who killed his parents. For obvious reasons, fans struggle to take this pairing seriously. Since it's been portrayed as an on-and-off dynamic with no real commitment, most fans are comfortable viewing Bruce as single. Like Diana, he appears to be emotionally and narratively available for a more serious partnership. The only potential complication comes from Superman, who remains the most traditionally committed of the three.

While Superman is still married to Lois Lane, Superman #26 (2025) by Joshua Williamson introduced a significant shift. In this issue, Lois loses her powers, marking the end of her time as Superwoman. The story also includes a conversation between Lex Luthor and Clark, in which Luthor argues that Lois's loss of identity could spell trouble for their marriage. His point is visually ed by s showing Lois looking somberly over Metropolis. This suggests that Williamson may be teasing some cracks in the Clois relationship. So, while Superman isn't technically single, this is the closest all three Trinity have been to being romantically available in years, if not decades, offering renewed hope for Trinity shippers.

Why Wonder Woman and Superman Are the Ultimate Power Couple Fans Can’t Stop Shipping

The New 52 Gave Fans a Diana x Clark Taster, Now We Need the Full Meal

Fans have long shipped Wonder Woman and Superman together, and it’s easy to see why, given how visually and thematically striking they are as a pair. Both Diana and Clark rank among Earth’s most powerful beings, united by core values such as comion, love, empathy, and hope. Beyond their strength and ideals, they also make an undeniably gorgeous couple when seen side by side. This connection was brought to the forefront during DC’s New 52 era, which ignited the ion of Diana x Clark fans by canonically making them a couple and offering a genuine glimpse into what a relationship between these two iconic heroes could truly look like.

Although Wonder Woman and Superman eventually break up in the New 52 storylines, DC still showcased the potential and chemistry between them by highlighting their shared sense of isolation. Both often feel like outsiders. Diana grew up apart from the human world on Themyscira, while Superman is the last son of a dead planet, with powers that set him apart even from his fellow heroes. Beyond the New 52, their easy banter, mutual respect, and genuine fondness, established over decades, make a strong argument that they would be a truly striking couple. Furthermore, they are each other's true equals, making their coupling feel natural.

Why Wonder Woman and Batman’s Opposites-Attract Dynamic Is Utterly Addictive to Fans

How Emotional Depth and Shared Purpose Fuel the WonderBat Connection

Fans who ship Bruce and Diana together usually do so for reasons quite different from those who prefer Diana and Clark. While Wonder Woman and Superman are often seen as reflections of each other, with their bright costumes and shining values of hope and love, WonderBat fans appreciate the compelling contrast the couple brings. Diana is the light to Bruce’s darkness, with her openness and warmth standing in sharp contrast to his guarded, secretive nature. Despite this contrast, they are united by their shared mission and overall goal of protecting the Earth, giving them just enough in common to suggest long-term potential.

ers of this ship also highlight the emotional depth and nuance often present in their one-on-one interactions, which help build the kind of meaningful connection fans look for in a romantic pairing. A recent example can be found in Tom King’s Wonder Woman #20 (2025), where Bruce its that Diana’s very existence restored his hope and faith in God: “Then I met you. And you were… kind. Like mother and father come again. Diana… after knowing you… I went home… and looked up… and I prayed.” It is moments like these, emotionally hard-hitting and deeply sincere, that fans point to when debating whether Wonder Woman is better matched with Batman or Superman.

Why a Wonder Woman Romance Is Still a Long Shot (But Not Impossible)

Diana's Healing, Bruce’s Growth, and Clark’s Marriage Are Major Roadblocks (But the Door Isn’t Fully Closed)

Full disclaimer: Wonder Woman was deeply and truly in love with Steve Trevor and is still mourning his death. So, the idea of Diana entering a relationship with Batman or Superman (if he ever becomes truly single) is highly unlikely to happen anytime soon. However, part of the fandom experience is exploring theories, hopes, and “what if…” scenarios. This article is not suggesting that Diana will be walking hand in hand with Bruce or Clark anytime soon, but it does acknowledge that the door to something more than friendship has been cracked open. Still, any romance between these characters would only be possible after a long road of healing for Wonder Woman, emotional growth from Batman, and a finalized divorce for Superman.
