"Bruce being violently protective of Selina" she doesn't need all that. she's fine at protecting herself nine times out of ten and, generally, fiercely independent (which has been one of the major obstacles between them). she also probably doesn't super love the fact that he can be violent & extremely reactive (in many stories saving her female friends or being fiercely protective of them because of the violence, which is also often of a sexual nature, that they face). just a hunch... I don't think she'd be like all that into it even though the superhero stuff obviously is sexy/cool at times right. she usually is less playing "oh woe is me damsel in distress" and more so playing "I'm being bad and you should chase me about it". let's be real. the dynamic is wrong if youre looking at the first one

#not that like. fiction cant be toxic and unhealthy right. and honestly they are. but to do it like this is So Boring and Sucks #just imo. peak batcat is returns. shes ANGRY that she could be saved by him. RESENTFUL of his privilege & wealth.#even though she knows hes a good man and finds his career as the dark knight super exciting. its not about attraction.#its about how unfair it all is. she has to be bad not bc she even did anything wrong. but bc a man had more power than her #bc shed spent her whole life trying to please men romantically.....and only now does she find love #she loves him. but she also believes its too late for her. and she doesnt want to be saved.#she did want to be saved a long time ago. before she died. before her life was revealed as meaningless to the ppl around her.#but she cant be that girl anymore. theres something dark and wrong festering inside her because of what shes been through.#and he cant make that go away.#and maybe she doesnt want it to go away. its what finally gave her the strength to stand on her own anyway.#and he doesnt understand this. he never could. hes always been a valuable man treated as a whole person by everyone around him.#this is why they have a really interesting push and pull
