Batlantern is the ultimate Bruce ship.
Bruce has a lot of very good ships that I like, but I think Batlantern is the most uderrated. Hal and Bruce have such an interesting dynamic with their parallels and fundamental differences.
It's immovable object (Bruce) meets unstoppable force (Hal).
It's patalogical need for control VS patological need for freedom.
It's strategy VS instinct.
It's need for stability and familiarity even if it's unhealthy VS need to move even when something good is already there.
It's protecting vulnerabilities by hiding in darkness VS blinding people with light so they won't see your weaknesses.
It's "I'm incapable of loving the right way" VS "I'm unlovable", and simultaneously "Please love me anyway" VS "I beg you, do not try and love me".
It's raging Autism VS raging ADHD.
They are the moon and the stars, co-existing and shining in the same night sky.
They are the unbeatable human spirit, always pushing on, falling and getting up even if there is no hope.
They both think they are ruined and ruination at the same time, death touched and death bringers, guilt for everything they couldn't save sitting heavily on their shoulders.
They are rage baiter x rage baiter, just with different flavours of sarcasm.
If someone searched "emotional constipation" in the dictionary, both their names would pop up in the definition.
They complete and ground each other, but also, they will push each other off a cliff in an instant.
They are a dumpster on fire and they are absolutely perfect.
