thinking about the Justice League being considered celebrities, and as such, they do social interviews, not only post-mission ones. I’m talking about collaborations with brands, selective merch, and interviews with Cat Grant. Think along the lines of movie press tours.

Specifically, where the founding members do one interview together a year (that’s also the only interview Batman does) where people get to see the more human and casual side of the heroes, part of an initiative the other members wanted to partake in, that way they felt connected with the world and the people they’re trying to save.

You’re a founding member along with Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Martian Manhunter. (I love you, early 2000s animated Justice League)

You’re typically considered a light-hearted hero and get along effortlessly with everyone. It’s better since you’re an easy bridge for Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl to get along, forming a trio that inspires many people to see strong women in power as goals for youth. Not to mention, you all are considered fashion gurus and iconic for helping create the league with such strong figures. You’re a mythic human, with a large fan base since you’re based in Ivy Town, Connecticut. This also creates people to have YouTube fan theories of who you are in connection to and a potential past to the Salem witch trials.

Since it’s the only interview a year where they can see how the team interacts as a whole, everyone tunes in, and it consistently scores the award for “most viewed video of the year”, since everyone literally watches and analyzes everything. I’m talking “10 things you missed in 2025 JLA interview”, “what we learned from the 2025 JLA interview”, “top 5 moments from the JLA interview”, etc.

Why the public loves these even more is because everyone is sure that there are romantic pasts between everyone in the league, and they love to decipher and figure out what’s happening. Everyone knew something was going on between Green Lantern and Hawkgirl. It’s not like they tried to hide their problems from anyone when they’re passionately arguing like lovers in front of literally anyone and everyone, or battle.

What has everyone intrigued is the dynamic between you and Batman. The way that both of you are almost always sitting next to each other. The glances and smirks (TikTok videos about “how many times Batman showed emotion because of hero name”), the slight touches; he places his hand on your lower back, your hand on his thigh as you laugh at something Flash said.

In the photo spread (again, the best-selling magazine), the two of you are always photographed together, or for separate shots, the other is right behind the camera, as seen in the “behind the scenes: JLA 2025” video, which was released a week after the first one.

It all must mean something, and it stirs everyone into a frenzy trying to figure out if there is something there, something neither has confirmed nor denied.

At least, almost everyone, as some other people see the nearly effortless connection you share with Superman. You and Batman are often compared and paired together due to the typical association of “darkness” with magic and Gotham, as well as the darker nature of your work.

But you and Superman share the more personable traits, like being well-loved by the public and having some of the best-selling merchandise.

Your connection is based on similar jokes, bright smiles, and caring fans. It’s a more tender and soft love, filled with warm smiles and comfort with one another as you both mimic each other’s moves (think Zendaya and Tom Holland)

You guys are another popular spread when photographed together, as you both have been working together for a while and have a good record.

You both do charities together, as you both enjoy giving back to your communities as much as possible.

In fact, you both are co-founders of a school for alien and mystic youths trying to find their power in a safe space. Both of you understood what it was like being born different and constantly having to adjust to the level of others, not to seem threatening. There is a deeper level of connection in that level of intimate understanding, a respect and safe space for one another, and it clearly showed with the way you both spoke and acted around each other.

Your gentle touches as you fix his cape when he sits down. The way he always offers you a hand as you stand up or get out of a car. Always offering you water and a snack. The way you help heal his suit after a battle, because seeing Superman in half a suit — while a beautiful sight — is startling for kids to see their idol in.

Cat Grant, knowing that the public loves guessing the dynamic between you and two of the leading men of the league, decided to get a bit cheeky during the photoshoot.

“Let’s try different formations this year, yeah?” She is then quickly organizing the groups, making sure to isolate you, Batman, and Superman. While it’s an unusual formation, nobody protests, and a quiet conversation starts between the trio, waiting for their turn for photographs. This makes the people practically rabid, with the added dynamic of how Batman and Superman interact, because there’s a third fraction of the population that loves the contrast of the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel.

And when is it time for your photoshoot? Oh man, I’m talking classic 2010s love triangle photoshoots (Vampire Diaries, Twilight). You’re in the middle of these two hulking men, both encroaching on your space. There’s also the weirdly comfortable domestic poses, of you and Superman leaning against each other on the sofa, with Batman on the floor in front of both of you, almost like he’s protecting both of you.

but i can’t decide who to pair, superman or batman. so… 😏 both?

summary: You were there from the beginning - a Justice League founder, a guardian to Bruce’s and Clark’s children, and the glue holding two chaotic families together. Love grew slowly, quietly, in lingering touches and missed chances, until it was buried beneath years of duty and heartbreak. Now, when the kids are grown and your heart dares to look forward again, Bruce and Clark must face the truth they’ve both been avoiding: they’ve loved you all along. Will you let them, or has it been too long to let two of the world’s finest heroes into your heart?
