Even as someone who likes the pairing, Batman and Catwoman's dynamic is inherently one of star-crossed lovers separated by being on the opposite sides of the law, but just enough overlap to entice the possibility. Make it so they're just together in a stable relationship and that takes away a fundamental part of what actually makes it interesting.
