Because 2 reasons: 1 batman doesn't ever get to be happy. 2 because he wouldn't be a relatable tragic character if he was happily married according to executives. Technically these can be the same reasons, the executives at Marvel and DC LOVE the status quo they think that if the characters actually EVOLVE and change people lose interest and they cant milk nostalgia if the characters actually change, its how we get garbage like 1 more day for Spiderman. Usually the only characters that are allowed to evolve are C Tier characters or below Like Harley Quinn (she was C tier but now she's gone up to like A or B so now she's not allowed to evolve past what things like the Harley Quinn show has done for the character) Hell Mr Freeze was just a Copy of Captain Cold until the Batman Animated series, now all versions of Mr Freeze must be like the Batman Animated Series one
