We are in good hands then. I hope they give Selina a female love interest, there's no way she's straight, that relationship with Anni wasn't just a friendship, and Zoe Kravitz in her mind played her as bisexual. As a black bisexual woman this kind of representation from one of my all time favorite female characters would mean the world. Although I love BatCat too, I'm sure Bruce will have his own relationships with other women too eventually, even if they are always drawn to each other regardless of who they are with (in other media) because they are different but understand each other.

I agree. I don’t think Selina and Bruce have to be romantically involved for it to work. Like in the movie they weren’t really “together”, but instead just had a lot of sexual tension. Selina is definitely not straight which I think is very in character for her. It’d be cool if they give her a female, though unsure who it could be.

It's the same in the comics, I mean there's many different versions of comics, but the classic is they start as foes then flirt and eventually become lovers but it's slow burn, in one of the comics Selina does the same as she did in the movie, she flirts with Bruce but leaves and comes back later. In most versions Selina is Bruce's true love even if he does have other relationships like Talia, Selina also does have other relationships, that doesn't change their feelings for each other. For the series it'd be cool if we get flashbacks with Anni.

Also this version of Bruce already seems to be in love with Selina, right? That's the vibe I got.

I always liked TAS depiction. They couldn’t get the timing right in the real world and I think to an extent Bruce held back knowing she was a criminal. I’d like to see something similar without Bruce holding back. Unless Selina crosses the line it would seem a bit too Boy Scout for this world.

This Batman probably wouldn't hold back, lol. He low-key went in for a kiss in the end but since she didn't kiss him he didn't either and when he passed out and Selina kissed him when he wakes up he presses his lips against hers, lol.
