Here's a breakdown:
* Catwoman: One of Batman's most iconic relationships, often portrayed as a love/hate dynamic. They have a complicated history of attraction, betrayal, and partnership, but they never fully commit to a relationship.
* Talia al Ghul: Batman's son, Damian Wayne, is the result of his brief, passionate affair with Talia. However, the relationship was marked by manipulation and ultimately ended tragically.
* Vicki Vale: A reporter who briefly dated Batman in the comics. Their relationship was short-lived and ultimately ended because of Batman's secret identity and commitment to his mission.
* Others: There have been other fleeting romantic interests in Batman's life, including Silver St. Cloud, Julie Madison, and even Poison Ivy (though their relationship was more of a dangerous obsession).
It's important to note that Batman's commitment to justice and his dedication to his role as the Dark Knight often prevent him from forming stable, long-term romantic relationships. He sees these as distractions that could compromise his mission. This makes his relationships with Catwoman and Talia al Ghul especially interesting, as they both challenge his ideals and complicate his life.
So, while Batman has had plenty of romantic encounters, he's never settled down with a girlfriend in the traditional sense.
