No one.
Grown up things like getting married and having a job are Superman's realm. Batman lives in the world of little boy's fantasy, which means cool cars and sexy girls with no commitments.

"Do you have a wife?" "Yes. Her name is Justice." |

Yeah, this might be kind of awkward because Batgirl is like 11 years old these days... |

Yeah, this might be kind of awkward because Batgirl is like 11 years old these days.. How old Batgirl is actually is a good question... when they first did the 'Burnside' reboot, she felt really young.. like just out of college (I think College was mentioned, actually).. so 22-23. Now, though, she's the CEO of a company definitely is protrayed as older (or perhaps just more experienced) than Spoiler and Bluebird, and a contemporary of Black Canary. OTOH, she's bumming around Europe right now. Plus, she's still gone through the wheelchair thing, rehab, etc, and was Oracle long enough for everyone to know about it. I think she's WRITTEN like she's 27-30, but she probably ACTUALLY is 23-24. I have no idea how old Batman is supposed to be these days. I actually really liked the boyfriend she had that got shot (but not enough to remember his name apparently). I'd greatly dislike her with Batman, that'd be weird... not just age wise, but character wise. I don't see Batman getting married until he retires from superheroing.. if that ever happens. And maybe not even then (see Batman Beyond). |

She was always connected with Nightwing, so yeah, it would be weird.

Batman is the eternal bachelor. Can you imagine him having to answer to his wife where he is going and who he is seeing and what he is doing every night? And how terrible having her complain about his sleeping all day wasting away the daylight. And does the wife have to take responsibilities for the mansion and cave?
Some hero's are not meant to ever settle down. IronMan: playboy for life. Batman: eternal bachelor. Spiderman: poor schlub wanna wife but not in his cards. Green Arrow: would always say the wrong things, irritate his wife and she would be forced to kill him. Green Lantern: knows no fear except for fear of commitment. Daredevil: wouldn't see a potential wife if she were standing right in front of him. Captain America: lady liberty his wife. Namor: one royal order too many and he is off the throne and he doesn't understand that SHE is the true power in charge.

I'll go with Silver St. Cloud. Yes, as long as he immediately hangs up the cape and never associates with superheroes again. They will be permitted, however, to solve mysteries periodically in a Nick and Nora Charles-type mode. |

Being the Master of Contingencies, I gotta think there would be a pre-nup agreement somewhere in the mix.
Also, if the marriage becomes too much of an inconvenience or maybe to save the wife from a villain's plot (or maybe even save a little in a divorce proceeding) Bruce would have little qualms about faking his own death.

And how terrible having her complain about his sleeping all day wasting away the daylight. And does the wife have to take responsibilities for the mansion and cave? Even if he found a spouse willing to back him in his crusade with all the sacrifices that it entails, I don't view Batman (the current version, at least) as being able to invest himself emotionally in any long term relationship. As Spike-X said, his wife is justice. I don't even see him having flings or casual sex. That would mean an emotional opening, which he would doubtless see as a weakness, something that could be used against his mission by criminals. He's like Sir Galahad. A Sir Galahad dressed as a big bat. Regarding Spidey, I can totally see him as a married man; there are so many everyman stories to be told there... The problem with Pete's 20 year old marriage was that it was not treated like a normal marriage. MJ was a supermodel at first, then she was dead, then the couple lived in Avengers tower and so on. Ooooh, I echolocate what you did there!  |

I find it ironic that in the earliest stories in Detective, Bruce was engaged even after the start of his career as Batman yet so many people see him as being unable to emotionally invest in any relationship outside his crusade. The more obsessed and borderline psychotic they make Bruce, the less sympathetic I find him. Driven and dedicated, good, obsessed, irrational and unable to maintain any kind of normal social relationship, no thanks.
