3. The Wedding

Unlike most other entries on this list, this one just hurts.

After the catastrophe that was the Spider-Man One More Day story, you would think that comic book writers would have learnt their lesson when it comes to superhero marriages - namely, letting them happen and not retconning it later.

Yet, this proved not to be the case with the fiftieth issue of Tom King's Batman, which was supposed to see the Bat and Cat tying the knot, but instead saw the latter of the two ditching the former - something which is either very unsatisfying (if you wanted to see Bruce finally have some happiness) or a perfect representation of the nature of the pair's relationship.

Whatever your opinion, it would be nice to see DC or Marvel actually commit to one of their big characters getting married in their main continuity, with a similarly lacklustre wedding having taken place only a week after the release of this Bat-book in X-Men Gold.
