10 Exact Moments That Made Batman Fans Rage Quit
3. His Relationship With Barbara Gordon
One of the rockier relationships in DC Comics is that of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, the first Robin. When he grew up, the two had something of a falling out, though they have worked together on numerous occasions. Still, there was always some tension there. And for good reason.
Barbara Gordon, otherwise known as Batgirl, had been in a longtime on-again/off-again relationship with Dick, and this was something that most people in their circle knew, up to and including Batman. If there's one thing Batman should know, it's that you never sleep with your buddy's girlfriend, so can probably see where this is going.
In Batman Beyond 2.0 #28, the fans finally understand why Nightwing never showed up in the series, and it had everything to do with Bat's betrayal. While Dick was fighting crime in Blüdhaven, Bruce and Barbara had an affair, and even worse, she became pregnant with Bruce's child.
Barbara asked him not to tell Dick, but he does anyway, and before long, they're throwing fists at one another. While that was happening, Barbara was off being Batgirl, but the stresses on her body caused her to miscarry in the middle of the street, and fans were left wondering how someone like Batman could have betrayed his friend so badly.
