15 Weirdest Romantic Superhero Relationships
3. Batgirl & Son of the Penguin
Yeah, did you know the Penguin had a kid? This entry wouldn't be on this list if we actually knew about the Penguin and his lover's relationship because, look, we're not saying the Penguin doesn't deserve love, but since a recent issue of Batman implied he has sex with bird-women, we'd just love to know more.
Anyway, the Penguin has a kid, and he is surprisingly hot. So hot that Batgirl decides she needs some of that... is a Penguin white meat or seafood? The fact that he was also super rich, and super smart, and super cool - all of that probably didn't help. But the two slowly began a relationship which was spoiled by the fact that - uh-oh - Penguin's kid is a baddie.
Yeah, turns out he's an evil genius who uses a tech suit and calls himself Blacksun. So despite Batgirl's alter ego having a fun time dating Ethan Cobblepot, Batgirl needed to take the Penguin's weird nerd son down to Chicago. Which, honestly, is for the best since this relationship made less sense than almost any of Batgirl's other relationships. Almost.
