 There has been much discussion on the similarities between Bertie Wooster and one caped crime-fighter.

I submit for your consideration: Bertie and Batman are both active in the 30′s - or at least are at some point on their respective floating timelines (Batman was first published in 1939 and arguably Wooster extends from 1916 into the 1970′s). With all the time Wooster spends in the States, they would be in about the same circles, they ought to at the very least have met at some Wayne Industries gala or the like. I can only imagine how Bertie would stumble around Batman’s Rogues Gallery - in about the same way as how he dodges terrifying aunts and unwanted engagements, of course.

 My thoughts have turned back to Superheroes lately, as they every so often do, and I may or may not ship Superman and Batman (mostly thanks to The Batman/Superman Movie: World’s Finest, which I don’t think I stole too much of the plot from).

So, I present for your consideration: Clark Kent as Batman’s reporter love interest.

They tried with Vicky Vale, but we already know Clark has staying power, it also presents tons of opportunities for secret identity shenanigans. One way it could go:

  • Clark has been sent on assignment to Gotham to report on this new “Batman” who’s been showing up.
  • Meanwhile, Superman is investigating Bruce Wayne who has recently been meeting with Superman’s nemesis, Lex Luthor - which Bruce Wayne is, of course, actually doing because Batman is suspicious of Luthor for his own reasons (because Luthor is a sketchy supervillain).
  • Maybe we get some of the classic superhero “rescues” intrepid reporter. Clark Kent goes poking around Bruce Wayne’s eerie mansion “looking for an interview” (I think Vicky Vale does this in the 1989 Batman movie).
  • Clark and Lois Lane go to a Wayne Enterprise Charity Drag Ball (to do some more investigating into this mysterious billionaire, of course), and Clark and Bruce have a “do I know you from somewhere?” moment.
    (Because no Comedy of Errors would be complete without crossdressing.)

Not sure if this fic will ever happen, but any and all suggestions/extensions are more than welcome.
