My Justice League headcanon is that they are just a giant polycule. Some relationships are romantic, some are platonic, and some are a little in-between. But no matter what, they’re all interconnected in this beautiful, chaotic, and supportive way. Here's how I see it breaking down:
Superman x Batman (Husbands):
The power couple of the group: grumpy x sunshine vibes all the way.
They were friends for years before they finally got together. It took forever, but now they have this big, integrated family with all their kids.
Superman x Wonder Woman (Besties Who Sometimes Kiss) :
Honestly, this dynamic was actually Bruce’s suggestion that they explore semi regularly
Superman x The Flash (Wholesome Nerd Besties) :
These two bond over being massive nerds. They hit up conventions and Comic-Cons together every years.
They also hype each other’s hyperfixations—Barry always has Clark smiling, and Clark is Barry’s biggest cheerleader.
Superman & Green Lantern (Hal’s “If I Had to Pick a Guy” Bestie)
Hal would deny it, but if he had to pick a guy besides his actual husband? It’s Clark.
Superman & Aquaman (Love My Partner’s Partner Vibes)
Besties who bond over their respective worlds and their shared love for their husband and wife.
Superman & Martian Manhunter (Aliens Living on Earth Support Group)
J’onn and Clark just get each other. They understand the complexities of balancing alien with human life.
Batman x Wonder Woman (Besties Who Also Kiss)
Diana and Bruce have undeniable chemistry. Sometimes it’s platonic. Sometimes it’s not.
Batman x The Flash (Barry’s “If I Had to Pick a Guy” Bestie)
Barry doesn’t get why he’s drawn to Bruce’s broody energy, but he is.
Batman x Green Lantern (Frenemies)
These two cannot stand each other… but they can’t go more than two weeks without bickering or checking in.
Batman x Aquaman (Neutral Respect Besties)
They keep things civil, but the mutual respect is palpable.
Batman x Martian Manhunter (Frenemies with a Side of Jealousy)
Bruce respects J’onn, but part of him is a little salty that J’onn knows some parts of Clark better than he does.
Wonder Woman x The Flash (Cutie Pie Friends)
Diana thinks Barry is adorable, and Barry is just in awe of her.
Wonder Woman x Green Lantern (Hal’s “If I Had to Pick a Girl”)
Hal can’t help but crush on Diana, even if he knows it’s never gonna happen.
Wonder Woman x Aquaman (Ancient Poetry Besties)
They vibe over mythology, history, and the weight of being leaders in their people.
Wonder Woman x Martian Manhunter (Out of Place Support Group)
They bond over feeling out of place in the modern world.
The Flash x Green Lantern (Husbands Part.2)
The OG Justice League couple actually.
They got together just three weeks after the first meeting, and their relationship set the tone for the rest of the polycule.
The Flash x Aquaman (Secret Mermaid Kink?)
Barry is both intimidated and… oddly intrigued by Arthur. He’s 90% sure he has a mermaid kink.
The Flash x Martian Manhunter (Secret Alien Kink?)
Barry is also intimidated by J’onn, but let’s not lie to ourselves it’s giving alien kink energy.
Green Lantern x Aquaman (Chauffeur Besties)
If Arthur needs to be flown anywhere, Hal is his guy.
Green Lantern x Martian Manhunter (Space Monitoring Buddies)
They team up to monitor space and share an easy camaraderie while doing it. Hal talks J’onn listens.
Aquaman x Martian Manhunter (We Both Like Green)
Bonding over aesthetics and a shared affinity for the color green.
So yeah, the Justice League isn’t just a team — they’re a big, loving, occasionally chaotic polycule. Fight me on it.
Are we sure Kid Flash and Aqualad aren't best friends? They feel like best friends. Wally x Garth seem like a plausible ship, and it almost makes more sense than pairing Robin with either of them. Robin is the closest thing the Teen Titans have to Cyclops. Sure, Cyclops and Robin are capable field leaders, friends with their teammates. But they also read as way more studious and mature, often in ways that isolate them. And just to be honest: Cyclops is my favourite of the X-Men, so I'm really just looking for a character I can deeply relate to here. And either way, Kid Flash and Aqualad are practically always agreeing with each other, trading jokes and barbs back and forth with each other. They're not a popular ship, but these two together make an odd amount of sense to me.
