DickBabs

DickBabs is the het ship between Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon from the DC Comics fandom.

Canon
Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon have been attracted to one another since they were Robin and Batgirl, respectively. Before a confrontation with the outsider, Dick Grayson, as Robin, confessed his love for Batgirl but then turned and saw that she appeared to be sleeping. However, Barbara had heard him and began to muster up the courage to confess her feelings for him. She approached his college dormitory and knocked on his door, only to be met with Starfire, who Dick Grayson had been dating at the time.

When Barbara was handicapped by the Joker, Dick was on Starfire’s home planet, Tamarac. When he returned, he slept with her, only to hand her an invitation to his wedding to Starfire. Even though Dick’s marriage to Starfire never came to fruition, he and Barbara did not begin a relationship until a later point.

The two nearly married before the infinite crisis event. Before shipping off to fight in the crisis, Dick proposed and Barbara tearfully accepted. However, after he nearly died, Barbara helped train him to get him back to normal health. When Bruce asked Dick and Tim Drake, the Robin of the time, to journey with him around the world for a year, he refused, wanting to stay with Barbara, but she told him to go in a letter, leaving her engagement ring. He wrote her a letter in return, giving her the ring back and promising to swing back to her someday.

In the New 52, the two, now Nightwing and Batgirl, share a few intimate moments, including when Dick interrupts a kiss between her and Luke Fox and after Dick returns from working undercover at Spyral.

In the Rebirth line, the two sleep together in Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle’s honeymoon suite. Their potential relationship is interrupted when Dick is shot in the head and loses his memory. After Dick’s memories return, during the Death Metal event, the two have a shotgun wedding, officiated by Batman that is undone the following night.
