Moments
Batman: Wayne Family Adventures
 * Bruce tells Alfred that when he asked Steph if she would like to attend a gala party, she laughed in his face.

Fanon
Because Steph is limited to the comics and a small number of DC medias, that don't have her interact with Bruce on screen a lot, this friendship has been overshadowed by more well known Batfamily ships. Like BWDG and BruDami. Along with Bruce firing Steph as Robin has made the idea of this ship appear tens, before the two were able to call a true of sorts.

Even though Steph isn't one of Bruce's wards and her time as Robin didn't last very long, some people like to think of her as his first daughter. Long before he adopted Cassandra Cain and the fact that Stephen is one of the BatKids beside Cass and the others. Along with the fact that Bruce had served as a father figure to most of his young partners. That is why some people like to portray this friendship as a familyship instead.

=CassSandra=  CassSandra is the family ship between Cassandra Cain and Sandra Wu-San. Aka, CassShiva

Canon
Sandra Wu-San, better known as Lady Shiva, is Cassandra's biological mother. Shiva conserved her daughter with David Cain when she tasked to create the ultimate assassin, and then left her daughter's training and upbringing to her child's father. While having no contact with Cassandra during that time. Once she found out that Cass had revoked David's teachings and joined up with one of her enemies, Shiva was furious. Knowing that her own flesh and blood prefers the Dark Knight and his allies over her own mother. For a long time no one was truly able to defeat Shiva, until she found herself facing off Cass. Who became the first known person to defeat the Lady Shiva in a fight.

Fanon
The familyship is supported by those who feel drawn to hero-like characters who are related to one of their enemies. As these kind of relationships sometimes have the villain relative trying to turn their hero relation over to their side. Like Shiva has tried to do with Cass. Some fanfics do have Shiva being part of Cass's early years, while acting as a true mother. Rather than the person that was featured with Cass in the Outsiders season of the Young Justice series.

Shiva conceiving Cass in order to create a living weapon, had got people to compare her with Talia. Who drugged Bruce in order to provide the league with an heir, and had also raised Damian as a living weapon.

= Young Bats =  Young Bats is the family ship between Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd, Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain and Damian Wayne

Fanon
Barbara has commonly been drawn or written beside the BatKids, due to the bonds she has formed with them. Which got some people to view her as their honorary sister, like Steph has been featured to be. With her being the former Robin who wasn't adopted by Bruce and had dated Tim until they broke up. Just as Dick and Babs have been off-on a few times.

After the 2022 Gotham Knights game revealed that it would focus on Dick, Barbara, Jason and Tim, some people began to hope that the game would become successful so they can get DLCs of added in playable characters. That way they could have a chance to play or at least have the four main Knights meet up with Steph, Cass and Damian within the GK world. As well as adding in other young Batfamily members, like Duke.

Canon
Giovani is Zatara's overprotective father, who she had inherited her magical abilities from. Her father was also the person who got Zatara into show business, by using their powers and knowledge to put on mind blowing magic acts. Giovani didn't want Zatanna to join the Justice League, from knowing the dangers they face until he was convinced to let his daughter join them. When Zatara wasn't using her magic to take out evil, she was keeping the show her father started alive. After Zatara accidentally harms or caused damage with her powers, Giovani is there to help his daughter feel better, get back on her feet and to help her ensure that she won't end up making the same mistake again. Knowing that Zatara doesn't want to hurt innocent people and doesn't want to become a danger to them or to her own family. Something that Giovani knows that Zatara isn't and just wants to keep her safe and happy. Knowing that she looks up to him out of love and respect.

Young Justice
Giovani joined the Justice League after seeing the way his daughter looked up to them, and wanted to use his magical abilities for good than just entertainment alone. After learning that the League had started a team that is made out of some of the young heroes, who are the partners and wards of some of his allies, he allowed Zatara to meet them. Along with making himself clear that he doesn't want her to join them or be part of their dangerous missions. After Zatara convinced her new friends to "kidnap" her so she can join their mission, Giovani wanted to ground her for life. A decision Zatara was aware that he would make once he found out what she did behind his back.

Afterwords Zatara and Giovani had to argue weaver or not she should be allowed near the team again. On the day Giovani agreed to let her join him to the cave again, the adults and children were sent to two separate words, making both father and daughter wonder what had caused the children and parents to disappear. On their separate ends both Zatara and Giovani wondered if they were desperate enough to use magic helmet of Doctor Fate, knowing that he wouldn't let go of his new host a third time. That is why Giovani offered himself as the new Doctor Fate in order to save Zatara from the spirit within the helmet when she had it on. Batman reassures Giovani that they'll watch over his daughter, before he bids her goodbyes and puts the helmet on. Zatara felt like that she had lost her father and wanted him back when she tried to remove the helmet from him.

Years later Zatara ended up taking her father's place in the League, while he carried on serving as the vessel for Doctor Fate. Wanting to free her father was what got Zatara to start training three fellow magic users that can serve as off-on hosts for Doctor Fate, after she convinces the entity within the helmet to release Giovani. Who has missed out watching his daughter grow into the young woman she is now.

DC Super Hero Girls
When Zatara was born Giovani wasn't sure if she had inherited the ability to do real magic, so he kept his abilities a secret from her. Until Zatara's powers awaken. After his wife left them, Giovani made it his mission to keep Zatara's smile and happiness alive. With it just being the two of them. Zatara didn't mind that fact, she enjoyed their shared time on the road as they performed the common kind of magic tricks. Rather than using real magic, as Giovani didn't want to make Zatara feel back, despite the times most of those acts didn't go as planned or fell apart in the middle of an act. Even though times were hard for them, just knowing that they still have was enough to get them back on their feet. Once Zatara's powers did awaken and had trouble controlling them, while trying to hide her new sudden powers from her father, Giovani revealed his true magical abilities to her. As well as telling Zatara the reason why he hide them from her, that he is happy that she can also do real magic and how he'll help her to master it. Since then their lives got better with their new improved magic act, while Zatara was simply happy that it was still the two of them on stage.

Even though being her father's lovely assistance in their act and being Giovani's daughter had got his fame to cast a large shadow. This got Zatara to consider the idea of starting her own show, while still being apart of their shared act. Knowing that her leaving the show they stared together would hurt him.

Fanon
When it comes to father/daughter familyships within the DC fandom, Zataras is in one of the top ten lists. Specially among Zatara fans, and were happy that moments between her and Giovani were featured in DC related medias. Like the animated series of Young Justice and the 2019 cartoon reboot of DC Super Hero Girls. With them keeping Giovani alive than having him killed off.
