After Aquaman was attacked and the doctors were having trouble treating him, Batman managed to set up and prepare the right kind of treatment needed to save him. He knew that the Atlantion King is a fish out of water and that their medical technology weren't designed to help someone like him, that's why the Dark Knight stepped him when he did. His quick thinking and research is what saved Aquman's life.

Bruce goes up north to an isolated fishing town, asking the townsfolk about a man who appears in the wintertime. A man, Arthur, says that an iceburg blocks and ships from coming through, and Bruce says that the man doesn't come by boat. Bruce explains that he's looking for warriors to build an alliance from a potential threat, and says he'll give them 25K to talk to the man right now. Arthur, in Norweigian, says that the man he's looking for will just give it to him, making the townsfolk laugh. Bruce is confused, but sees a drawing on the wall that shows that Arthur is the man that he's looking for. He also sees the three boxes in the drawings, and tells him he'll make it 30K if Arthur tells him what they are. Arthur tells him that he should get out, and Bruce asks if he can at least point him to Antlantis. Arthur then slams Bruce against a wall, and Bruce tells him all he knows about him.

The two go outside, Bruce telling him that if the fight comes they'll need Arthur. Arthur tells him to not count on it and Bruce asks why. Arthur doesn't like people telling him what to do, preferring to be left alone, and Bruce asks if that's why he helps people out in the middle of nowhere. Arthur says he does it because no one else does, but Bruce says working with him will protect them. He says that Superman died fighting next to him, and Arthur says that's his point. Bruce again asks about the boxes and Arthur says it's ancient history. He then makes fun of Bruce being Batman, calling him out of his mind, before jumping under water and swimming away.

AquaBat is a rarepair in the DC Comics fandom. A lot of it's fans came from the DCEU films. Given that it's one of the more prominant recent pieces of media to feature the two together. Other fans originally came form Batman: The Brave and the Bold. As Arthur being depicted as wanting to be best friends, could easily be interpreted as him having a crush on Bruce. Fans of the DCEU and DCAU version of the ship will sometimes depict the two as an "Enemies to Lovers" style of ship, given that the two didn't get along at first in both universes.

On AO3, AquaBat is the fourth most written ship for Arthur. There are currently 70+ written works.
