BatHawk is the het ship between Bruce Wayne and Shayera Hol from the DC Animated Universe fandom.
Canon[]
Bruce apparently had some knowledge of Hawkgirl before they officially met as he recognized her as one of the heroes who had come to assist him and Superman in rescuing J'onn J'onzz.
As they are both founding members of the Justice League, Bruce and Shayera spend a significant amount of time around each other throughout both Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. They have a surprisingly amicable working relationship almost to the point of a genuine friendship.
In "Injustice For All, Part 2", Bruce goes into a burning building to rescue a little girl. However, he ends up trapped after the stairs collapse and is eventually saved by Shayera. Once they are all safely on the ground, Shayera jokes that she's used to being thanked by people whenever she saves them and Bruce replies that he's not used to being the one that needs to be saved.
At one point, while playing a game of chess with Aquaman and Dr. Fate, it is mentioned that Shayera often used to play chess with Bruce. She is the only member of the original Justice League members who could repeatedly beat him at the game.
After Shayera begins dating Carter Hall, Bruce is immediately suspicious of his intentions towards her and does a full background check on him. This reveals that Carter Hall is completely obsessed with her, causing Bruce to try and warn her away from him. When she refuses, he follows them all the way to Egypt to make sure that Carter Hall doesn't try anything. He ends up helping them defeat the Shadow-Thief.
After rejecting Hall, Shayera then confronts Batman, revealing that she had known all along that he'd planted a tracking device and bug on her mace. Bruce hastily explains that it was Hall he had been keeping an eye on and not Shayera.
Fanon[]
This section is in need of major improvement. Please help improve this article by editing it.
In the grand scope of the DCAU fandom, BatHawk is a relatively small ship, not as well-known or popular as WonderBat, BatQuinn, etc. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it nonetheless has a strong and loyal group of fans. Shippers of BatHawk believe that Bruce's cool, calm, and collected personality perfectly complements Shayera's tough, feisty, stubborn, and tomboyish personality.
There are currently over 20 works for this ship on AO3. It is Shayera's fifth most popular ship. However, it doesn't even crack Bruce's top twenty.
