Why is there so little interaction between these two characters?

Why is there so little interaction between these two characters?

They barely interact at all, and when they do they are often shown to have a prickly relationship at best. Batman has very close links to the Bat-family, always referencing each other and frequently turning up as characters in each others books as a matter of course.

Superman and Supergirl have a one issue cross over every 3-4 years and usually end up fighting.

Because they are redundant and overpowered, and teaming them up requires you to have two Evil Superman analogues for them to fight?

She's some teenaged girl from space, Superman didn't adopt her and raise her.

>>88812908
In most of nightwings stuff, Batman doesn't show up to fight, its more that he's shown to be in contact with and socialising, giving advice to Dick.

Nightwing still has his own battles and arcs without Batman being there, but they still feel connected to each other.

I'm not asking why they don't team up all the time, I'm just saying that they have almost no interaction at all. No advice from Clark on dealing with Earth stuff, no casual chats when feeling down, nothing at all.

>shown to have a prickly relationship at best

Because they hate each other.

Kara hates Kal for being renouncing (in her view) his Kryptonian heritage and resents him for treating her like a kid, despite being older than her by experience.

Kal cares for her but dislikes her because she's a temperamental brat who fucks up all the time. Most of her stories are about her fucking up big time. She's a constant worry and does more harm than good because she can't stop acting like a brat.

Because the Super family handles world level threats, Batmen beat up bads in the same streets.

Kal and Kara beat up global level threats on the other side of the world. That being said, I do like text Clark from the Supergirl show.

Distance isn't an issue for Kryptonians. They could be on other sides of the solar system and still be only a few mins away from each other. I'm not suggesting team ups, just I'd like to see them sitting down and chatting to each other once in a while as friends.

Because Superman editorial has had its head lodged up its own ass for twenty years now.

damn right I'm mad.

>>88812836
Supergirl has been the red headed stepchild of Superman editorial for a while. She sells well enough to keep her in existence but most of the writers will forget she exists most of the time.

Well he did raise and adopt her in Earth Two.

They interacted a bit but as it's been stated, they're more interesting when apart. There's also that Kara is usually estranged to Clark in her many incarnations. Her different origins tend to be pretty convoluted.

>one issue cross over every 3-4 years

You're confusing New 52 and an arc in the Superman/Batman team-up from the 2000s to characterize a relationship that existed five times as long as either of those two time-frames combined.

In New 52, they interacted almost yearly, albeit the first major cross-over of the SuperFamily books showed her in opposition to the clone 'unnamed' Superboy of the New 52 (whom we are likely to never ever see again except as a passing reference here and there in say 15-25 years) and with Clark, and that was just Lobdell whose a crappy writer, in any event.

Funny enough he was the best "parent" to Supergirl out of the three.

Msinly because Kara was avoiding Clark because of her kryptonite poisining giving her murderous urges to kill him and Wonder Woman was doing her own thing.

Bruce checked up on her, asked her why she wasn't seeing Clark, he trained her, called her, and was really Batman about it too. Like when he sends her a lead lined box and she doesn't know who it is from and opens it anyway only to find a paper that says that she's failed and then she gets a call from Batman who is outside of her apartment watching her and he's upset about her not being more cautious.

Didn't he pay for her apartment in expensive metropolis or some shit?

Aw, the feels are real. Any particular trade that covers this? Preferably with that moment and >>88816779 collected? Sounds like a nice read.

>"Do you want to be violated Kara? Because opening random boxes you can't see into is how you get raped. Do you realize that you are basically THE prize for a serial rapist with a chip on his shoulder? Who wants to make a name for himself? Conquer the unconquerable, and utterly defeat someone bearing the symbol the hope looks to for hope, jading and hurting Superman himself through someone he loves?"

They have good interactions in Brainiac, Up Up & Away, Superman/Batman, Supergirl V5, COIE, AC #850 and various others.

He was even once brought to tears when he discovered he had an actual blood relative still alive. Superman cares about her immensely.
