WAYNE TO WED
New Gotham, USA -- Love is in the air as the city's leading playboy bachelor, Bruce Wayne, 42, announced his engagement to a shocking crowd of reporters who were expecting a boring, routine announcement on some new breakthrough from Wayne Enterprises.

Wayne has dated many women-- models, actresses, and socialites, but today on record, another can be added.

Superhero.

Bruce Wayne is engaged to Dinah Laurel Lance, 35, better known as the Justice League member Black Canary.

This is announcement is a complete shock, as the couple's relationship has been conducted entirely under the radar of the public eye.  Sources close to the couple acknowledge that both Wayne and Lance have been, at the very least, acquaintances for over a decade.  Wayne has had business deals with Lance's ex-husband, Oliver Queen, CEO of Queen Industries, also known as the Justice League member Green Arrow.  It is also well known that Queen's ex-ward, Roy Harper, a.k.a. Red Arrow, is friends with Wayne's adopted son, Richard Grayson-Wayne, dated back to the time that Grayson-Wayne was engaged to Harper's Titan teammate, Starfire.  However, it is clear that Lance and Wayne reconnected as friends at the wedding of Grayson-Wayne to Barbara Gordon where Wayne was his son's best man and Lance was the bride's chief attendant.

Provided he actually makes it through the "I do's," (as this is not the first time he has become engaged) this will be his second marriage.  His first, to Ms. Talia Head -- current CEO of LexCorp Industries -- was a quiet six month marriage that wasn't even made public until Ms. Head began her current position with Wayne's rival.  Wayne and Head's marriage did produce a child, Ian Thomas Wayne, whose very existence was hidden from Wayne for six years.  He also has multiple adopted children: Richard Grayson-Wayne, 29, Jason Todd-Wayne, 23 Cassandra Cain-Wayne, 20, and Timothy Drake-Wayne, 18.  Grayson-Wayne has adopted a son, James, 10.

This will be Ms. Lance's third marriage.  Her first husband was Craig Winslow, whom she wed and divorced when she was 18.  She assumed the identity of Black Canary, from her mother, when she was 19. Her second marriage was to a more well known personality -- ex-millionaire and former CEO of Queen Industries, Oliver Queen, 46.  Their almost decade-long relationship was a constant storm of reunions and breakups, before Queen's reported death.  Upon his return, they wed quietly the next year. However, they divorced four years prior, when reports of Queen's returning womanizing ways surfaced.  While Queen and Lance never had children together, they were not childless.  Queen has two sons, Connor Hawke, 20, and Robert Queen, 8, as well as two former  wards, Roy Harper, 30, and Mia Dearden, 19.  Hawke has wed his father's former ward, Dearden, and Harper has a child, Lian, age 8. Lance adopted a girl, Cyn, who tragically was killed by kidnappers.

All details of the wedding are being kept under wraps for security purposes.
