They do. Selina is perhaps the only person other than Alfred that Bruce is willing to be truly open and vulnerable with.

That actually says a lot about how involved Batman and Superman are with the different sides of their lives. Superman is more Clark Kent than he is Superman so itr makes sense he'd find his truest love in his Clark Kent life, meanwhile Batman is the opposite, to him the Bruce Wayne lifestyle is simply the mask for his true life as the Batman, so it makes sense that his deepest love would be found as the Batman
Everyone pooping on Clark but man, my boy is too innocent and pure for the society. Watch Injustice to see what happens when you turn a good man into bad :)
He does in Batman: Hush. Bruce visits the Daily Planet because he he has an interview with Lois. In their conversation, Bruce plays with the idea of buying the Daily Planet and then tells Lois (in front of Clark) she could work for him. Lois is amused by the offer. Clark, not so much.
For context of this: This was Earth 2 Superman and Batman in the New 52, before Bat/Cat got married and had Helena(whom eventually became the mainline Huntress at the time of New 52).
Batman literally has multiple gadgets and still tried to physically grab catwoman, i guess he really is downbad to touching and apprehending her that way
Batman has a knack for stupefying Superman time & again. Superman represents Upholding the Law, acting as a long arm of it. He represents Order & defined structures in society. Batman represents Justice, somewhat more chaotic & situational according to circumstances. He's like Karma coming back full circle. They're both working on the same side but are polar opposites in *how* they work.
I’m not even gonna lie I feel like me and Superman are kind of the same. Actually there is a situation a while ago that I was in a situation like this so I feel like me and Superman can relate
Yeah, that made me cringe. The term was never one that made sense and was always based on flawed "facts", but eventually it became the calling card for toxic incels who worship pickup artists. The whole "male pride" thing also made my eyes roll. This smacks of the kind of thing some edgelord teenager with internalized misogyny they need to reflect on would write as fanfic.

Because that kind of design in characters like Catwoman, Batman or Green Arrow is simply stupid. Even a superhero comic needs some sort of logic and an armored suit like that doesn't fit acrobatic and totally powerless characters like them.

Superman just doesn't get that 1) Batman is Batman. Bruce is the fake. 2) Batman doesn't get to have much fun, because a serious guy. 3) Batman finds chasing Catwoman across rooftops mentally and physically challenging, and therefore fun. 4) Catwoman is a thrillseeker who finds challenging Batman fun, so they're both in on the game.. 5) This is the ideal slow night in Gotham.
She's on a very short list of the criminals in Gotham that wouldn't try to kill him. Chasing her doesn't have to be "life-or-death" levels of stressful.
To quote Christopher Titus: "When I saw your mother laying there with nothing on but a duck mask, I wasn't thinking 'Im am ready for the responsibility of fatherhood'. I was thinking 'Quack, Quack...'" See, Batman here was thinking Quack Quack.

It wasnt Selina that Clark couldnt handle, he handled her just fine in fact, it was the behavior of Bruce that threw him off...
