Shipper Spotlight is a monthly editorial by your very own Shipper-expert, Stella.  Each month I will take a look at the developing and new relationships (romantic, familial, platonic, and team-oriented) that appear in the Bat-books.  How are these relationships progressing?  Which are portrayed well?  Which should never exist?  What is my pick for SHIPPER OF THE MONTH?  Stay tuned each month for this serious look into the world of fictional relationships.   The Shippers as they stand now after issue #5 (ie. the month of January):
