Next Wednesday is Valentine's Day. So how is everyone's love life in the DC Universe?

Jessica Cruz, the new Green Lantern of Earth, has discovered the superhero dating app, Caper, in today's Green Lanterns #40, courtesy of Green Lantern Simon Baz, who appears to be a bit of a "player". And there are far more superheroes to choose from as the comic in question does a fine job of expanding the superheroes of DC Comics – all American, of course, remember the Superman Hypothesis being explored in Doomsday Clock right now. But there are lots of new names.

Something that hasn't really been tried since Paul Cornell and Jimmy Broxton's Knight And Squire. Which gives Jessica plenty of fish in the sea.

And while in today's Green Lanterns, she is seen lusting after Nightwing, in previous episodes of Justice League, Cruz seemed to have a thing for Barry Allen. First teased….

…then made text…

…and they even got to flowers.

Of course, superheroics got in the way. Infection by shadow creatures, that sort of issue. And then things began to go to fast – even for Barry Allen, as they met their kids…

Which, you know, would be a freak out for anyone.

But Jessica Cruuz has moved on, and in Green Lanterns #40 is potentially dating again. With eyes on Nightwing. So who does Caper match her up with?

Awkward?

Not as awkward as today's Justice League #38. Because as Batman #40 shows us a Batman who spends decades not actually kissing Wonder Woman….In Justice League #38, Jessica Cruz goes for it with Bruce Wayne.

So… who's going to tell Catwoman? And maybe Bruce Wayne should have, I don't know, mentioned it?

"Oh yeah and there was that thing on the Justice League space station but… we can talk about it later.
