Five Children Bruce Wayne Never Had
Mara
Both the New York Times and People magazine are already calling her one of the most influential people on the planet. The bidding war for the rights to publish her first picture is currently at 75 million dollars, well over the 20 million given for the latest of Brad and Angelina's brood.
The world is abuzz with speculation: How was she created—science, magic, or both? Can she fly? How strong is she? It was Lois Lane of the Daily Planet that originally coined the nickname by which the world now knows her.
She is Trinity—the sole biological child of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
And though she has yet to make a public appearance, it is already expected that one day she will take up the mantle of savior and join her parents in the pantheon of the world's greatest heroes.

Sounds of celebration echo throughout the halls of stately Wayne Manor. The ringing, boyish laughter of Dick, Tim, and Kon mingles with the more subdued, but equally happy, conversation of Queen Hippolyta, the elder Kents, Alfred, and J'onn—who as of an hour ago was named the child's godfather.
Tucked away in the master bedroom, a weary Diana rests, propped up by a mountain of pillows in the middle of an oversized bed.
To her left is Clark. Glasses forgotten, he is content to merely sit beside Diana, his fingers idly toying with a lock of her hair. Looking up, he catches Bruce's eye and grins beatifically, happy to play the part of the proud father.
Bruce sits to Diana's right. All traces of his masks absent, he merely watches his partners. He catches Clark's silly grin and the barest trace of a smile graces his own face. For the first time in recent memory, he is completely and utterly content.
Two-day-old Mara, the newest edition to the family, lies sleeping in Diana's arms. She has Bruce's ice-blue eyes, Diana's pert nose, and a shock of glossy black hair with a single unruly curl in the center of her forehead.
The trio knows that soon the outside world will intrude and they'll be pulled out of the manor and back into the harshness of reality. But for now they have each other, they have their daughter, and they have the rest of their unique little family close at hand.
It may not be perfect, but it's close enough.
