So
teh_no wanted to know:

What was the first moment your OTP clicked for you? The "see? see? see?" moment when you were sure anyone not shipping them must've been blind? It can be one specific scene, a panel, a word balloon, an episode, a passage of text... even a fan's fic or vid. Just tell me about it and repost your answer to your own blog, along with this introductory text.

I know this can be a hard question for comics fans who grew up with the characters, but I guess I'd put it as:  what was the moment you knew you had to go find more stories about your preferred two, or write them yourself?  For me, it was here:  in Superman/Batman:  Public Enemies #3.  They're surrounded by...most of the villains in the DCU at this moment, and it's just the two of them:



As I told
teh_no, it seems strange that with all the near-overt man-love going on in Loeb this would be the moment that clinched it for me.  But it's the bedrock certainty that they can rely on each other completely--and that if they have to die today, they could never ask to do it in better company, as they think during the ensuing melee:





So...what was the turning point for you?  When did you realize that somehow your relationship with your favorite characters had officially gone beyond "They're great" to "I have to become a public and overt fan of this pairing and promote it when possible"?
