The new Disney+ original series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she balances her new status as a criminal defense attorney and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest superhero. Jen acclimates to her new powers quickly, but her dating life has not improved by any stretch of the imagination -- even after she receives her gamma-radiated upgrade.
In a press conference for She-Hulk attended by CBR, star Tatiana Maslany revealed which superhero she would personally like to see Jennifer Walters cozy up with. And in a surprising crossover twist, Maslany's preference wasn't a fellow MCU hero but a character from a specific iteration of the DC Universe -- the light-hearted Caped Crusader from the 1960s, Adam West, who starred in the Batman television series and its 1966 spinoff film.
"I keep saying Batman from the Adam West series," Maslany declared with a laugh in response to a question from Rupesh Nair of IGN India regarding which superhero she wanted to set Jen up with. "I love that show and want to do scenes with him."
Trailers for She-Hulk reveal Jennifer using dating apps with limited success as she languishes in the emotional rollercoaster of single life in between her professional and superhero responsibilities. In a cheeky marketing move, the Disney+ series has created a dating profile for Jennifer as her emerald alter ego on Tinder, with those who swipe on the Jade Giant receiving a message to catch the series premiere rather than providing a genuine match.
Co-star Ginger Gonzaga, who plays Jennifer's best friend Nikki Ramos in the series, felt that Groot could be a fun date for Jennifer before clarifying that Baby Groot was "too young" for the superhero to pursue romantically. And while Jennifer might receive some superhero training from her cousin Bruce Banner to hone her powers, Banner isn't likely to have any advice for Jen, given his own romantic hang-ups in the MCU.
With Jennifer encountering everyone from the Abomination to Daredevil over the course of the first season, the superhero attorney will have no shortage of costumed characters to flirt with. Any would-be suitors who normally behave boorishly on first dates should beware -- this is one match they certainly don't want to make angry.
Created by Jessica Gao, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premieres Aug. 18 on Disney+, with new episodes released every Thursday.
