* Big Barda of the ''ComicBook/NewGods'' had this relationship with her husband Mr. Miracle's BestFriend Oberon. The two frequently teased and insulted each other — Oberon declaring that Barda was [[AmazonianBeauty all legs and no brain]], Barda mocking Oberon's diminutive stature — but were good friends even if they'd never admit it.

** Superman and Batman had somewhat evolved in this direction following the reinterpretation of ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'', whose creator opined that the characters were too fundamentally different to ever be friends. Following the launch of ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'', they've been portrayed as good friends, but they are far from the ''World's Finest'' they used to be. Of course, DependingOnTheWriter, the relationship can be either "close as brothers" to a lukewarm friendship, and all the various points in between.

That said, in recent years it's definitely leaned much more towards the former, with it being pretty much uncontested that Superman is Batman's best friend and vice-versa.

** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and Thara "Flamebird" Ak-Var used to be like sisters until the manipulations of the villains during the ''ComicBook/NewKrypton'' and ''ComicBook/WhoIsSuperwoman'' storylines caused them to have a fallout. Even so, Christ "Nightwing" Kent thinks Kara and Thara just don't want to admit they still love each other. So, when Lois Lane wonders in ''ComicBook/TheHuntForReactron'' why Kara and Thara seem to be constantly fighting, Chris answers they are good friends. He would later be proved right.
