difficult to answer, because of the way DC multiverse is structured. If you accept that there are 52 universes in DC continuity, then there's one iteration of him in each of those universes. However, there have been many tales of alternate past and future supermen, under the "Elseworlds" imprint. You should also take a look at "Hypertime", a recent innovation in DC comics that basically allows the multiverse to constantly re-write its own continuity. It all suggests that there's an infinite number of Supermen. It's subject to interpretation.

Technically and officially, the answer is "no." There was an Elseworlds special Superman: Last Son of Earth, released in 2000. This tells the story of Superman (Clark Kent) growing up on a doomed Earth, from which he is sent into space and arrives safely on the planet Krypton which never explodes; a reversal of the legendary origin. Adopted by Jor-El, Clark grows up to find a discarded Green Lantern power ring and uses it to represent his adopted and native planets. A sequel was printed in 2003, titled Superman: Last Stand on Krypton. Neither of these stories occurred in current continuity and is considered an alternate history tale.

In an alternate future, depicted in Action Comics Annual#3 ("Executive Action," 2001), Superman gets an opportunity to become a Green Lantern when he defeats a rogue Guy Gardener and, taking possession of his ring, is then offered a lantern/power battery from Hal Jordan and John Stewart. He passes on the opportunity, and it is just as well, as that future was merely a potential future outside of canon anyhow.

One appearance of Superman as a Green Lantern that does occur in canon is Superman #147 ("One Man JLA: From Krypton to Oa," 1999 (the four-part story continues in Adventures of Superman #570, Action Comics #757, and Superman: Man of Steel #92)), however this turns out to not be occurring in reality and so this never truly happened either. Superman was also portrayed as a Green Lantern when he fell victim to a similar scheme orchestrated by the villain The Key in JLA #8-9 ("Imaginary Stories," "Elseworlds," 1997).

According to official continuity Batman has never married anyone, Although he does have romantic feelings for some characters within his universe, not to mention his two kids, Damian with Talia and Helena with Selena Kyle (Although this was written out of official continuity). There are some instances within the Elseworlds and alternative universes in which he is married. Such as in the Golden Age when Batman was married to Batwoman. Within the DC Animated Universe he does get married (The New Batman Adventures Episode 22 "Chemistry") although this was only for a short time and was reveled to be part of a criminal plot. The Animated Universe also had Bruce engaged to Andrea Beaumont as shown via flashbacks within the movie Mask of the Phantasm.
