Batman/Catwoman

I waited a year for this book to come out. The book did not disappoint, but it was slightly different from what I was expecting but definitely good. I would have given this 4.5 stars as I had a couple of complaints but it does deserve a round-up instead of down. Great story and artwork.The complaints I had are:This is more of Catwoman and Joker's story with Batman more as a side character.The book is set in 3 time periods (as seems to be Tom King's style), which is a little confusing I am glad to have all the books collected together makes it easier to buy the monthly would have driven me mad.The book is set in the far past, then in the near past (our present), and the future (the book's present). It is like reading 3 stories every issue/chapter.The book is definitely from Catwoman's perspective. It does a great job of showing her developing relationships, and character. As I said Batman seems to be a side character and a couple of steps behind everyone else and gets beaten up a lot. It is the extra issues that add great details to Selina and Bruce's (Cat and Bat) relationship. It is a quite dark and bittersweet story/book. However definitely enjoyable.This collected edition contains all 12 issues, Batman Annual #2, Detective Comics #1027, Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100 page Super Spectacular #1, and Batman/Catwoman Special #1. The book has a thumbnail regular and variant cover gallery of all 12 main issues than a full page variant of the rarer issues.

Enjoyable, good artwork, worth a read.

The ultimate Catwoman story. Loved this.

A piece of art!

The culmination of 4 years on the Batman title, Tom King has established that Selina first met Bruce when she briefly stayed at Wayne Orphanage after his parents had been murdered in Crime Alley. Later, as Selina worked as a dominatrix, Bruce's debut as a vigilante inspired her to become an expert jewel thief. Mostly, they danced across the rooftops as a couple of spandex swells: the Bat and the Cat. This collection of stories interwoven with the Batman Catwoman maxi series has King chronicling their romance from first bandage to final gunshot on a lonely Gotham City street corner. King makes a compelling argument that Bruce's heart has always belonged to Selina, which nobody can deny... and I completely agree :D
