He still owes her a dinner for that event...

Selina using flirtatious bravado is the thing that I feel King sometimes didn’t quite nail down perfectly in his dialogue between Batman and Catwoman. Though I think that might be because he was leaning into the more somewhat straight-laced and vaguely melodramatic Bronze-Age style writing between them.

King’s approach to them is actually pretty Doug Moench in style; read the way he had them interact whenever he got the chance, and there’s a very “We are naturally drawn to each other as creatures of the night!” thing going on rather than flirting.

Though Moench’s “Heat” story in Legends of the Dark Knight is actually pretty good, mostly because he actually used a more interesting s et-up for their interactions that embraced the trust issues and divergent interests they had.

The most I remember about King's dialogue is cliche couple talk and "Bat, Cat, Bat, Cat" ad nauseam.

Speaking of Bat Cat here's a sneak peak for #4

The most I remember about King's dialogue is cliche couple talk and "Bat, Cat, Bat, Cat" ad nauseam.

The thing that makes it seem “cliche”, to me at least, is that it seems to lack the snap and energy on Selina’s side, and the quiet mix of stoicism and snark on Bruce’s side. Don’t get me wrong, there’s more types of chemistry they can have than that, but it’s chemistry that makes them interesting and King’s writing for them seemed very prosaic at times. Even Paul Dini had modified the ways he wrote about them when he took over the comics, instead dof pursuing the more straightforward tac from the DCAU (though that universe had moved a bit by Cult of the Cat.)

Like, if your going to have them debate when they met, Selina should be making a few humorous anecdotes about things that have an inherent humor to them, like him letting her get away (Batman #1), or about his low budget “street” disguise (Batman: Year One), and Bruce should maybe make some observations about her that start out simply subjective, than have some dry observations later.

By the way, when was that from?
I thought Eartha Kitt passed away around ten years or so ago.

Is the Blake Northcott Catwoman 2 parter officially a part of the Murphyverse? It was horrrrrrrrriiiiiiiibbbbbbbblllllllllleeeeeeee.

[zvrk]

I believe not. I don't even remember what happened in that story. She went to an island where a supercokehead was doing something? An auction?

I believe art was good.

Gotham version really stands out by comparison.

TNBA Catwoman looks so depressed .
