Two handcuff covers! I love that Sejic cover !

Not the romantic reunion Selina was probably hoping for...

[Frontier]

spoilers:

Oh no, Valmont is dead! Anyways... Also, despite the solicits and covers, Selina is never actually shown in handcuffs once, even in the panel where she's being arrested. So much contrived drama. Should I care about Tomcat? He feels like a joke character.

spoilers:

Valmont really was just a roadblock for Bruce and Selina, if you can call it even that. Seems a lot of the tension was defused in the jail call. Selina thinks Bruce will only think of her as a murderer when they're banging, but Bruce sort of diffuses that by saying how capable of forgiveness he is, and Selina is all "OK, I'll hate myself for a bit, but once I get over it, you're still number one" She's only known him for how many months? DC still not entirely sure where they stand with these two

It felt all contrived. Even the Bruce and Selina stuff felt forced.

I rather liked this issue. Thought the writing was pretty good on it.

That should worry you.

Bruce" "I love you, Selina"
Selina: "We'll see about that".

Please get a new writer ASAP. No more untalented scribblers that write fan fiction versions of popular characters to draw attention to themselves.

I thought it was at least mildly entertaining. Def better than anything between Brubaker's last issue and the beginning of Rebirth, anyway (I realize that's a low bar, but still).

[Frontier]

I feel like Howard is more at home writing Punchline than she is writing Catwoman.

[Top Hat]

That should worry you.

Why?

If it’s writing I didn’t know there was some kind of agreed consensus I had to sign up to first before posting on here.

Ya know I find it kinda amusing just how horrible a girlfriend Selina is written. Makes it sad that Bruce is still loyal to her despite her arguably not deserving it.

I mean say what you will about Talia but at least she's kinda more loyal to Bruce than Selina is.

........ Man Bruce needs a girl that isn't toxic as ****.

Yes, like in that Red Hood story.

Always makes me laugh when people condemn a writer on a titles of being a fan fiction writer, translation the writer is writing a story I don’t like because it doesn’t agree with my personal headcannon.

I mean, I don't think Howard is writing a very good and compelling story to begin with, let alone characterization-wise.
