The book was gritty grim noir. A Catwoman book should be an international heist/caper book like it was in the 90s.
Brubaker turned her into a goddamn Robin Hood. Selina should be stealing for herself first and foremost, followed by the thrill.
Selina was no longer luxurious or glamorous under Brubaker. She lived in an ugly apartment in the East End instead of a luxury penthouse. She also had a hideous short haircut instead of long, flowing locks.
He brought back her sleazy hooker origin which had been retconned by Catwoman Annual #2.
He brought back that trash bag Holly instead of Arizona.
I could go on but I need to chill because this list has made me livid.
A Catwoman book should be a caper book. It should be fun and irreverent, like The Italian Job meets Ocean’s Eleven. Balent’s book was like this, and Brubaker’s book was an insult to those of us who love Balent’s Sel.
