I like this goofy ass looking version of Selina:
What is it with DC and turning any serious romance interest of Bruce into villains?
Destroy Gotham. It's not worth the effort.
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
Why does anyone live in Gotham?
Is it cheap? Is that it? By now it must be the cheapest city to live in the DC Universe.
I can only imagine the discussions people have before moving there...
Husband: Hey what if I told you that their was a place we could move to that was so cheap we could stop treating the Labrador retrievers like a kids and actually have real ones?
Wife: Cleveland?
Husband: Uhhh...no. What if I told you that this place would also allow you to quit your job and we would still be able to move out of this apartment and live in the suburbs in a house with five rooms and a two car garage!?
Wife: I would think you're lying.
Husband: It's...not Detroit.
Wife: I didn't say Detroit. What is the catch?!
Husband: ((whispers)) It's Gotham.
Wife: What?
Husband Sigh...It's Gotham.
Wife: Oh my God! That city where that guy who dresses as a clown keeps killing people and getting away with it!?
Husband: Oh come on! He doesn't get away with it! They always catch him....they just can't keep him behind bars! Besides you have a better chance of being struck by lighting than being killed by that guy.
Wife: No.
Husband: C'mon!

Why do beams shoot out Cyclops eyes. Come on now.
The thing is, most of these recent events use as a premise that Bruce's actions as Batman do have some kind of real-life consequences and he has to face them (Future state or him having to forfeit his fortune to Lucius, just off the top of my head), so asking why people still lives in Gotham when every other week a maniac took over the city is a legitimate question.
DC putting war in the title is like them saying "avoid this. mediocre filler". Wargames. Joker War. Shadow War. Gotham War. Voting with my wallet.
Nothing about this suggests "EVENT!" to me. This seems to just be a Batman vs Catwoman story. I'm missing what's so special about this one.
