Batman #24 preview

[dietrich]

So lets say they get married what then. Batman carries on batmaning but what about Selina? part of the reason why Harley eclipsed Selina is that in recent years they've turned her into love interest not a solo carrying character. If Selina isn't thieving and cating around then what is she a good guy?

Her position is so murky that i'm not sure where she stands now. She's definitely not the Selina kyle of old who always had her own personal agenda. Poor cat has been declawed.

There is so much potential in writing Bruce and Selina as a married couple. They would be dysfunctional AF, but not necessarily doomed. It would be something legitimately new with them, and would beat the tedious "will they/won't they" stuff. Not to mention no more bland interchangeable civilian love interests for Bruce who wind up in the fridge, because DC would not have the balls to kill off or injure Selina. At least not permanently.

I actually sometimes wish we would see Bruce date more civilians if only because it would actually give him something to do as Bruce Wayne .

They were married in earth 2 but... I don´t see the same here Working...

Catwoman would end as a heroine or as Selina Kyle... Goodbye to robbery..

I don´t see the Bruce Wayne of this universe married..

I could see Bruce either turning a blind eye or it becoming some sort of recurring joke where she steals and he firces her to give it back.

USAToday have an article up on the cliffhanger

By using Selina and making me care about her again, King kind of proved why these characters should never marry. Their similarities and differences, their hot and cold, on and off, are what make them work. Catwoman has that wonderful air of ambiguity and mystery about her. Same with Bruce.

But what a setup for a story here, marriage or hopefully not. King has made it convincing enough. He didn't rush it. I think Morrison's Inc Catwoman story kind of helps set this up too as that was the last Catwoman story I really enjoyed and one that I thought really captured their relationship well, in a simple compelling way.

Can you imagine how Julie Madison might react? Talia?

King really writes relationships well. Crushed my heart with his Wanda/Vision instalment of Vision. Captured every tumultuous moment of theirs like lightning in a bottle. I trust him with Bruce and Selina, even if it might go North later on, he'll give those moments real verisimilitude [yes, I'm quoting a Superman director's favorite word and applying it to Batman]]

Which means there should definitely be a marriage that occurs in the future.

Honestly, of all of the known heroes, Batman is one where divorce is not a story killer and actually fits.

Batman is awful i a lot of ways but you can't have him turning a blind eye to crime. If he and Selina did settle down she has to become a good guy 100%

Why would one want a Superhero divorce Story?

Why would one want a Superhero divorce Story?

When you do it with Green Arrow, you get Cry for Justice
When you do it with Spider-Man, you get One More Day
Even when you do it in an elseworld with Superman, you get Act of God

It's never any good.

Exactly I'm also one of those that maintains that Bats shouldn't settle down. We don't need a marriage for the sake of it.

I'll never understand why DC basically dropped the 'billionaire playboy' routine (at least on panel).

I've always thought there's a lot of fun to be had with that concept.

[Miles To Go]

So in the USA preview..

spoilers:

There's actually a pay-off to Bruce recollecting how Selina and him first met in the Golden Age...he bought the diamond Selina stole, which is what he uses in proposing

end of spoilers

Yes, DC has oddly dropped it and undertold it. Morrison's run early on (before Final Crisis) was the last time I really felt it given proper attention in a quality way.
