BAT/CAT WEDDING!

[uadlika.insanejournal.com]

Continuing in my belief that EVERY week is Bat/Cat week (um, if that's okay with you guys) I bring you the Batman/Catwoman wedding from Nightwing #52, which is reprinted in the Nightwing: On Razor's Edge

Repost from the old s_d.

3 things:
1) Where the hell is Babs? If the rest of the Birds are there she should be too.
2) Tim is adorable and dorky. HE IS WEARING A BOW TIE.
3) I believe the vicar is supposed to be someone important in Batman history. Or Walt Disney. He looks like Walt Disney to me.



Why is Wonder Woman kicking Huntress in the head? Oh wait I'm dumb they are going for the bouquet.







This is the panel I bring out when my friend says that Superman is too much of a boyscout. So is Batman! Catwoman says so it must be true!

So yeah, a bit of a weird Selina there. Then she goes on to kiss Nightwing to make the Bat jealous but Nightwing just laughs at her. So she punches him. And a good time was had by me.

Babs isn't there because Catwoman, whose dream this is, doesn't know who Oracle is. All the others are publicly known heroes or villains.

And I agree "squeeing Timmy" is worrying and cute at the same time.

Ah, that makes sense. I thought at one point Selina knew who Oracle was, but it was obviously later. Thanks!

She knows there IS an Oracle, and Oracle had used her skills a couple of times, but not who she is.

Selina actually *worked* with Oracle, indirectly and reluctantly, twice, at least one of which came before this. Which is why Huntress is there; they'd had two team-ups at that point, one of which was the second (or third? the publish order isn't the same as the story order on the early BoP minis, so I always lose track) mission Dinah ever did for Babs. Selina, Helena and Dinah all dated the same con artist and teamed up for revenge, and Selina was aware of Dinah's partner.

She'd have, however, no reason to associate that partner with herself or Bruce, or any concept of said partner's face, age, or even race or gender, with which to construct a visual for her fantasy.

Bruce eventually presumably hooks them up properly, as they do have occasional contact much, much later in their careers, and Helena gets her to help with the Babs jailbreak, but she probably *still* didn't know who Babs actually *was* (beyond, perhaps, "former Batgirl") until the four-page rolodex spread during the Spy Smasher arc, when Dinah has a bunch of her friends and a handful of Barbara's show up to intimidate Katarina. At which point everybody and their mother could find out her whole life story by checking the building ownership. But this is years before that.

So now that Selina knows who Babs is (and was), I wonder if she likes to remind her of that time at The Gotham Hedonist Club...
