DC Sneak Peek: Catwoman

[informationgeek]

There's such a great history for the character, but in the same way Gotham is an elastic town, she's got an elastic story, where there's a lot of room for her within the DC mythos that Mark [Doyle, the Batman group editor] and company have been excited to explore. The last arc of Catwoman was a chance to tell a really great story for Selina that made the most of her sly smarts and set up some characters that could give her a run for her money, in one way or another, and the reader response has been incredible. This arc is where all those delicate things start to go to pieces, and in some ways that's even better." - Genevieve Valentine



















I've enjoyed Valentine's run on Catwoman so far and I look forward to this next arc, especially with this new artist, David Messina (whose work I like far more than Garry Brown), and the fact that Stephanie Brown will be appearing. This ought to be good.

I think that final film - as much as it's my favourite of the three in spite of the nitpicking against it - was a bit crowded as is; Including a guy who suddenly starts wearing a skull mask without time to explain it - even on surface level like Scarecrow - would have been a little off.

That said, he could have easily replaced, say, Daggett, as much as I enjoy that poor chump's final scene with Bane and the 'oh shit' look when Bane simply lays his hand on his shoulder.
