A loooooot of crap here, but the one thing I'm going to zero in on here is Commissioner Gordon's Nazi getup. Is he supposed to be the dictator of Gotham or something?

[lordultimus]

What get's me is the portrait behind him.

[tripodeca113]

I like his crystal ball.

[silverzeo]

And it does look like he is about to see a Disney Movie on there...

[glprime]

Oh, 90s...

[cygnia]

Those ass shots...*groans*

[blueprintstyles]

I feel like I missed something, what's with the maid outfit?

[jgeils]

The answer: Jim Balent.

[remial]

at least everyone has feet

[zachbeacon]

What's so strange about it? Alfred wears the same thing on laundry day.

[beeyo]

You win.

[tripodeca113]

You know the concept of Catwoman become the "Guardian of Gotham" could actually be quite interesting. How does her lack of resources, or differing ideology affect her crime fighting? Will she form different alliances?
Or maybe she could wear an ugly outfit and just be Batman. This Batman is also a really terrible villain, winning because everyone else is stupid. Why did he hold onto this cracker ring for decades?

[every_spiegel]

>> Why did he hold onto this cracker ring for decades?

Every and each pawnshop denied to buy it. That's what actually drove him mad as a bat.

[silverzeo]

Huh... that reminds me... wasn't there an Elseworld story that took place where Bruce didn't inherited his family fortune and somehow it went to Barbra Gordon where she got a Nano Bat suit and called herself Batwoman and bruce became a crazy hobo man in a raggy Batman suit? Or where those 2 different stories?

Yeah, it really also bad when you count in how Bat and Cat have that on/off again relationship they are known to have, they are in love but have different POVs... Here... he is just a psychopath compared to how Catman is just a Kelpto. Hell, even the crazy stuff in Batman Returns had some common ground for them...

[every_spiegel]

Boobs! Err, I meant to say asses! Oh. Well. Okay, the fan-service ranges from highly inappropriate to outright cringy (mostly that) but I love the idea of such a mirror universe. Maybe, with less psychopathic Batman (who would have nothing to do with Kyles murder) and darker atmosphere, I think it would be a really interesting story.

Also, ahem, Selina, I understand you're not thinking straight but I bet there are no pawnshops in Gotham to buy a plastic ring from a candy box.

[crinos]

The thing that kills me is they replaced Alfred with the most fetishistic bubbly centerfold of a Maid ever conceived. Who does literally nothing but make suggestive poses.

I mean, if you want to make porn, just make fucking porn.

[mesmiranda]

See, that's what flipped the switch in my mind from "this is terrible" to "this is hilariously terrible". It was the final cherry on top of the perfect three-scoop banana-split sundae of terrible.

[katefan]

And that's pretty much what Jim Balent went on to do with Tarot. :/

[captainbellman]

This comic's vagina is haunted.

[cygnia]

Not gonna lie...first time I saw that pic, I thought it was Deadpool talking about Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel...

[garth2the2ndpower]

Holy crap. The fireplace design, Two-Face's costume, the awkward poses... and why in the hell would Selina have a bed designed like that? There's so much cheesecake in this comic that reading it in its entirety would be fattening.

That aside, Batman's death is so hilariously drawn, I can't help but imagine the Sonic bouncing noise when he hits the building on the way down.

[janegray]

Shame they wasted an interesting premise with this terrible execution.

[informationgeek]

Boobs. That's all I got.

I thought that type of french maid outfit only existed in porn. Here's this Vegeta and Goku as maids for some equality: http://2.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/97/68/50a7f027f45fe441b6691594550b0de3.jpg

I'm going to shamelessly post this so feel free to throw what I say in the trash. If Selina was a lesbian in this comic, it'd be perfect.

[bmaryott]

I'm just going to say that she's probably bisexual in THIS comic, and not add if it's canon or not.

[mastermahan]

She has a panty-shot fetish maid who says she's what Selina needs instead of a husband, and they hang out in bathrobes together. They're clearly fucking, and Captain Brucebeard joined a poly relationship.

[thehood]

Selina's parents have the same name as Bruce's?

[burkeonthesly]

She should mention that during their next fight, and all can be forgiven.

[katefan]

I guess the name "Martha" was a lot more common in the DCU as we all thought.

[silverzeo]

.... who ARE Catwoman's parents in cannon again?

[lissa_quon]

See for a second when the maid showed up in that weird assless dress I assumed she was like arm candy or something. Like maybe Selina has a live in mistress/maid/lover - but NOPE. What a fool I was for trying to glean some semblance of logic out of this.

Also what is the age gap between Bruce and Selina in this if he was the mugger from the beginning?

[roxas832]

Random thing to focus on among the deep fried cheesecake but what's with the female statues in Selina's mansion? They look like something Jabba the Hutt commissions.

[alicemacher]

The only thing I liked in this mess of messes was Gordon's weird but cool El Presidente outfit.

[agharta75]

Is this the worst Catwoman story ever?

About the only thing that could even minimally redeem this would be Cats using Tommy Monaghan's Cat-Signal.

[batspider]

The cynics love to fire off comments any time a gal's boobs or booty are prominent in a scan but some of us men on here are straight and I for one appreciate it when I see it... and I'm not the only one. Who cares if it's an unreachable aesthetic, these are comic book characters we're talking about. Female empowerment, down with misogyny, blah blah blah... just stop.
