Batman/Catwoman #7 - "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful"

[laughing_tree]

Okay, I feel the goal of romance comics is watching the journey discover that they're two pieces that fit together. I love romance comics, but that's not really what's happening here. These two pieces already fit together and we're watching the impact of it. So it's almost like the moment after the romance comic. -- Tom King

I think that quote partially explains certain decision made by King during his Batman run as there was this at times baffling unwillingness to explain why anyone should want to see Bruce and Selina together. The story itself just seemed to assume that was what needed to happen and everyone understood why, which is where the romance comic aspect comes in as those usually try to do the baseline work for it.

How did lipstick stains end up on the couch? Did the Joker really like the upholstery?

How did Catwoman manhandle Batman into the vault?

I'm just picturing how the trial will go

The jury takes five seconds of "Deliberation" before declaring Selina not guilty and the judge is struggling not to laugh the whole time that the prosecutor is trying to claim that someone should go to jail for killing the Joker

Actually I imagine even the prosecutor wouldn't be able to keep a straight face

Ironically the Joker would probably find the whole thing pretty hysterical too, all those tax payer dollars being wasted on a "Trial" for someone who is "Guilty" of this

The first panel made me laugh. Reel it in a bit, Bruce.

The second is just... really bad dialogue lol.

Those last two pages with (presumably?) Helena Wayne!Batwoman being all somber and stuff and all the while the artist makes sure we can see the detailed curves of her ass and, through her reflection, her breasts from both the front and back(!!). And as she walks away, sashaying and bowlegged, she makes sure to pause sexily on the stairs.

Like I know this is standard comic book fare, but like, I wasn't the only one taken out by that, right?

Good lord, Helena's costume is horrible. What's with the 80s shoulders things?

"Holy hell Helena

With the lights on I can really drink you in

Those pants are just PAINTED on, aren't they?"
