![]() ![]() Another positive is the actual wedding itself. It's still a little unnecessary, but at least it is easier to follow. One thing that this issue does that is quite positive is that, while there are still different points in time being explored, it's done in a much tighter fashion and weaves into the "present" story in a more seamless fashion in that they all lead into one another. I've said from the start that the multiple timelines felt like stretching things just to create the space necessary to fill 12 issues and, now that the final issue is here, I stand by that. It's a Catwoman story-not even an especially good one-and there were plenty of times when it felt, generally, like King both didn't understand Selina Kyle as a character in any meaningful way, and more than that didn't really know how to put her story together. But going into Batman/Catwoman, this title was never a Batman story. I've never been much for Batman's relationship with Catwoman, but King's story made me see it differently and come to understand and even appreciate it. While I absolutely do not think it was the best run ever, there are certain elements and moments in which King posed some interesting questions about Bruce Wayne and his work as Batman and there was a good bit of interesting exploration of the character, his trauma, and the impact it has had. Before diving into this, it needs to be said that I don't dislike Tom King and I don't entirely dislike his Batman run. ![]()
