Batman/Catwoman
The Wedding Album
The Deluxe Edition
by; Tom King
issues #24, 44 & 50
Story/Art: I think the story is pretty self-explanatory,
they are getting married each is writing a letter to the other the artwork as
you read the letters alternating between the two was fantastic. It's their
history from their very first meeting artwork recreated by Mikel Janín and all
the other times they met showcasing the artwork from a variety of artist
throughout the years; like Frank Miller, Amanda Conner, Tim Sale, Rafael
Albuquerque, Jim Lee, Scott Williams, David Finch, Jose Villarrubia, Alex Sinclair,
Hi-Fi, Clay Mann, Joёlle Jones and a whole bunch more.
Review: Bittersweet. I have always loved the idea of Batman
and Catwoman together (blame Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer). But I
always knew no matter how much they said they love each other they could never
be happy together. The Catwoman ending of Injustice had it right, they can play
act at the happily ever after but ultimately Selena would get bored. She may
act altruistic at times because she's not evil at heart but she's still a
villain; she can never truly be a hero inside this timeline. BUT then again I
prefer the Batman and Talia ill-fated love story, when it was actually a love
story before someone went and screwed that up, so what do I know. Overall, I
really enjoyed this the love letters and the combination of all the different
artwork. For being as short as it is it is mainly visual.
