Batman/Catwoman aims to "break that barrier" of couple's growth in DC history
Tom King☂ and Clay Mann reveal what their aims ar𓄧e for Batman/Catwoman

Tom King calls the upcoming maxiseries 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Batman/Catwoman the "culmination" of , but also the "beginning" of something❀ he hopes "breaks a barrier" inside DC.
"This is the end I always wanted to write for ꦇBatman and Catwoman: The culmination of not only what we did leading up to the wedding and afterwards, but of 80 years ❀and counting of this relationship between hero and a criminal," King said in .
"But it's also 🍌the beginning of something; it's a standalone series, which is much more ambitious than anything I tried in Batman - my attempt to tell one story that says everythin𓄧g I have to say about these characters and how they affect each other and us."
This is but the latest in a series of ambitious standalone 12-i👍ssue series King has done for DC, following , , and the current . In Batman/Catwoman, he's 𒐪dealing with romance - but also multiple timelines.
"For people who have read my [Batman run], the basic premise here is we have three timelines that take off from (the first and last kiss issue)," King explains. "We see Batma♐n and Catwoman at the beginning of their relationship after that first kiss, we see them now, and we see the end, after that last kiss. That allows for us to see her evolution - how Catwoman weജnt from being a rogue to a partner, and what that transition cost her."
Now, Catwoman has gone from rogue to partner, and even wife and mother of Batm💝an's children… but those changes were subsequently sidelined or retconned by DC. But now with Batman/Catwoman, King is attempting to "break that barrier" and give genuine "grow🉐th" to Batman and Catwoman's relationship.
"In comics the one thing we don't have a lot of is growth. we're sort of stuck in the one story," King says. "In Batman/Catwoman we try to brꦿeak that barrier, and give you a history and a moment you haven't seen before."
