Tom King reveals Helena Wayne’s new look for Batman/ Catwoman

 

“Hello Helena” indeed.🦇🐈

Looking like a chip off the ol’ Bat and Cat block, Batman Catwoman writer Tom King has revealed a new image featuring the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle in Helena Wayne - sporting a new look that combines the best of both worlds from her parents with art by artist Clay Mann. As part of his new ongoing series that continues from his Batman run and explores the romance between Batman and Catwoman in the past, present, and future, this new look for Helena begs the question whether she is still using the “Huntress” name, or has embraced her father’s legacy by becoming the new Batgirl or Batwoman thanks to the new cowl that’s very much in line with the original look The Bat-Man had in his first appearance. We’ll know soon enough what this is as Batman Catwoman continues, with solicitations for issue #4 expected to be released soon by DC.

In a few weeks it's time to continue Tom King's story on Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle's romance and adventures, as "Batman Catwoman" by King and artist Clay Mann begins its run and becomes the latest DC Black Label miniseries to be released with 12 issues under its wing. Entertainment Weekly has spotlighted the upcoming new series, and has released some exclusive new images in the article - which features interviews with King and Mann as well as the writer declaring that the "Bat Cat" duo are officially married as far as he's concerned, as well as detailing what the run will be about - concentrating on the past, present, and future as Bruce and Selina go on a journey that spans their early years, their marriage, and that future where an older Selina goes on a case after her husband's death. Also, new costumes and the DC Universe debut of Phantasm, aka Andrea Beaumont from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Special was supposed to be released today

Today, April 15th, 2020, would have been the release of the "Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Special" issue - a commemorative deluxe one-shot comic that would have celebrated the eight decades that Selina Kyle and her femme fatale alter ego has appeared in the pages of DC Comics since her debut in Batman #1 in Spring 1940. As the years have shown, Selina has grown into a complex and unpredictable fan-favorite character, starting off as a Cat-themed villainess before evolving into an anti-hero and of course the on-and-off romantic interest of Bruce Wayne/ Batman. That relationship was taken further in the early 2000's with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's epic "Batman: Hush" storyline, and the revisited in Tom King's run which almost resulted in the official union of "Bat Cat".

With the trying times and suspension of new comic book releases until further notice, let's commemorate Catwoman's 80th Anniversary by honoring her legacy - like with this collection of graphic novels, books, and figures I have amassed in the years I have been a collector and fan of  Batman, his world, and the rest of the DC Universe. Looking forward to getting that Super Special eventually when things get better for all of us.

Happy 80th Anniversary, Catwoman!

ICYMI: Batman/ Batman Returns easter egg spotted for "Crisis on Infinite Earths"

Looks like Batman and DC Universe fans are going to be VERY PLEASED if this shot from the Instagram account "Crisis_On_Infinite_Earths" holds any weight to it!

Reportedly spotted at the set of the upcoming DC on the CW crossover sharing the same name as the 1985-1986 DC Comics crossover event series that reshaped the comic universe, a the front page of the "Gotham City Gazette" newspaper reveals "WayneTech CEO -Bruce Wayne to Marry Socialite Selina Kyle" on the front page - and it features Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne as seen in Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns! As fans very well remember - Keaton played the Caped Crusader in those movies and had a romance with Michelle Pfeiffer's Selina Kyle/ Catwoman. Could Warner Bros. and The CW be bringing the actor back in the iconic role aside from this easter egg? Guess we'll find out soon enough!

Crisis on Infinite Earths begins on the Arrowverse this fall!
