Catwoman #3
That's a strangely shaped room. Also, Bat Joke.
Catwoman escapes from the clutches of Boner's men and then hunts him down. She beats him up on the top of a building and then is about to push him to his death for killing her friend Lola when Batman arrives and convinces her not to.
She does it anyway even though she knows Bats will save him. And she takes off back to the apartment with her dead friend to dispose of any evidence that would tie her to the body. As she's doing this, the police bust in and the issue ends.
The comic isn't bad. It's a little bit more cheesecakey than I think it needs to be. Just because the title character is a woman doesn't mean she needs to be nearly naked ever few pages. None of the Batman titles treat Batman that way! What DC needs is to forget about having more female authors writing for female leads. They need to have more female writers at the helm of male lead character comics! Let's see someone do a sexy Deathstroke comic! Or sexy Green Lantern!
I also wish the Batman/Catwoman relationship would go in a new direction. I already suggested that Batman should be pining over her and stalking her while she moves on. That would be interesting. But this whole sexual tension and they can't get enough of each other thing was done. It's a reboot! Let's do it differently.
Three issues down and Catwoman has made out with Batman/Bruce Wayne in every one so far! I didn't know DC was into romance books.
