The story and art alone is good enough that I'd love it for just that, but there's more to it. There's a true understanding of Selina Kyle, and nods to every era, from the Jim Balent purple costume to a heavy dose of the Brubaker/Cooke version, along with maybe the best interpretation of Killer Croc I've ever seen, a really wonderful use of Poison Ivy and Jason Blood/The Demon. In addition, the blossoming love story between a retired Riddler and Catwoman works so very well, and I love the story of his daughter Edie and Selina too.

Catwoman is a fictional character created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the superhero Batman. Debuting as " the Cat" in Batman #1 (spring 1940), she is one of the Dark Knight's most notable enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his rogues' gallery. However, the character has also been depicted as an antiheroine and become Batman's best known and most enduring love interest, with many stories depicting their complex love–hate relationship. [4] Since 1993, Catwoman has had her own ongoing series, Catwoman. In Frank Miller's All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, Catwoman expresses interest when the Joker's invites her to join him in "some mischief".
