Preview: JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #5

So, you think you know what really happened in the last issue? Come see if your theory is right!

If you still haven't read JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #4, now is the time to bolt.

Seriously, go away.

Alright, I'm going to assume they're gone. As you know, Catwoman was allegedly killed in the last issue and since then we've all have our theories on why we think Selina Kyle is actually still alive (you know, aside from appearing on upcoming solicit covers). Today, DC has released a preview of the next issue and it's quite revealing. Check it out below and see if you can solve what happened.

@autopsad: he's not the joker cause he says he wishes the joker could see him now. i was thinking he was from an alternate universe so another earth's joker but now dont know if he is going to be some obscure golden age villain or not like signal man lol.

Man, this preview is a major spoiler...And I can't wait for all of the people who went apesh*t over Catwoman's "death" to read this. Silly rabbits, they should know deaths in comics mean very little.

Deaths in comics are always funny, the character could be missing all their limbs and some way they would still come back to life

If Catwoman really was or is dead, Batman would solo all of them plus the JlA cause it's there fault.

I've got horrible news, friend. Batman couldn't even solo his way out of his son's death. Pretty sure he goes down like a chump in your scenario.

did catwoman become a red lantern or something?

It seems unlikely, but it sort of has the same appearance as a red lantern. Their blood does boil. But why/how/when would the context have been built for this?

@redqueen: It's most likely some kind of shape shifter, or a surprise addition to the team that's been kept under wraps. I'd like to think it's the latter, but I'm pretty sure someone would've let that slip in this digital age

The Catwoman impostor is probably Darkseid's daughter.

I think in this case the "death" was valid, and it's not a case of comic book death, because it was written not as an actual death, but as a cliffhanger ending, a shock twist, without the intent of actually killing off the character and then deciding "oh, now let's bring her back".

Tell that to the wave of fans that made angry blogs about how killing characters for shock is becoming unbearable, and the constant "No, DC, you suck! I love Selina" comments. I knew she wasn't ''dead'' or at least wasn't gonna stay that way, yet people instantly went up in arms over it.

This much was obvious. So where are all those people who were standing on their soap boxes blabbing about the unfair treatment of women in comics, "Selina got fridged wah wah boo hoo."

I was thinking the pasty guy was actually Alfred from earth 3. Wasn't that the crime syndicate earth? He might have been jokerised at some point. And as for Catwoman- Martian Manhunter or perhaps, less likely, a red lantern?
