I just can't forgive King for ruining Catwoman's character like that, no matter the justification. Just because 237 people were ''terrorists'' doesn't make is any less of a MASS MURDER. Not to mention how she acts towards the killings, as if she is relishing it which she NEVER DID in her history. I mean even against Black Mask who wanted to destroy everything and everyone she cared about, when she killed him, she was feeling freaking guilt over it. And now we are, not to mention BATMAN himself who is all about not killing , expected to go and say '' oh yea, you mass murdered 237 people but they were terrorists so I guess it is fine ''. Not to mention this whole deal with make it impossible for me to take her ''care-free'' attitude seriously other than her being turned into more like a female-Joker because Selina I know would be far more serious about such things and couldn't go on the same way as we see here. She shouldn't be another mentally-damaged murderer. Batman has enough psycos as it is. What made Catwoman iconic was that she had that redemptive part and that what made her / her relationship interesting with Batman. But after knowing this ? I cannot honestly believe Bruce truly loving a mass murderer...no matter what, and IT PAINS ME to think that because Selina and Bruce is one of my top relationships other than Peter and Mary Jane and now both are in the ruin.
Even more insult to injury, Harley Quinn is now supposedly a ''hero'' while Selina is a Mass Murderer.... Rebirth was going soo well until this crap happened that , honestly, make me wanna not read this crap anymore because I can't stand the idea of a Mass Murderer Catwoman, acting like normal and Batman ignoring that fact like normal too. Why did they had to ruin her so...Why....
First time posting here and still new to comics, but what the hell was King thinking? I don't even know if I want to continue reading.
"I'll break his/your damn back"--It sounds so stupid and cheesy. It was weird at first and laughable by the end. Also, what's the point of making Catwoman a murderer? Honestly, is King doing this just for shock value or trying to put a new "edgy" layer onto their relationship? I don't think Batman could ever forgive/understand her now. Does Tom King hope for readers to understand/empathize with Selina because some terrorist bombed an orphanage? "Let's reintroduce Catwoman for Rebirth; however, let's portray her as a mass murderer and villain even though her pre-Flashpoint characterization and backstory was perfectly fine."
''but it is terrorists, Man ! '' Everyone hates terrorists so that makes it okay , right ? RIGHT ? Why are you looking at me like a bloodthirsty - crazy person ? LETS PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE ! .... is what I think of King right now. I mean with Joker sidelined, I guess they want take that road with Catwoman ? They had to have a mass murderer, heavily involved with Batman to show how ''edgy'' it is. History and Iconic character be damned !
You know what is the worst part ? She doesn't feel the guilt or effects of those murders. She is still as non-chalant about it as her robberies. And by the end, she turns into a pessimist by saying '' Oh Bruce, you fight for a better world but there is no such thing...and when you come to think of like me, we can be together that way '' which is BULLSHIT. No matter what, Selina was always upbeat with her struggles. That is what keeps her going, not this emo '' everything is bad and can't be better '' crap. How the hell Batman is the more optimistic guy in this relationship ?! HOW ?!
It should be the opposite that Catwoman coming to the light to make the relationship work, rather than Batman diving into darkness....THAT IS TALIA'S BACKGROUND, NOT SELINA ! How can they do this to Bruce's True love. and knowing this info, how can Selina be Bruce's true love now, where she IS a mass murderer, no matter what the circumstance might be.
I cannot believe the Mob-boss Selina I hated looks and sounds more reasonable than this Selina we get.
