"Echoing plot points from King's epic Batman run, this sweeping tale is told across three timelines: the past, when the Bat and the Cat first fell in love; the present, where their union is threatened by one of Batman's lost loves; and the future, where the couple have a happy life and legacy-including their daughter Helena, the Batwoman. As the story begins, after a long marriage, Bruce Wayne passes away-which frees Selina Kyle to settle an old score. At every stage of their relationship, Bruce and Selina have an unwelcome chaperone: The Joker! Oh, and that lost love of Bruce's? It's Andrea Beaumont, a.k.a. Phantasm. Just thought you'd want to know."-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The story jumps between three points in time. At some point in the past, Catwoman vexes Batman by hanging with the Joker. A few years down the road, in the present, Kyle vexes Wayne by getting involved in Phantasm's revenge spree against the Joker. In the far future, Selina vexes Bruce's daughter Helena by seeking her own long-overdue revenge on the Joker.
I'm not a fan of Phantasm, not the incarnation that appeared in the Batman animated series or the character's original inspiration, the Reaper, who appeared in Batman: Year Two. But really, Phantasm's machinations are just an excuse to have the Bat and the Cat get into some conflict and don't play that big a role in the overall story. Joker's presence looms larger, but he too is just a point of tension between the title characters.
The short stories that fill out the back third of this thick book wonderfully complement the main story.
My only complaint about the collection is that I wish they had included the title cards and credits that appeared in the original comics. I like the mood those pages set between chapters.
