SUMMARY:
Entitled “Only Takes a Night,” DC Comics released this issue for August 2004. Having returned the night before, Selina Kyle’s inner circle is relieved that her apparent demise was really a month-long absence from Gotham City. While girlfriends Holly and Karon make amends, Slam Bradley reaches out to his estranged son. From his policeman son’s tip, Slam is suspicious of who has been impersonating Catwoman for the past several days.
Amidst their poignant reunion in costume, Catwoman convince Batman to forego secret identities in exchange for a romantic date night on the town. Encouraging her friend’s privacy with Bruce Wayne, Holly diverts Slam, whose own feelings for Selina have been revived. Come much later that evening, a weary Selina feels good being home again.
REVIEW:
For fans of Selina-and-Bruce’s on-and-off romance, Catwoman # 32 is most definitely on. Ed Brubaker’s well-played scripting is equaled by the art squad’s high-caliber visuals. If anything, witnessing Batman imply who the love of his life is proves worth the price of admission. Catwoman # 32, suffice to say, is a romantic gem worth re-discovery.
