Batman/Catwoman #3 – 2021 continues the haunting and emotionally layered saga penned by Tom King, weaving between timelines to explore love, legacy, and moral ambiguity. This limited series stands apart from traditional Gotham stories, pushing the boundaries of what a superhero comic can be—less about capes and crime-fighting, and more about memory, identity, and consequence.
In this third issue, Selina Kyle becomes increasingly central as both lover and fighter—moving through the present, past, and future with a purpose as mysterious as it is deeply personal. Bruce Wayne’s presence lingers in every timeline, even as the events shift focus to the chilling re-emergence of The Phantasm—a spectral figure from the Batman: Mask of the Phantasm animated film, now reimagined for the comic continuity.
Tom King’s storytelling remains sophisticated and nuanced, requiring readers to pay close attention as each timeline reveals new facets of the characters' complex relationship. It’s a narrative full of emotional weight, where quiet conversations carry as much power as rooftop battles. The dialogue is sparse yet meaningful, with every word loaded with subtext—particularly in the scenes between Bruce and Selina, whose love story is told across decades.
The visuals from Clay Mann are absolutely stunning. His cinematic layouts, clean linework, and expressive character art elevate the emotional impact of every page. From the shadows of Gotham to the glow of Christmas lights, each panel is rendered with meticulous care. Paired with Tomeu Morey’s rich, moody colours, the result is a visually lush and atmospheric experience that mirrors the dark romance and moral ambiguity of the script.
This issue deepens the ongoing mystery surrounding Andrea Beaumont (The Phantasm) and her role in the present-day killings. Is she seeking justice, vengeance, or something more complex? As the truth unfolds, Selina finds herself torn between past allegiances and future choices that may reshape her legacy forever.
