admonition : SPOILERS forBatman # 50
Batmanand Catwoman ’s wedding has finally arrived and the months ( if not years ) of build - up have ended in calamity . As was unfortunatelyspoiled beforeBatman # 50went on sales event , Catwoman go away Batman at the altar .
Catwoman explains to Batman ( in a letter , not face - to - face ) that the wedding we ’ve all been building to simply ca n’t pass off . If they were to get conjoin , Selina explains , Batman would be felicitous - and a happy Batman ca n’t do his job . While this is the totality of Catwoman ’s abstract thought , the whole Sojourner Truth of why the wedding party is called off is … a fiddling more complicated .

Being such a turning point issue , Batman#50 is set up in an interesting , if anticlimactical fashion . The ' veridical - sentence ' upshot are very slim - only a duet pages - as Catwoman and Batman fuddle out all their hymeneals design and basically adjudicate to run off on a Gotham rooftop with two witnesses .
The rest of Batman # 50 consisting of two letters that the couple writes to one another spilling out their secrets . Batman ’s missive role as his marital vows , evidence Catwoman how she makes him a better hero and man . Catwoman ’s varsity letter , however , is the break - up . Catwoman excuse that Batman and her love for him has changed her for the in effect , do her a hero .
And as a submarine , she has no selection but to give him and their love . Gotham needs a Batman , more than Catwoman require a Batman .
It ’s a disappointing effect , but one that has been set up as much as the wedding itself . Batman # 49had presented the same debate , fall from The Joker hop to“save ” Batman from happiness . The Joker connection is n’t just thematic , either . It may even hint at the future of the caped meliorist .
The terminal page ofBatman # 50reveals that although Catwoman made the determination to leave Bruce out of her own free will , she was urged into it by her immure champion Holly Robinson . Holly , meanwhile , has made some fresh acquittances while inside Arkham Asylum . After Selina leaves Bruce , she dumps Holly back in prison where Holly visits a secret villainous camarilla created by Bane .
Holly enjoin Bane that everything hold up according to plan and that Bat has been come apart … again . Bane is n’t alone in hearing the news of the break - up , as a whole group of villains has been gathered to discover about Batman ’s misery , including Riddler , Hugo Strange and even The Joker .
The marriage ceremony might be the final stage of Catwoman and Batman ’s romance ( for now ) but it ’s apparently the scratch of a whole unexampled sovereignty of terror forBatman . This is n’t inevitably a warrant that Catwoman and Batman will end up back together . But it does provide some hope that there ’s more to the wedding ’s tragical end than just lump more misery onto Bruce Wayne ’s life .
Tom King’sBatmanhas been consistent about showing a happy or at least more content Dark Knight . The decision to have Catwoman impart , even if it has been teased in previous issues , does seem like a perfidy of King ’s Batman ethos so far . However , if the wedding party ’s remnant is a part of some larger villainous plot of ground it might have a more positive end . Holly , Selina ’s best friend , working with Bane even paint a picture that Catwoman is just as much a dupe of Bane ’s dodge as Batman .
The only genuine argument against Batman and Catwoman getting back together is that the wedding and break - up happens in issue 50 . DC has made a very crowing deal about the turning point emergence being the classical goal to Catwoman and Batman ’s appointment . To reverse Catwoman getting stale metrical foot might feel even more anticlimactic than the event itself .
Catwoman and the shock that her relationship had on Batman likely is n’t going anywhere but it might be a very long time , if the two are ever romantically involved again .
