As paying attention and emotionally satisfying as writer Tom King ’s recent run on Batman has been , one of the major drawback is that every time something even remotely undecomposed materialise to someone , you know it wo n’t be long until some sort of twist of fate snatches their happiness forth .
Despite the havoc and foolishness that ’s observe them asunder from one another for so many years , Batman finally found the nerve to be open with Catwoman about his feelings for her and pop the braggart question . After meditate over whether she really want to descend down and commit to a man known for snatching up orphaned street children ( it ’s true ) , Selina ultimately settle she would n’t mind strolling down the gangway with Bruce .
But before the felicitous match say their “ I dos , ” King ’s been taking a moment to remind us all just who Batman is with a couple of story about the other interpersonal relationships with those closest to him . We ’ve seenBatman and Catwoman on a treble date with Superman and Lois Laneand been reminded how Bruce is still sputter to make do with the destruction of his parent . But in this week ’s outlet # 39 , Batman finds Bruce Wayne confronted with a different kind of war on immorality , one he ’s never had to confront before .
There are few hoi polloi in the earthly concern who Jim Gordon will grant to launch the GCPD ’s Bat signal and when the machine on the spur of the moment turns on without his authorization , the police commissioner rushes to the rooftop ready to shoot whoever is up there . Wonder Woman being Wonder Woman , she is n’t at all phased when Gordon and his fellow officers confusedly discover that she ’s the one who flipped on the Bat - shift and calmly explains that she ’s in need of Batman ’s assistance with an otherworldly publication that Superman is n’t peculiarly cut out for .
As Batman appears out of nowhere ( of course of action ) , Wonder Woman explains that the time has come for she and her fellow Justice Leaguer to make good on a promise they once made to the Gentle Man , a warrior trapped in a property beyond their own . For thousands of years , the Gentle Man has waged an endless war against abominable hordes of demons attempting to make their way of life across the proportion even though there ’s no way for them to cross . Once in their past , Batman and Wonder Woman unexpectedly slipped into the Gentle Man ’s attribute and fight alongside him , promising to one day return and grant him an chance to rest for at least a twenty-four hours by convey his place as the dimension ’s guardian warriors .
Wonder Woman explains that due to the magical nature of the dimension , ace power are all but useless there , meaning that Superman ( who is n’t particularly known for his fight skills ) is sitting this risky venture out . With Catwoman ’s benediction and promise to chaperone the Gentle Man when he scotch over into their humans , Batman and Wonder Woman set out into the hellish war proportion and dive headlong into the kind of battle that only the two of them could flourish in .
Though they ’re fight back an endless war to the death , Bruce and Diana are in their constituent , relying only on their own brainpower , acquisition , and determination to outride alive . They are , in a very existent common sense , a dynamic duo of brawlers whose combined might is more than enough to drive back dozens of opponents before they ’re finally able-bodied to make their relief valve to recoup .
Back in Gotham , as Catwoman assist the Gentle Man aline to being back in a more peaceful world , her familiar surprise her by revealing that he ’s actually from their world and , as well as he can tell apart , he ’s only been missing for about a year . clock time , the Gentle Man explain , flow differently in the other proportion , mean that the few hours he ’s spend back in Gotham has been old age for Batman and Wonder Woman . Though they wo n’t have aged , they will have experienced the meter all the same and Batman # 39 close by leaning intemperately on the implications of Diana and Bruce ’s time aside .
For them , at least a decade has past and in that time , their Leslie Townes Hope that the Gentle Man would add up back to relieve them of their burden have fleet . Fighting the horde of demons is all Bruce and Diana know and all they have salvage for one another . Diana knows it , Bruce knows it , and after campaign for so long , it appears as if the two are finally quick to hold to something that billion of shippers have been hoping for for decades .
An optimistic interpretation of Batman # 39 might forget you disposed to sham that Bruce and Diana ’s osculation is just a cheeky cliffhanger that ’ll be resolve in the next exit when a random ogre pops up , interrupts the minute , and remind the two that they in all likelihood should n’t be making out .
But for all you pessimists out there , this could easily be interpreted as the candy kiss that ultimately ruins Batman ’s engagement because if there ’s one thing you could be sure of , it ’s that Catwoman ’s travel to find out about this .
