Some thoughts about Batman #14

What happened between the Bat and the Cat?

Batman is trying to prove Catwoman's innocense but first he would have to learn what her true intentions are.

Well, this issue wasn't really terrible for a change.

Tom King offers a little story between Batman and Catwoman and is pretty on-point for the most part. Sure, there's still the problem with King's dialogue which is pretty awkward at times with the constant mentions of "Bat" and "Cat" (which doesn't make much sense if they want to protect their secret identities since everyone knows Catwoman is Selina), not to mention that once that you knows how King's works, you can't but start noting a really predictable and forced pattern all the lines have.

On the other hand, I did enjoy how the romance between the two of them was depicted (or at least the idea behind it), about how much they care about each other and obviously how attracted they are to each other (which is a classic theme between them). The inclusion of the most ridiculous villains from Batman's gallery was appreciated as well.

Mitch Gerards handles the artwork and is pretty good looking with a really vibrant tone that is odd for the book but is still quite on-point in terms of storytelling.

Not bad, it still has the typical flaws but at least this time they're tolerable.
