The Rundown: Catwoman and her team try to rescue Batman from being hanged.
Batman is brought to the gallows and Catwoman is captured by the Orghams. Unfortunately, they underestimated Selina and her plan. While they all believed that Catwoman and her team were planning a rescue, Selina was doing what she does best, organizing a heist. A heist where the prize is the Batman himself.
As allies arrive and others betray, Selina’s plan takes some interesting and unexpected twists and turns that could still mean trouble for Gotham and its heroes.
The Story: A thrilling, entertaining and suspense filled adventure from Ram V. I love the dark tone of the story and the twist that is revealed within the story. There are some fantastic moments for the characters and everything comes together in ways that not only keep the door open for more stories from this threat, but also leaves an interesting new dynamic for Batman going forward.
The Art: Alexander and Sharp deliver some beautifully dark, moody and intense art that perfectly captures the dark, moody atmosphere and tone of the story.
