I think > Jim answers the question in Not Allowed To Love. > Jim describes the interesting origin he added to the mythos (David Ives would have helped, maybe?) in which Selina Kyle (Catwoman) saw the murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne. She was just a kid, hiding in the shadows, when Joker (Jim's version claims it is Joker and not Joe Chill) ambushed them and Bruce, their eight-year-old son, in Crime Alley. Of course, he and his henchmen shoot the parents and leave Bruce standing. This not only scars his psyche but Selina's who has been watching the whole time. The incident forges the vengeful crusader, Batman, from the child Bruce Wayne and the villainous Catwoman from Selina Kyle. It's not entirely impossible that a dark romance would form between them. In the comics, and in the film "Batman Returns", Batman and Catwoman eventually have a love interest. In the film, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle date without knowing who their alter-ego's are. I still prefer the movie version of Catwoman's origins, because Selina goes crazy at the hands of society, but her origin in the comics is amnesia after a plane crash. | |
