Have you ever seen Batman kissing Catwoman? The relationship between the two has a long history in comics. Batman and Catwoman had a daughter together, the Huntress. They were even married. So seeing Batman and Catwoman kissing should be no surprise. However, there is one story in particular that is worth mentioning where this happens.
The story is Batman: Hush. Batman and Catwoman flirting isn’t nothing new. However, in this story Catwoman takes it to a whole new level. Catwoman (Selena) offers Batman a passionate kiss as a thank you. After the two of them kiss, Batman (Bruce) cannot stop thinking about it. He becomes obsessed. Are Batman and Catwoman in love? Probably. But Selena makes it clear that she is in charge, as she always does.
One of the interesting aspects of this story is that Bruce trusts Selena so much that he decides to reveal his secret identity to her. This is due to his butler Alfred confronting him on his trust issues. How will he evolve emotionally if he cannot allow a person into both his personal and private life?
Batman: Hush is a great graphic novel. First off, this comic is drawn by the outstanding comic illustrator Jim Lee. If you don’t know who he is, just know that his art is always crisp and entertaining. In addition, a lot happens in the novel. Like Batman fighting Superman. Yes, really. There is also an interesting twist involving his former sidekick.
If you are a comic fan and don’t want to read Batman: Hush, then something is wrong with you. It has so much going for it that it’s not even worth explaining. So start reading that and stop reading this. Just one word of warning though. The graphic novel version seems to have made a faux-pas by putting a critical image down the center of the page, a no-no publication and design. Unfortunately this happens to be one of the kissing scenes between Batman and Catwoman. Read it anyway!
Their Ironic Relationship
The world of superheroes is filled with dynamic and complex characters, each with their own set of unique qualities and traits. Among the many iconic figures in the comic book universe, two stand out for their contrasting personalities – Batman and Catwoman. Both known for their crime-fighting abilities and their love-hate relationship, these two make for an intriguing and ironic couple.
Batman had a distressing childhood that made him become a creature that never breaks his moral code and has a deep sense of justice to root out all evil from his own city. He is an expert detective, a master warrior, and tech-savvy, which makes him one of the most superheroes in the DC universe. Nonetheless, this intense loyalty to his mission typically creates coldness and aloofness in him, with a stony exterior that even keeps those closest to him at arm’s length.
Now, on the other hand, we have Catwoman, the sly thief with a conscience. Selina Kyle, also called Catwoman, is an accomplished burglar and a master of close-quarters combat. She possesses wit and intellect that make her as good as or even better than Batman in terms of her fighting skills. Nevertheless, unlike The Dark Knight, Catwoman functions within the boundaries of moral ambiguity that often serve her personal benefits rather than anyone else’s welfare. Regardless of her criminal inclinations, she is sympathetic towards disadvantaged individuals and often uses her riches and possessions to assist them when they are in need.
Batman and Catwoman are such a unique and fascinating pair because of the contradictory characters that they are. Despite both aiming at combating crime, each has his or her own distinctive strategies and convictions. Catwoman considers Batman as a hard nut and an impenetrable barrier imposed on her by the system of laws, limiting her capacity for real change in society.
The dissimilarities can even be found in their own lives. Batman, with his secret life as a rich man, Bruce Wayne, has a life that is filled with lavishness and fancy things. On the other hand, Catwoman has a rough past and has to hide from society, living on its fringes, constantly eluding danger. In spite of these differences, there is an attraction that cannot be denied between the two, which brings about a difficult and frequently chaotic connection.
