planted at the altar
One of the most difficult relationships in the entire DC Universe is that of Batman and Catwoman, who have acted on opposite sides of the law, and despite this, their physical attraction led them to take this romance to the next level, where both were determined in saying yes at the altar.
After a stage where both passed several tests, on the expected day Selina Kyle makes the decision to leave Bruce in a special ceremony that they prepared on top of a building. This event brought writer Tom King some heartache.

The obvious age difference plays a trick on the old Batman, who receives a beating at the hands of the leader of the mutants, who is younger, which he takes advantage of in strength and speed to accommodate a good knife to the Dark Knight, who is saved by Carrie Kelly, who bills herself as her partner Robin.
Defend the Joker
