Catwoman #32
In "Only Takes a Night," Catwoman breaks from the costume long enough to ask Batman on a real date, stepping away from the shadows for a night of dinner and a show. As Bruce and Selina share a rare moment of normalcy, tensions simmer beneath the surface—Slam confronts his son about his role in Catwoman’s operations, while Holly’s unexpected visit to Selina’s apartment hints at a secret identity in motion. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Sean Phillips, with inks by Stefano Gaudiano and colors by Laurie Kronenberg, this issue captures a quiet, charged moment in the lives of two iconic figures. The cover, by Paul Gulacy and Jimmy Palmiotti, perfectly frames the duality of the story’s mood.
