Batman #85 – and the Marriage Of Batman and Catwoman (Spoilers)

Tom King has said that his run on Batman was the story of Batman and Catwoman. The halfway point was marked by their wedding – or rather a lack of it. Selina Kyle was persuaded against it by her best friend, Holly Robinson, being manipulated by Bane and the Psycho Pirate, as a way to break Bruce Wayne. It kinda worked. But with Bane gone and Thomas Wayne dealt with in Batman #85, what now for Bruce and Selina? They have a Batman/Catwoman spinoff series that will continue and conclude Tom King's Batman story away from the main book, drawn by Clay Mann possibly starting in April. But will you have to wait that long for the marriage issue to be revisited and resolved?

No. Today's Batman #85 by Tom King, Mikel Janin and friends, recalls the wedding that wasn't.

And in Batman #85 wonders if that drunkard judge is still available.

Could it be?

No. But here's the thing. It may have been official, but it would not have been a legal ceremony anyway. Top many secret identities to hold.

From here on in, to all intents and purposes, Batman and Catwoman, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, are married. They just don't need a piece of paper to say so. And that is both Tom King's present to Batman fans – and a reason to pick up Batman/Catwoman in (probably) April to see where he goes with it…
