Are Catwoman And Red Hood Hooking Up In Gotham War? (Spoilers)

The Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War Prelude is meant to be in comic book stores for Batman Day, Saturday the 16th of September....

Now, I don't know how to look at this. You be the judge. You tell me. But the Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War Prelude, which is meant to be in comic book stores for Batman Day, Saturday the 16th of September, actually came to US comic book stores about ten days ago. And many have been giving them away or selling them on eBay. Here's one store that sold all twenty-five that way. The Prelude sets up Gotham War, and runs some previous pages that set up Gotham War with Zur-En-Arr sparring. But also sets up what we saw in an earlier issue of Batman, that The Riddler is going to aid Batman, it seems, or at least go against the other Batman villains who are teaming up against the new Catwoman status quo of the Gotham War…

But Catwoman's plans depends on her allies and while she has most of the Batman crew on her side, save for Damian Wayne – and Batman himself, of course, Red Hood seemed keener than anyone else to join her side, and the earlier issue certainly seemed to show him under her heel…

And there was this preview image as well…

And now Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War Prelude suggests something more may be up there…

Unless I am reading far more into it than is actually there, I suppose. I mean this sort of thing worked out last time, right? Right? At least Jason Todd is not trying it on with Barbara Gordon any more. But how will readers – and Batman – react to Selina Kyle and Jason Todd getting together??
