Here is the solicitation for Batman Annual #2, out this week. By Tom King and Michael Lark, it tells the story of the first days of Batman and Catwoman, decades before he would ask for her hand in marriage and she would accept.
BATMAN ANNUAL #2
(W) Tom King (A) Michael Lark (A/CA) Lee Weeks
Travel back in time with us to see the early days of the Bat and the Cat. What was Bruce and Selina's first date? How did this rivalry blossom into romance, and then go right back to being a rivalry again? Tom King reteams with his BATMAN/ELMER FUDD collaborator Lee Weeks to show us a little young love with capes and cowls. And a little crimefighting, too.
In Shops: Nov 29, 2017
SRP: $4.99
Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you last week that the comic in question has already sold out of its stock at Diamond Comic Distributors and gone to second print, looking like this:
And it sold out well before the hype was building… and is continuing to build. The official advice is that if you want a copy, you might want to order it in advance.
As it comes together Batman Annual 2's starting to look like something special. Wanted to give you a heads up as annuals are easy to ignore.

Got my review copy of it last week so I've been holding off, but Batman Annual #2 sure is something. Goes places you might not expect.

There's something about @TomKingTK and Lee Weeks @Inkdropinc together on a book that produces magic. No spoilers, but Batman Annual 2 – out this week – is amazing. One of the issues of the year for me 🔥❤️👏👏

After catching up with the regular Batman series and reading (the amazing) Annual #2, now of the opinion that Tom King marries Moore's formalism with Morrison's sentimentality.
