The One Opponent Batman Couldn't Defeat [Batman Annual #2 Spoilers]

Published Wed, 29 Nov 2017 14:30:35 -0600

The following contains final page spoilers for Batman Annual #2 out today. And it may be one of the reasons it has become a sudden collectable. It tells the story of Batman and Catwoman, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, from their almost-earliest contretemps, while keeping exactly when they first met as a point of contention, through to the far future as an old married couple. And a couple receiving news…

The C-Word isn't mentioned, but it affects his lungs. He talks about a mentor who smoked, and we are left to draw conclusions. But this is the DC Universe — aren't there things you can do?

It seems not. No Magic, no Lazarus Pits, nothing. But we do have Helena Wayne, Huntress, the daughter of Batman and Catwoman in other continuities, now here as Batwoman, to give the bad news.

But death is the ultimate trap. And doesn't Batman have a way to cheat? It seems not…But surrounded by his family, his friends, his loved ones. The man who defeated all his enemies, brought down by the one thing he couldn't defeat.

The only thing left, is the last word…
