Instead of being a temptation to Batman, as I am most accustomed, Selena Kyle- aka- Catwoman, enthralls Batwing, who is supposed to be keeping Gotham City safe while Batman is away.

However, I wasn’t familiar with Batwing, so this book was my first introduction to him. Her partners in crime are also interesting, adding even more angles to explore. That alone scores a few automatic points. However, this book really downplays that angle-thank goodness, and gives us a complex character and offers a valid reason for her chosen path. Of course, since the campy television series, Catwoman has been highly sexualized, outfitted in a skin- tight leather outfit. She isn’t a goody-goody, but she isn’t evil either. It is a text only story, but I read it to gather more insight into the characters featured in the comics. To be clear, this is not a graphic novel. This series is, for young readers, I presume, but I thought it was pretty awesome. But, as some of you know, I recently developed an interest in comics and graphic novels, but there are so many stories surrounding the iconic DC comic characters it is hard to know here to begin.īut, this series, which at the time of this writing, as four installments- Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Catwoman, tells a story about the origins of these iconic DC comic characters. In fact, when I checked the book out at the library, I didn’t even check to see who wrote the book- nor did I notice ‘for young readers’ tag line. I do hope to someday visit that series, even though I’m not a huge YA fan, but the reason I chose this book had little to do with the author, and more to do with subject – Catwoman. I’ve seen this author’s name on Goodreads a lot and apparently her fantasy series is really something. This Catwoman may be Batwing's undoing.Ĭatwoman: Soul Stealer (DC icons #3) by Sarah J.
