Writer Tom King recently teased some of the themes prevalent throughout the upcoming DC comic book series, Batman/Catwoman.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, King revealed that, unlike past comics such as The Vision and Mister Miracle, his highly anticipated 12-issue miniseries will not be about love. Batman/Catwoman will primarily delve into the darker emotions of its central characters. He stated, "It's about being a good person and a bad person at the same time. It's about the deep anger inside of you and how you deal with that, and how it affects you and those around you. That's in Catwoman, Phantasm, and Batman," King said. "This is a very heavy book. It's about death and life and love, but I've never been happier writing."
Batman/Catwoman is said to explore the complex relationship between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle throughout their shared past, present and possible future. Andrea Beaumont, a.k.a. Phantasm is said to play a pivotal roll in the present-set storyline.
Phantasm's appearance is a notable addition to King's narrative as her arrival marks the character's introduction into DC's primary comic book universe following her debut in the 1993 animated film, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
Batman/Catwoman #1, by Tom King and Clay Mann, goes on sale Dec. 1 from DC.
