While Catwoman called off her impending wedding to Bruce Wayne to ensure that he would keep on being Batman, she also inadvertently played into Bane's plans to break Batman's spirit. Since this upcoming issue apparently marks the beginning of the end of King's lengthy run, it could giveSelina and Bruce another chance at a happy ending together.
King also teased that the issue will be the first part of a major event while also serving as "an essential part of the culmination of DCU stories." Previously, King teased that Batman #75 was "a huge Bat event with a secret name that sets us up for the end at [Batman #]105."
