Ahead of
Batman #32 going on sale this Wednesday, DC Comics has revealed to
USA Today that Selina Kyle says "yes" to Bruce Wayne's marriage proposal. They've kept us waiting for the answer for what feels like forever and this is clearly going to shake the Caped Crusader's status quo up in a big way moving forward. After all, we're used to seeing Batman romance any number of women in the comics!
"That to me is what true love is," Batman writer Tom King says of the dynamic between the two after the hero confesses to Catwoman that he nearly killed The Riddler before being stopped from doing so by his enemy The Joker.
"It’s showing who you truly are to someone. It’s letting someone know deep down who you are and that’s horribly frightening and it scares Batman as much as anything ever has. They’re two broken people, and because they’re broken, they have the edges that fit together."
"Some people are going to think, ‘Oh, my gosh, he’s gone insane, we need to fix him.’ And others will go, ‘He’s gone sane. We finally have a Batman we’ve been looking for,’" he continues. "Most superheroes, you make them happy and you end conflict - you give Spider-Man a wife and where do you go from there? But Batman’s the opposite: You give him happiness and you create conflict, because he’s fundamentally a sad character." How do you guys feel about this development?
