**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** The gift: This arc takes place elsewhere, Dick Grayson plays Batman and Duke Thomas seems to be invalid, Booster Gold will try to help our Batman.

The Best Man: The Joker will manipulate Batman so he will fall asleep, in the second part of the arc, it's Selina's turn to face the Joker.

The wedding may be a little bit different than the expected, I was waiting for some crazy stuff but it is a lot different than that, basically is a card written by Bruce and Selina, it ain't bad but I thought different, it's pretty much an example of their love, at the end of the day she abandon Batman because if Bruce is happy there will no longer be a Batman, all of this was a plan made by Batman's greatest foes and supported by Holly Robinson.

The Bat and the Cat story arc has had some really decent moments. This volume kinda ruined them all...

Things I liked:

1. The conversation between Catwoman and the Joker as they both try not to bleed out.

They were pretty hilarious. Sometimes it's easy to forget that these characters have relationships with each other and not just Batman.

2. The montage of the history of Batman and Catwoman's relationship.

It was fun to see the art and key moments of their relationship over the decades.

Things I didn't like:

1. Booster Gold.

I have never liked Booster Gold and I'm not sure why he keeps popping up. He tends to have the same plot in everything that I've ever seen him in.

2. The ending.

Spoiler

I'm super mad about this. I thought we were finally going to head in a new direction for Batman, where he doesn't have to be the brooding loner with broken relationships. But, no. Batman can't be the hero the world needs him to be if he's happy.

I went in expecting to hate it because of SPOILERS and finished it just vaguely disappointed instead. I guess that's an improvement? Honestly, the only thing that saves this volume for me is

Spoiler

the reveal that breaking Selina and Bruce up is a villain plot, which hopefully means it'll be fixed by the end of King's run

. Spoilers aside, this volume is just kind of a mess. There's an entire section that's less a story and more a series of artists doing Selina/Bruce pinups with words printed on the art. The Booster Gold story is really unpleasant and not just because it's a Booster Gold story.

The Booster Gold story didn't do it for me and I'm not sure I really bought the ending but 'The Best Man' story absolutely ruled

Without a doubt one of my favourite comic cliffhangers.

It was a nice read, different Batman artists from classic to modern. Love in the dark.
