    • Batman (Bruce Wayne) proposal to Catwoman (Seline Kyle) in Batman #24 “may be a true, honest thing,” or a coping mechanism for “covering up the pain with a new layer of insanity.”
    • Batman #32 will feature Catwoman’s answer to Batman’s proposal.
    • A few of Bruce Wayne’s ex-girfriends will pop during the marriage proposal storyline.
