Summary

In a world without Batman。。。will Selina Kyle's old wounds tear Gotham City apart？ Cliff Chiang writes and illustrates the ultimate Catwoman masterpiece！

Ten years ago， the massacre known as Fools' Night claimed the lives of Batman， the Joker， Nightwing， and Commissioner Gordon。。。and sent Selina Kyle， the Catwoman， to prison。

A decade later， Gotham has grown up--it's put away costumed heroism and villainy as childish things。 The new Gotham is cleaner， safer。。。and a lot less free， under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops。 It's into this new city that Selina Kyle returns， a changed woman。。。with her mind on that one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave！ She doesn't need the money--she just needs to know。。。who is "Orpheus"？

Visionary creator Cliff Chiang （Wonder Woman， Paper Girls） writes， draws， colors， and letters the story of a world without Batman， where one woman's wounds threaten to tear apart an entire city！ It's an unmissable artistic statement that will change the way you see Gotham's heroes and villains forever！

This volume collects Catwoman: Lonely City #1-4。

Inexplicably good。

Love the artwork and loved seeing them 10 yrs later after Fools Night even more。

This was so good！ I loved the little Easter eggs and how Gotham might fare without its caped crusader。 The art is absolutely beautiful and I really loved the character designs。 :））This book includes LGBT rep， disability rep， and characters of color ！！！ :D happy reading ！ 💜

Five stars is maybe a little strong but Cliff Chiang’s work here should be a gold standard moving forward。 Great art， great story。 It recalls Grant Morrison’s Batman run in that it seems to draw from and evoke every era of Batman。 But instead of Morrison’s complicated mythos， Chiang opts for a pared down Soderbergh-esque heist story that’s equal parts Ocean’s 11 and Out of Sight。 A lot of stuff here would be corny in just about anyone else’s hands but Chiang pulls it off， even an extended ‘cameo Five stars is maybe a little strong but Cliff Chiang’s work here should be a gold standard moving forward。 Great art， great story。 It recalls Grant Morrison’s Batman run in that it seems to draw from and evoke every era of Batman。 But instead of Morrison’s complicated mythos， Chiang opts for a pared down Soderbergh-esque heist story that’s equal parts Ocean’s 11 and Out of Sight。 A lot of stuff here would be corny in just about anyone else’s hands but Chiang pulls it off， even an extended ‘cameo’ from OG Ma， an irl elderly Supreme reseller in New York。 This book is extremely my shit。 。。。more

Up there with HUSH as far as favorite Batverse comics。 Cliff's artwork is beautiful as ever and his writing is excellent too。 I didn't expect the pairing but I'm not mad about it。 And I'm a sucker for getting the gang back together。 The flashbacks were fantastic。 Up there with HUSH as far as favorite Batverse comics。 Cliff's artwork is beautiful as ever and his writing is excellent too。 I didn't expect the pairing but I'm not mad about it。 And I'm a sucker for getting the gang back together。 The flashbacks were fantastic。 。。。more

Another fantastic release by DC Black Label！ This time we see an alternate future of Gotham City where Batman， Joker， and Gordon all died on a night referred to as "Fool's Night"， and Selena Kyle went to jail for it all。 Getting released many years later， Catwoman， now older， must live in a Gotham practically without crime， under Mayor Harvey Dent （reformed after his Two-Face stuff）。 Bruce's final words still haunt her， and she thinks the key to "Orpheus" might be in the Batcave， which has been Another fantastic release by DC Black Label！ This time we see an alternate future of Gotham City where Batman， Joker， and Gordon all died on a night referred to as "Fool's Night"， and Selena Kyle went to jail for it all。 Getting released many years later， Catwoman， now older， must live in a Gotham practically without crime， under Mayor Harvey Dent （reformed after his Two-Face stuff）。 Bruce's final words still haunt her， and she thinks the key to "Orpheus" might be in the Batcave， which has been inpenetrable since Batman's death。 Teaming up with Killer Croc， Poison Ivy， the Riddler， and others， Catwoman seeks to give meaning to Bruce's death AND get those who were really responsible for all of it。The art and story here blended so well together。 Always fun to see something so fun and off the normal path。Recommend。 。。。more

Maybe it's because I am at a point in my life where the AARP markets its membership benefits to me， but I have developed a penchant for stories about favorite superheros from my teenage and college years grown up and old。 My favorite book so far is Spider-Man:Regin。 I haven't read the books but I've seen the movie adaptations for Old Man Logan and The Dark Knight Returns。 I enjoyed those stories too but haven't read the books， so unsure whether I should include them。 "Catwoman: Lonely City" is t Maybe it's because I am at a point in my life where the AARP markets its membership benefits to me， but I have developed a penchant for stories about favorite superheros from my teenage and college years grown up and old。 My favorite book so far is Spider-Man:Regin。 I haven't read the books but I've seen the movie adaptations for Old Man Logan and The Dark Knight Returns。 I enjoyed those stories too but haven't read the books， so unsure whether I should include them。 "Catwoman: Lonely City" is the story of a Gotham City that knows Batman's secret identity。 They found out when he was killed in an explosion。 Catwoman， who was working wtih Batman when he was killed， was arrested。 The story picks up on her release 10 years later。 She is on a mission to make sense of a cryptic message Batman whispered to her。In addition to being a book about the challenges aging has presented Catwoman， the book is also a good detective novel。 Selina Kyle needs to solve for "Orpheus。" Near the end， it presents a surprising reveal that I felt should have lasted a little longer when I read it。 。。。more

It's interesting to read a comic book where the characters， now in midlife， question whether their earlier， flashier vigilanty lifestyles were worth it。 In a very revealing comment， a wheelchair-bound Batgirl states that dispite all of Batman's personal efforts masked， it was Bruce Wayne's fortune bequeathed to the city that made the largest difference to reducing crime。 Although the ending of the book lands on a different note - that some vigilantiasm is still required to keep the police accoun It's interesting to read a comic book where the characters， now in midlife， question whether their earlier， flashier vigilanty lifestyles were worth it。 In a very revealing comment， a wheelchair-bound Batgirl states that dispite all of Batman's personal efforts masked， it was Bruce Wayne's fortune bequeathed to the city that made the largest difference to reducing crime。 Although the ending of the book lands on a different note - that some vigilantiasm is still required to keep the police accountable （also represented by protesting crowds） because it is still a comic book set in Gotham。 Someone still has to do some sneaking around， blowing stuff up， jumping off buildings， and punching bad guys。 It's an expectation， but I liked the introspection on violence sprinkled throughout。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 In comics， it seems that any quality artist can get a book published regardless of their， more often than not， lack of writing ability because they can at least draw real good and that’s the main sticking point with publishers as big as DC。 That’s the only explanation for the countless books I see both written and drawn by great artists who can’t write a coherent comic to save their lives。 Case in point: Cliff Chiang’s Catwoman: Lonely City， which is a complete mess， story-wise， but， hey， it loo In comics， it seems that any quality artist can get a book published regardless of their， more often than not， lack of writing ability because they can at least draw real good and that’s the main sticking point with publishers as big as DC。 That’s the only explanation for the countless books I see both written and drawn by great artists who can’t write a coherent comic to save their lives。 Case in point: Cliff Chiang’s Catwoman: Lonely City， which is a complete mess， story-wise， but， hey， it looks great！ That’s enough， right… ？ Nope！ Selina’s in her 50s and has been released from Blackgate Prison after serving a ten year sentence。 She returns to a Gotham drastically changed: Harvey Dent has conquered his evil Two-Face persona to inexplicably become an authoritarian mayor with Batcops patrolling everywhere。 Batman is dead， along with Alfred and Dick， and masks in general are outlawed （unless they’re Batcops）。 Dent is running for re-election against Babs Gordon。 And Selina is going to try to break into the Batcave to find out the secret of “Orpheus”， Bruce’s puzzling last words to Selina before he died。 Here’s the biggest problem with the book: at no point is it ever clear what Selina’s trying to do or why。 I’ll just cut straight to the climax of the story to highlight this: “Orpheus” is a compound that Bruce created that mixes the Lazarus Pit chemicals with Venom to create a magical resurrection potion that gives the resurrected person temporary superpowers - for a single week only。 And then they dies！ Bruce wanted Selina to resurrect him so that he could come back for a week to… do what？ How many decades has Batman been waging war on crime in Gotham - what’s a single week going to do？！ Selina’s decision not to do this is meant to be a powerful moment - except we don’t discover what the whole point of it was until the very end， right before she makes that decision， so there’s no build-up or drama。 It’s simply a case of showing you something and then immediately taking it away。 Such incompetent storytelling。 Along the way， to pad out this unnecessarily overlong story， Selina steals a Green Lantern ring for no reason， one of the （way too many） supporting characters gets a prototype Halo-esque cat helmet that goes nowhere， and there’s a whole song and dance about stealing Clayface’s DNA from Arkham so Jason Blood can use it in one scene to pretend to be the new commissioner， even though it’s for just two Batcops and Selina and co。 could easily deal with them by themselves rather than try to convince them with a disguise - which doesn’t even work anyway so it’s a waste of time！ This is part of DC’s Black Label line which just means they print the swears uncensored and show a little blood because it definitely doesn’t stand for sophisticated adult writing。 The flashbacks to “Fool’s Night” （basically just another version of that stupid Joker War thing that ran in the main Batman title recently） were similarly baffling。 How does Batman die again？ Oh right， because he needed to for the story and conveniently hand Selina a special Batarang and murmur the mysterious word for contrivance’s sake。 Why didn’t Selina break out of Blackgate at any time of the ten years she was there？ Dent is unsurprisingly evil。 It’s unconvincing that a super authoritarian Dent would be a massive hit with voters （in case you weren’t sure which politician Dent is meant to be， he has a Steve Bannon-lookalike advisor called Steve）。 The politics is laughably simplistic - it’s fascism vs liberalism！ Gee， I wonder which side will win。 Why does the Batcave break-in have to tie in with election day？ And how is it nobody has been able to find the Batcave until Selina does - they have guards patrolling Wayne Manor’s grounds， so they clearly have an inkling of where it might be， and the grounds are finite， so maybe just excavate that area？ I mean， the entrance is this massive yawning chasm - they should find that pretty quick！ They wouldn’t need this immensely convoluted plan to have Selina serve a ten year prison sentence， allow her to steal the magic Batarang that would activate with her DNA and lead her to the Batcave proper。 Good lord… Speaking of unconvincing， Selina hooking up with Riddler？ Ugh。 And why does Riddler’s daughter Edie want to be Catwoman again？ Oh right， bad writing again。 Killer Croc is similarly rehabilitated to be extra cutesy in this one which was also eye-rollingly weak。 Why does everyone in Gotham suddenly wear cartoon cat masks to stand up to Dent？ And if there are so many， why does he think he’ll be re-elected when the electorate clearly hate him？ The problems are endless with this book。 Even the small moments here and there are convenient choices that further underline how bad the writing is。 Like when Selina puts the magic Batarang into the slot and then drops 40 feet - landing on her feet， not breaking her legs。 She’s an older woman with bad knees （which was established earlier） - that drop should’ve killed her！ How does Riddler know what time Batman’s parents were shot？ And Chiang demonstrates his familiarity with computers by having Selina make it to a screen on the Batcomputer that says “Sever all connections？” and a big red Return button - because it’s just that simple， kids， especially for computers as complex as Batman’s。 Nonsense - so much nonsense - aside， the comic is really boring to read。 I not only never knew what was happening or why， I just didn’t care。 It goes on and on and never accomplishes anything or shows you anything that even remotely entertains。 Cliff Chiang is a great artist but， like most great artists who try writing their own comics， he reveals himself to be a base amateur when it comes to putting together an even half-decent script。 This is why some creators write comics and others draw them， and rarely do the twain come together in one person well。 Catwoman: Lonely City is pretty to look at but it’s also a garbled， dull mish-mash of confusing rubbish from start to finish。 Definitely not worth the effort， guys。 。。。more

This is， in my opinion， one of the BEST stories about Gotham and a generation of heroes/villains ageing out of the crime and crime fighting they'd done in their youth。It isn't a dark， nihilistic 'Dark Knight Returns'。 It isn't completely a police state like we saw in the 'Future State' miniseries。 This Gotham is a work in progress and has a bunch of ties to problems we deal with in our real world。 Surveillance， income inequality， and the rise of the protest state are the real crisis that this fu This is， in my opinion， one of the BEST stories about Gotham and a generation of heroes/villains ageing out of the crime and crime fighting they'd done in their youth。It isn't a dark， nihilistic 'Dark Knight Returns'。 It isn't completely a police state like we saw in the 'Future State' miniseries。 This Gotham is a work in progress and has a bunch of ties to problems we deal with in our real world。 Surveillance， income inequality， and the rise of the protest state are the real crisis that this future Gotham is going through。 It definitely makes the story more relatable。 Who doesn't like to catch up with favorite characters as they age？ We get glimpses of the highs and lows they've experienced like we do。 We build relationships。 We have children。 We age and feel old age come closer than we like。 Its always fun to see our heroes and villains walk that path 'with' us。 ----------Cliff Chiang did some amazing work （EVERYTHING） in this miniseries。 It takes a lot to write， pencil， and letter your own comic。 The Black Label imprint does it again with a great 'Elseworlds' story。 This one should go down as one of the greats。Bonus: Future Gotham is only crime free because they're piggybacking Batman tech？Bonus Bonus: old Killer Croc with bad hips and a beer gut？ HA！ 。。。more

What a delight！ Absolutely stunning and you can tell the story was written by a Batman fan。 Love how the characters were developed and drawn。 Sad outcomes but a Gotham hopeful ending。

I hate the "Dark Knight Returns But" genre。 For one， not everything set in the future with a rugged old version of a character comes from that; post-apocalyptic and dystopian fantasy is baked into the superhero genre at this point， and DKR is just one example。 For another， DKR isn't just about a dark and gritty future Batman: it's about the authoritarian and fascist power fantasies of Frank Miller， fantasies he would continue to build throughout his career， and which should be examined criticall I hate the "Dark Knight Returns But" genre。 For one， not everything set in the future with a rugged old version of a character comes from that; post-apocalyptic and dystopian fantasy is baked into the superhero genre at this point， and DKR is just one example。 For another， DKR isn't just about a dark and gritty future Batman: it's about the authoritarian and fascist power fantasies of Frank Miller， fantasies he would continue to build throughout his career， and which should be examined critically， not reduced to an aesthetic。What does Cliff Chiang do about this？Catwoman: Lonely City is set in a dark future Gotham。 Batman and the family are dead， Harvey Dent has reconciled Two Face to his personality， allowing him to create a neoliberal， gentrified， 'tough on crime" police state that he rules with an iron fist， and Batman's old tech powers it。With that in mind， Catwoman putting the suit back on and springing into action isn't The Dark Knight Returns with Catwoman: it's about Catwoman fighting against the world Miller fantasizes about in his work。 A far more compelling concept。 Of course， it helps that the book is visually stunning， and has both new and old characters that are instantly compelling。 One of the best "Elseworlds" books in years， and yes， no matter how many times DC changes the branding， that is what I will call them。 。。。more

Catwoman: Lonely City is incredible。 Cliff Chiang wrote， illustrated， coloured and lettered all four issues by himself and all his efforts come together so seamlessly to create this unique story。 This series is set ten years after a massacre known as Fools’ Night claimed the lives of Batman， Nightwing， Commissioner Gordon and the Joker。 Mayor Harvey Dent has cleaned up Gotham， which is no longer a home to vigilantes or villains。 Selina Kyle， now 55 years old， has just been released after a decad Catwoman: Lonely City is incredible。 Cliff Chiang wrote， illustrated， coloured and lettered all four issues by himself and all his efforts come together so seamlessly to create this unique story。 This series is set ten years after a massacre known as Fools’ Night claimed the lives of Batman， Nightwing， Commissioner Gordon and the Joker。 Mayor Harvey Dent has cleaned up Gotham， which is no longer a home to vigilantes or villains。 Selina Kyle， now 55 years old， has just been released after a decade in prison and she is still haunted by the events of that night ten years ago。 Batman’s last words to her hint at a secret hidden inside the Batcave， so she decides to pull off one last heist to uncover it。 Everything about this series is excellent。 The pacing is perfect， the artwork is gorgeous， the story is real， and the writing is solid。 There’s also something comforting about this story—about seeing characters I’ve spent half my life with grow up and move on while also keeping the most fundamental parts of themselves whole。 It was truly a delightful surprise each time a BatFamily character or villain showed up， and I was excited to see some of my favourites included。 The way each character evolved was fitting， and it was fun to see how they had changed。 It's rare for superhero comics to show characters age like this， and it was great to read a story about an aging hero and all of the hardships that come with it。 I love this series and it’s definitely a new favourite。 。。。more

The art was great and Chiang is what drew me to the book。 There was a “getting the band back together” vibe I enjoyed and reading these people we know as villains grow older and think differently was interesting。The relationships between the characters seemed lived in and new connections were built well。Batman’s influence is here though he doesn’t show up much。Still not sure if the promise/reveal of Orpheus worked for me （and I’m not sure if Orpheus is an established Batman concept）。 Around the The art was great and Chiang is what drew me to the book。 There was a “getting the band back together” vibe I enjoyed and reading these people we know as villains grow older and think differently was interesting。The relationships between the characters seemed lived in and new connections were built well。Batman’s influence is here though he doesn’t show up much。Still not sure if the promise/reveal of Orpheus worked for me （and I’m not sure if Orpheus is an established Batman concept）。 Around the same time we learned about Orpheus at the end， there was some magic happening that took me out of the story。 Until then， it was stuff that seemed more realistic （even Ivy） for whatever that means in a superhero-based story。 At the end， I still liked the characters working together。Harvey Dent and Barbara Gordon were well featured。 。。。more

I was late to the party and only realized this series was happening around issue 4 or 5。 My lovely comic book store， while sold out of the earlier issues， promised to get me the book when it was published。 And it。 Is。 Fantastic。 We rarely see what aging heroes look like， and I haven't personally read a story of an aging woman who is perhaps not a hero， but masked。The story felt extremely relevant - we have class wars， concerns about the authority of police， and privacy on a constitutional level。 I was late to the party and only realized this series was happening around issue 4 or 5。 My lovely comic book store， while sold out of the earlier issues， promised to get me the book when it was published。 And it。 Is。 Fantastic。 We rarely see what aging heroes look like， and I haven't personally read a story of an aging woman who is perhaps not a hero， but masked。The story felt extremely relevant - we have class wars， concerns about the authority of police， and privacy on a constitutional level。Truly great， and I loved the generational references to various characters。 Recommend to fans of any and all iterations of Batman。 。。。more

This is some of the best Batman-adjacent writing I've ever read。 I'm actually still a bit stunned at how good it was。 Like， every beat was perfectly placed along the way。Each character is treated with such care， it's a pure joy to read。 Nothing is twisted or overblown for shock value。 It's just really great Batman fare that follows some of the mythology's best pieces and lets them shine。It's funny and poignant and beautifully drawn。 I'm gushing a bit， but I was very impressed。 Well done。 This is some of the best Batman-adjacent writing I've ever read。 I'm actually still a bit stunned at how good it was。 Like， every beat was perfectly placed along the way。Each character is treated with such care， it's a pure joy to read。 Nothing is twisted or overblown for shock value。 It's just really great Batman fare that follows some of the mythology's best pieces and lets them shine。It's funny and poignant and beautifully drawn。 I'm gushing a bit， but I was very impressed。 Well done。 。。。more
