	Obligatory? "Cougar." There, that's out of the way. New friends? The Gotham Girls are old ~~off-again on-again~~ friends. 25K sounds like spare change to Dick -- and Selina. Did Selina burn through the Hush money already? Hee hee, looks like the brim of her hat is mashed into Dick's forehead. Love her earrings. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Love the icon! I also love, above, when he says he's not going to chase after her. And then, next panel, does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're not really "old" friends, because Harley was only created in the DCU in "No Man's Land" which is not that long ago, DCU time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I love this. Their relationship is so...unique. They both know Bruce loved the other, but aren't sure that the this means the other person can be trusted. Love that Dick flat-out says he doesn't understand Bruce's relationship to Selina. Selina probably understands Dick/Bruce more, but still not the specifics, which get pretty intense themselves.

She looks adorable with her hat there.

Love that they're both so obviously hot, yet not attracted to each other. Especially since Selina is used to being a femme fatale when she has to be, but she's just not Dick's type even if she wasn't like his stepmother. The guy lived with Kory.

	It kept me making me think of this: All things considered, this is a much better Catwoman than I expected from Daniels and I might even consider picking up the next issue of Batman. (Which has Catwoman, Oracle, and Huntress appearing in it IIRC.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

I got this too and I liked that scene at the pool very much. Nice to see Selina's got a new mouse to play with :D

Major props to Tony Daniels. He draws her beautifully here, very sophisticated (love her suit!) and full of sex appeal. I loved their conversation as well. I think it might have gone better for Dick had he said "please". It's perfectly in character for her to give him a hard time. Lol!

It doesn't really ring true to me for Selina to refer to herself as one of Bruce's "possessions," but other than that I did really like this. I love the acknowledgment that loving Bruce does give them a connection which they can both respect to a degree, even though the lack of trust and bits of unresolved jealousy will always be there between them.

And man, I know I'm the only one, but I love the way Tony Daniel draws people. His Dick always looks the right age without sacrificing the pretty, and I can't even get over how stunning Selina is here. If a little too young.

This whole issue was a huge improvement over BTFC. I guess Daniel can really write when Editorial is not hanging over every plot twist. And Selina looks really gorgeous here. Pretty svelte and in-shape for someone who’s both had ~~Bruce Wayne’s daughter~~ a kid and had her heart cut out of her chest recently (DCU time).

Some observations:
1) With the return of the Falcones and Selina’s possible relationship with them (“Catgirl” Falcone had the same shape and color eyes as Selina) it seems Daniel’s cementing Loeb’s Long Halloween and as hard continuity in the “New Earth” DCU (prior to this IMO its been up in the air on that issue). So I guess that means that the fact that playboy “Bruce Wayne” and Selina were in a hot-and-heavy intimate relationship as early as Year 2 is also now back in fact? The pool scene with Dick is almost certainly a homage to the scene where Selina introduces Mario Falcone to Bruce as he’s coming out of the pool in DV. Yet in Loeb’s Hush they seemed more like acquaintances than people who had known each other for a decade and I believe Post-COIE they really didn’t meet as Bruce and Selina until the Knightfall saga. But judging from 692 has their relationship’s length/beginning has been set back to Y2 now? Anyone?

2) I have to wonder if Selina and Dick would really be discussing the words “Bruce” and Batmobile“ with other people around. And Selina telling Dick she and Bruce loved each other? I don’t think she even ever told Bruce that! Now she’s casually saying it in public?

Yet,I do get a kick out of some folk on some(which shall remain nameless) thinking they saw some sexual tension between Dick and Selina here. I laugh because Selina pretty much has sexual tension with everyone she meets (male or female - look at her and Ivy!) and yet had zero with some guy named Sam Bradley Jr. (sorry Will Pfeiffer but it’s true). There’s more in the air in this one scene between her and the son of the love of her life (and ewww on ever going there) than there was between her and her titular baby-daddy who she jeopardized her relationship with Slam (her former lover himself!) for to have an OOC one-night-stand with. Please somebody (, Daniel, etc.) ret-con that story and quick! The more time passes the more ridiculous it becomes.

	Alright, I'll be honest. I actually thought after BftC that Tony Daniel cannot write for shit and that this would be the most horrible arc since B:RIP but this stuff is actually pretty good and I hope that he can keep this level of quality up throughout his run. (Reply to this)

I love Tony's art, glad to see it getting the kudos it deserves.

TD's always talking about learning and improving when it comes to his art, clearly it's true of his writing as well. While I find the book to appear VERY ambitious - so many characters, both established and fairly new, will be hard to juggle - he's got six issues to resolve all his plot points. I'm looking forward to every page, right now!

He's my favorite draw-er of Dick Grayson, as well. Aw Yeah Tony!

	Why are they talking about their nighttime alter egos in an all too public setting? Although they don't actually come out and mention the words, Batman or fighting crime, I would think that Dick would want to play it a little more carefully. At least have her meet him at the manor.
