I think some people are bothered by Batman calling Catwoman 'baby', and the way she's all beaten up. I'm fine with ASBAR's crazy wacked-out manchild version of Batman using that word, and I like the way he sees her as a peer (in the preview image before the cut).

The beaten up part is another, more complicated deal, but she DOES get to be tough, I don't mind crazy ASBAR Batman noticing she's small when she's not moving around fighting somebody, and I'm glad she's not sporting a black eye, wearing a Wonder Woman outfit and tied up with a golden lasso until she's rescued by Batman. Like she was in Frank Miller's 1986 Dark Knight Returns.

What a difference 22 years makes or something else? I don't know. We also can't know what was going to happen next since ASBAR's on hiatus. But I thought it was kind of an interesting contrast.

I like this one better.
