As a Batman book, this is pretty weak with only one story dedicated to Bruce (never mind how insane and amazing that story was). As a Darwyn Cooke book, this is fantastic. Most of this volume is dedicated to Selina and Darwyn's love for her really shines through. His distinctive style is Catwoman to me. She's gorgeous no matter what (well, maybe not in Year One with the shaved head...) but my god. Darwyn with a pencil in his hand was pure magic. Darwyn drawing Selina Kyle? Perfection.
