Have to say, much better than the actual wedding arc. Worth the read.

I really do not like 90% of DC's event Tie-in issues. I don't know what it is but they almost always have dull artwork, low stakes, and little involvement in the main storyline. Dark Nights Metal was the biggest exception where some of the tie-ins exceeded the quality of (an already incredible) main storyline.

Only read this for completionism, I wouldn't recommend it.

These are 5 different one-shots alluding to the wedding, Joker told everyone that Bats is marrying Cat and now they want to kill him, so the Bat-fam will be protecting hid back by fighting them.

If there was ever a time for the Batfamily to come together and act like the dysfunctional family they are, a wedding would be a great time. I love when members of the family interact (especially Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian). So the fact that they were so isolated in this volume was disappointing.

That being said, the issues for Dick and Damian were solid. But the other three fell flat. Not essential reading to understand the main comic.

between seeing catwoman being an excellent stepmom and nightwing and superman taking batman out for his bachelor party this felt like it was made for me. I absolutely love when comics are like "alright, now lets do a silly one!"

This graphic novel is a collection of one-shots all with the common theme of Batman and Catwomanś wedding. There were times when I was genuinely confused by the story (Robin vs Raś al Ghul), but that could be my own fault for not keeping up with the storylines. But hello, who could pass up on the drama building up to a wedding?! On the other hand, there were other storylines I loved (Batgirl vs Riddler and Joker vs Harley). I enjoyed the art throughout the graphic novel and felt like it was fairly cohesive. While I wish there was more of a focus on Catwoman and Batman I would continue reading the storyline to see what happens at the wedding.

I bought my first ever DC Comics comic book since it was so beautifully drawn.

As Bats and Catwoman prepare for the big day, it seems someone's a bit miffed not to get an invite, and it's up to Red Hood, Batgirl, and Nightwing to clear up the mess that the Joker's leaving all over Gotham.

Equal parts funny and freaky (the bachelor party set-up is brilliant) this is a great accompaniment to the main story-line, and although not essential reading, long-time fans will enjoy the cameos.
