I appreciated a lot of the topics brought up in this book and the art style was beautiful. Some of the dialogue was a bit cringy but not enough to turn me away. The plot was somewhat predictable and I felt like they could’ve done more / gone deeper (felt a bit rushed). That being said, it was very enjoyable and would recommend.

battybookworm's review against another edition

Stereotypical, ridiculous amounts of violence and takes something out of the cat woman story for me. Why does Bruce Wayne go to her school? Why not show her rise without Bruce, the weird reconnection with him just made me 🙄
Art style is pretty cool.

It was an okay story for a teen audience I think, I am not sure how well it works as a DC /Catwoman story as I dont know much about her character/history (but one thing that pulled me out of this was the idea of Bruce going to a public school).
While fantastical things exist in DC this book kind of sidesteps them, and I personally wouldnt have minded the little girl really growing thorns but I understand that they wanted a more "grounded" story.
The art is okay, not really my thing but not the worst.
