Batman: Bride or Burglar? Review



Finished reading Batman: Bride or Burglar?, continuing the DC Comics series as Batman and Catwoman continue to plan their future together with their wedding around the corner which dealing with the multiple threats from around the DC Universe. The book opens with Bruce Wayne meeting with a boy named Matthew who has asked for advice in how to deal with the lost of his parents after finding his own murdered in their own kitchen as Batman takes on the case to find the murderer. The next story sees Wonder Woman asking for Batman's assistance to join her in another dimension as the two trade places with the Gentle man allowing him to have a brake from fighting an endless hoard of monsters which he uses to see his wife. However Catwoman soon discovers that time flows differently on Earth compared to the other universe as years begin to pass for the heroes how have stopped ageing. The penultimate story has Poison Ivy taking over the world's population apart from Batman and Catwoman who are able stop Ivy's control over them before her complete takeover of the world thanks to an antidote that Batman has on his desk. Once discovering that their free of Ivy's control Batman and Catwoman begin to come up with a plan to save the world from Ivy. The final story has Catwoman breaking into a shop to look for a wedding dress while the book flashbacks to multiple times Catwoman and Batman had met over the years. Overall this was decent book as writer Tom King continues the series with the lead up to Batman and Catwoman's wedding as the two deal with the views and opinions of their close friends while also being faced with multiple threats to Gotham and the world which leads to so very intriguing stories that sometimes miss their mark within the execution of a few of them thanks to some continuity errors among other head scratching moments. The art throughout the book is amazing that's to the almost breathtaking imagery especially during the Poison Ivy story with how much detail goes into the character and location designs along with the way the plants are within the story. While the creature designs and the action scenes during the Wonder Woman story also look amazing thanks to the way the book put focus on to the heroes combat abilities. 6/10.
