See Batman and Catwoman’s Romantic History Through Sexy New Perspective

DC's New 52 relaunch streamlined and pruned the DC Universe's complex history, but at the expense of many classic storylines and character relationships. Since the advent of DC Rebirth in 2016, the company has made a concerted effort to change course and restore those missing elements. Nowhere has that process been more tangible or crucial than in Batman #44, a comic devoted to celebrating the long history between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle even as it highlights how that history has changed with time.

Essentially a prelude to the upcoming wedding between the two characters, Batman #44 focuses on Selina's efforts to "find" (more accurately, steal) the perfect wedding dress. As she contemplates her options, Selina frequently flashes back to her previous costumed encounters with her fiance. Each of these flashbacks recreates iconic moments from Batman comics of the past.

Nolan and Joy detailed the "controversial" plan - which they'd previously teased during the show's panel at South By Southwest - via a Reddit post during an AMA; which is fitting, considering Reddit was the source of many fan theories that turned out to be true as Season 1 progressed.

Are Marvel Actors Selling Out? Zoe Saldana Doesn’t Think So

Actress Zoe Saldana is no stranger to blockbuster franchises, starring in pivotal roles in Star Trek, Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, and this year's highly anticipated Avengers: Infinity War, as the powerful green alien, Gamora.

Saldana is a fan of the sci-fi/comic book genres, so it's no surprise that she had some choice words for her Hollywood peers that would call actors starring in superhero films sellouts. In a recent interview with Net-A-Porter, the actress gives her response:

“I’ve been in rooms with people in this industry who are great at what they do, but they’re absolutely elitist and they look down at movies like the Marvel films or actors like myself," Saldana told Net-A-Porter. "They think we’re selling out in some way.
