Batman / Catwoman: The Gotham War #[nn]
Catwoman stands front and center on this striking Jorge Jiménez cover, clutching a bag with cash bills swirling around her as a massive, brooding Batman looms behind her in shadow — the Bat-Signal cutting through the Gotham night while masked figures gather in the streets below. The tension between these two is palpable, with Selina's cool, defiant gaze suggesting she's playing her own game entirely. Written by Tini Howard and Chip Zdarsky with interior art by Mike Hawthorne, this 2024 collection of "The Gotham War: Battle Lines" looks like a must-read exploration of what happens when Gotham's greatest allies find themselves on opposite sides.

After being worn down from his recent battles with Failsafe, Red Mask, and Insomnia, Batman awakens from a 8-week long sleep. He finds that in his absence crime has gone down, with the major villains not being able to hire enough henchmen to pull off their crimes. He soon learns that Catwoman is responsible for hiring away the underlings and planning profitable non-violent crimes for them. She makes a proposal to the Bat-family to let her continue her operations that have resulted in making the city safer, but Batman refuses to consider her offer, placing them at odds.
