Much to the chagrin of comic book fans, DC decided to spoil the fact that Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle don't get married in Batman #50 earlier this week before the issue went on sale. In the comic, we learn that Catwoman is convinced not to go ahead with things by her old friend Holly Robinson but when she's later returned to Arkham Asylum, an unexpected twist is revealed about her true intentions.
We learn that Bane is the one who orchestrated the plan to end their relationship not because a happy Caped Crusader would mean the end of Batman but because he wants to break him emotionally in a bid to finally bring the hero down. Shockingly, he seems to have gathered an entire group of villains by his side, including The Joker, The Riddler, and most surprisingly, the Flashpoint version of Batman!
This could be a sign that he's been behind everything that's happened to Batman in these first fifty issues from Tom King and it's going to be very interesting seeing where things go from here, especially as we know the writer has a 100-issue game plan for the Dark Knight. What did you guys think of Batman #50? Do you have any theories on what comes next? Share your thoughts in the usual place.
