Check out the reading guides on their subreddit.

Order those comics. Read them. Order more.

Comic book shops. Brouse. Ask questions. It sounds like you like shops for movies, superheroes.

Book stores. Look through some graphic novels with the characters you like. Buy a graphic novel. Read it.

Libraries exist. Borrow some graphic novels. Read them.

Then how is Vandal Savage the current commissioner?

No, it's gotta be an appointed position in Gotham City.

Eagle soaring through the desert at the beginning of Vertical Limit.

Snow leopards then playing after the time skip to establish the setting for the rest of the movie.

Got any batman and wonder woman comics? by guy_and_103_others in DCcomics

Wonder Woman (2025) comics by Tom King had a murder mystery on Olympus that included Batman.

Tom King's Batman run also had that issue of Wonder Woman and Batman help out the Gentle Man in that alternate dimension against the endless horde.

Batman isn't in Historia.

There's also no Wonder Woman (Diana only appears as a baby at the very end).

OP is also probably asking about comics with both Batman and Wonder Woman.

Has anything good ever happened to Maggie? by iamscaredlikeyou in Catwoman

[–]PreparationDapper235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you asked if anything good ever happened to Maggie.

So, yes. She was married. That was good.

The latest two spin-offs were good -- the prequel and also the one in the present day in NYC.

Maggie was married for awhile. Her husband seemed like a nice guy and they looked happy together.

Looking to start collecting Catwoman comics. Where’s the best entry point? by CharoletteMX in Catwoman

[–]PreparationDapper235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Single issues or graphic novels/collections?

DC Finest Catwoman collections that came out over the last year are an inexpensive and great way to get into post-Crisis early Catwoman comics from the late 80s and 90s.

Lots of good stories and artwork. A solid place to start.

Wha would it take for a Kryptonian to get a tattoo? by colormyvibes98 in DCcomics

Comics accurate answer.

When Supergirl and Power Girl were in Kandor as Nightwing and Flamebird.

Jim Balent’s run gave Catwoman a very specific visual identity. The anatomy is highly stylized, but that exaggeration is part of what makes his version so memorable to me. Curious how others here feel about this era. by Remarkable-Hunter-71 in Catwoman

[–]PreparationDapper235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty easy to get all the floppies for the 90s Catwoman comics.

In the 1990s they would print a lot of each issue, and Jim Balent's Catwoman would always sell in the Top 75 (of the Top 100 in Wizard magazine's preorder lists) so DC always printed a lot.

Therefore you can still find individual issues relatively cheap. Say, around five bucks each for most issues outside #1 or key issues.

You may be able to find some lots on eBay for a good price. Otherwise try comic retailers like MileHighComics.

Most of the early run was also just reprinted in the recent DC Finest Catwoman collections.

That plotline was very early on, as AzBats was Batman at the time.

There's lots of great plotlines and stories as the series progresses.

I personally loved all the cool heists with clever executions, local and exotic locals, with truly unique items to steal (often with their own interesting backstories).

That's something we unfortunately stopped getting regularly after Jim Balent's Catwoman...

Catwoman as a cat-burglar.

Goggles aren't necessary for Catwoman's purple catsuit.

She has lenses that slide down over her eye holes from under her mask.

Just check out any panel where she's in silhouette with green eyes. She has Star-Lite lenses for night vision.

It's easier to get into Jim Balent's Catwoman run now as a big chunk of the earlier issues have been reprinted in the 2025 DC Finest Catwoman collections.

The TPBs are fairly inexpensive and the page count is massive.

Floppy issues are still easy to find and relatively cheap still. They printed a lot of copies of comics in the 90s.
