"Batman...this thing...he's the Goddamn devil...sent by the Lord to punish us for our sins". Full quote from Gordon's mouth. Sorry, I guess King couldn't help himself.
When Batman begins to doubt Catwoman’s allegiance, it leads to trouble on the streets of Gotham. Who does Selina support: Joker, Phantasm, or the Dark Knight? Well, he’ll soon find out that some questions are better left unasked. If he’s going to test her loyalty, she’s going to test his mettle. Thus, Bruce Wayne finds himself locked in a bank vault with the Gotham PD knocking on the door!
The drama in this book goes higher here and it's awesome. Tom King writes another fine script, and his passion shows. The artwork is well done. I wish it were Clay Mann for consistency. But hopefully he will be back. I love Sharp too, so it is an easy enough trade off. Read Full Review
It's very rare to see an art switch mid-stream work out, and even rarer for it to take a title to another level. But while Clay Mann's art was always excellent, Liam Sharp's super-detailed and gritty work is even better for this three-pronged story. Read Full Review
Liam Sharp delivers some gritty visuals in this issue and the style perfectly matches the gritty, noir elements of the plot. Shadow is used brilliantly throughout and the visual styles of both the past and present stories work perfectly together. Read Full Review
Batman/Catwoman #7 marks the beginning of the second half of Tom King's series. Bruce and Selina's romance is a rather odd one, but King's story is exploring it in a fascinating way. King has written some absolutely amazing Batman stories and this series is shaping up to be another classic. Read Full Review
Batman/Catwoman #7 is the strongest issue of the series to date. The three-headed monster of a storyline still has its shortcomings, but this time around none of the storylines drag the others down. There's a better balance between action and emotional coherence in King's script this time around and Liam Sharp's thoughtful art elevates the series even higher than before. Read Full Review
WhileBATMAN/CATWOMAN #7 does feel like a bump in the road in some ways, it's also an exciting new chapter for the series. This issue suffers from some of the normal growing pains of a series taking on another artist. Yet, many of these issues are also a result of Sharp working unapologetically in his own style. Which, for everyone reading this series, is very exciting news! Read Full Review
Batman/ Catwoman #7 is starting to show more flaws in the storytelling beats. Given that there is five more issues and maybe a Christmas one-shot special to go, one wonders if King is drawing out his conclusions a little. The plots are all interesting, but the structure of the three time periods maybe detrimental to the overall story. Read Full Review
Batman/Catwoman #7 feels like it's finally going somewhere, though as to where, we're still in the dark. Liam Sharp takes over for art, and his style works well with Tom King's more serious Bat-yarn. Read Full Review
Batman Catwoman remains a disjointed and uninteresting read. King hasn't figured out the best approach to make his time jumping story work and it's just slowly playing out in the least exciting manner possible. Read Full Review
While a lot of people will love Liam Sharp's contribution to this issue, it left me wishing that Clay Mann was still the artist because it's essentially the only redeeming quality for me in this series as the story just doesn't do anything and when it tries, it feels weird and on the verge of being horrible to the characters it's presenting. Hopefully though, since we didn't get much story in the first half of this series, maybe we'll start getting things picked up with the rest of this series but if this issue is any indication, I'm not going to hold my breath.

There are so many missed opportunities in Batman/Catwoman #7 that it gets to the point of being infuriating. That anger all comes from have such high hopes Tom King would deliver an epic conclusion to his Batman run. Now after this issue I'm not so sure anymore. Which makes all the emotions I am left with for this series turn into sadness with that realization. Read Full Review
Every issue of Batman/Catwoman has somehow managed to get worse than the one before it, but this week's Batman/Catwoman #7 is spectacularly awful. Read Full Review
lol the anti-vaxxer is triggered
Your either gonna love or hate this..
The question at the end is what did the Joker tell Andrea to keep her from killing him? Andrea then tries to kill Selina which is what she was going to do initially since she is viewed as a Joker accomplice. Her son is dead, that was shown earlier in this series, so what was it?
I could really feel like how the Bat and Cat's relationship is enough to provide insight to Helena. It's dysfunctional as it can get, almost dependent, but it's authentic on how real their relationship is. It's what allows Bruce to pull off such crazy acts to hide in plain sight; probably not the most realistic, but that's besides the point. Just makes me wonder where this is going to go.
The story continues to be meandering and incoherent, but damn if Liam Sharp doesn't make muddled stasis look good
So weird. What happens to Clay Mann?
I really want to enjoy this story, but the storytelling has gotten so convoluted I honestly can’t even tell you what’s happening.
Pela arte do Liam Sharp, mas o roteiro em si se perdeu lá atras............se é que tinha caminho.
This wasn't very good. The only thing I liked was the bank vault part, but it seems like barely anything is happening and I'm so sick of the way this story is being presented. The art isn't even as good as I thought it would be.
Arrgghhh. This miniseries is so frustrating. The three time periods is confusing. The new characters are just there. We really don't know anything about Helena or Andrea. It's all about Catwoman killing the Joker. Frankly, I don't see why anyone would care. With Bruce dead, I could absolutely believe that Helena and Dick would give Selina a pass.
This is the Joker. They'd have to be happy he's gone. That would be the interesting thing, not let's arrest Selina.
The big "twist" is that the Joker told Andrea something and that stopped her from killing him, in fact she went off with him and Selina doesn't know why. It's obvious that it's because he told her that her son is still alive. If I'm wrong, I am wrong, but I'm not more
"The Joker is sent by the Lord to punish us for our sins" Man, that doesn't sound like Gordon at all and it comes in a stark contrast with Gordon from The Joker series, this sounds more like the wimp Gordon from Batman/Superman series from the World of Tomorrow.
This is probably the poorest issue yet, and #1-6 were pretty damned poor. Who has intercourse while listening to "O Come all ye faithful," really? But this issue was incredibly dull and incredibly confusing. Shifting from one time to a point makes it real hard to follow. "Okay, is this the present, or a flashback Or forward...?"
I swear this should be King's last Batman story ever. Not only was it put on hiatus for a year, it's constantly late. We'll be lucky if it's concluded by 2023. That is if any of us are even still bothering to read it. I'm not ordering new issues anymore. I may one day buy the remaining 5 from 50 cent or dollar bins to complete the story, (providing I don't sell what I've got so far soon along with every Superma more
Tom King once again proves that his comics are worth their weight in turds.
actually, turds are more valuable than this crap.
I definitely agree with the comment that this has become a fanfic where we have Bruce and Selina naked during the middle of the installment.
Seriously, at this point this book feels like a amateur fan fiction writing where you are there just for a specific thing like a pairing and the story as to make little to nonsense. but this is a comic book and it feels worse than even some fan fictions.
