Selina presents a very special gift to the East End in grand fashion while Slam Bradley displays his darker side. Holly rocks to her favorite band while a very deadly plan is put into motion, one that targets not just Catwoman, but Selina Kyle as well! "Relentless" part 2.
Most people still think of comic books as kid's stuff or the kid's stuff from which better more mature entertainment comes: Batman and Batman Returns for instance. Animation--largely due to Batman the Animated Series--has shaken off the shackles of being solely for kids. Laypeople realize that animation isn't necessarily for kids and can be enjoyed by adults.
