The narrative is very slow, it's something that won't really change, it depends on each person's taste. It's gratifying to have such well-written characters in crime comics, Cass, Gordon, Selina... incredible characters. And, especially Catwoman, I couldn't even remember the last time she appeared in Tec, so having a character so important to the Batman mythos back in the game is something worth s more

The backup story sucks. Stop bringing in Eiko and other garbage from her terrible New 52 run. There is only one Catwoman and it's Selina.
