Batman #24 - Every Epilogue is a Prelude
I know that I said there wouldn't be many posts this week, but I just have to talk about Batman #24.
Going into 'Every Epilogue is a Prelude', I was just expecting another filler issue, like with the Swamp-Thing story last time out. But this issue cleared up a bunch of plot threads from the Rebirth run so far.
The majority of the issue follows a conversation that Batman is having with Gotham-Girl, about what she should do now that she is herself again, and we get some more insight in to why Bruce is Batman, and why he cannot be happy ... because he is scared.
This leads directly in to the ending of the issue, where he is talking to Catwoman, and tells her about a diamond that she was stealing when they first met. He tells her how he had bought that diamond afterwards, as he knew that he would need it someday. After this he removes his cowl, drops to one knee, and proposes to Selina.
I loved this issue, honestly, and I am intrigued as to what the future holds for Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle. (Although one of them will probably either end up being killed off, or nothing will come of it at all.)
Next issue, 'The War of Jokes and Riddles' begins.
