Reviews for Batman vs. Catwoman

[elizajane_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I like this series and this latest entry is a fine example of it at its best. A fast-paced action plot that portrays the superheroes/villains well. Catwoman isn't really the villain in this book though she starts off by trying to rob the Penguin when Batman first confronts her. Catwoman gets her back up and the two are battling from the get-go, but soon afterwards Catwoman escapes and finds out the Penguin is about to destroy Gotham so she and Batman team up against Copplepot and the fighting action never stops. Purely plot driven, but Bat, Cat and Penguin are true to character throughout. Will keep young readers or DC fans entertained. Tim Levins is a veteran DC artist, which makes for rewarding illustrations.

This was a cute book. I hadn't known that Capstone (the publisher of other hilarious DC fiction/comics for the younger generation) had these simple chapter books. And while of course, it's not the epitome of storytelling, it's still a pretty solid story, and a cute one as well.I wasn't sure how the author was going to address the fact that Catwoman is one of the most in the grey characters of the Bat-Family world, and I thought that Bright did it very well. The story starts with Catwoman wanting to steal some very shiny baubles from a certain bird, and it goes from there.One thing that really surprised me was the ending. I thought I knew how it was going to end, after all, I'm an adult and this book is technically meant for kids, and yet I was happily surprised by the twist at the ending. I also liked seeing the illustrations as well, they were classic, and in some places where the narrative description wasn't totally understandable the pictures helped a lot.
