It is one of many vagaries of recent superhero comics storytelling in a shared universe of continuity. If an occasion occurs in a primary character’s personal e-book, it might need occurred. Or it may not have occurred. It is just when it’s referenced or seems in one other e-book, part of that shared universe, that it counts. To be is not only to be perceived however to have a kind of editorial observe comics captions. I’ve a cross-continuity observe; due to this fact I’m.
So when Tini Howard and Nico Leon launched Valmont in Catwoman #39 as a thriller man and a attainable new foil or companion for Selina Kyle, Catwoman, away from Batman, there may be some debate as to how deep within the comics this may go.
Tini Howard and Nico Leon already noticed Catwoman face off towards former companion and former Catwoman character Eiko Hasigawa within the Liaisons Dangereux story, previously a member of the Yakuza, now head of the Hasigawa legal enterprise. Just for newcomer Valmont, nominatively based mostly on Detective Valmont from Les Miserables. And whereas there was flirtation, that’s so far as it has gone within the comics up to now.
Effectively, Bleeding Cool will get the phrase from upcoming Batman comics, that we’ll see Selina Kyle and Valmont having slept collectively. That it is a common factor. That Selina Kyle has moved on and so should Bruce Wayne. And if it occurs within the Batman comics – then it’s going to positively depend when it occurs within the Catwoman comedian as effectively.
