Four years ago, fans of Tom King’s Batman were disappointed—and even enraged—by what they felt was a bait and switch with Batman #50. The issue, highly hyped as the all-important wedding between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Selina Kyle/Catwoman came and then never actually happened. Selina left Bruce at the altar, as it were. In the years since, a lot has happened, both in terms of King’s run on Batman, as well as with the characters themselves with all of it leading to this: Batman/Catwoman #12. The issue finally delivers that wedding after giving us a dozen issues of story that also wove in bits about their married life and family between a murder story and other elements, but while the issue finally offers up a conclusion and delivers on the “Batrimony” of it all, much like the rest of the Batman/Catwoman series it lacks substance, sense, and lands as little more than a somewhat pretty string of gimmicks that just feels like cheap fan service in the end.
