Catman/Batwoman, Page 1 (of 12)

 PAGE ONE

Panel 1

Catman and Batwoman prowling around the rooftops of Gotham. Since this is, like every page of this epic mini-comic, part of a nine panel grid, this is a glimpse of our protagonists, but they are still wearing noticeably different costumes. Catman, instead of his usual orange and brown costume, is wearing a white variant. The basic design is the same otherwise, with three red shred marks on the chest, but on the sides of the cowl (depending on how the panel is illustrated, in this instance), and on the sides of his gloves, plus the bottom of the cape is shredded, too. Batwoman, Barbara Gordon, is in the classic Batgirl costume, but this version is entirely black.

CAPTION: The Cat and The Bat.
