Batman Fans Are Questioning Why A Pregnant Catwoman Is Standing On A Rooftop In Costume

Batman writer Tom King has just dropped a bomb on DC Comics fans, instantly drumming up hype for his new Batman/Catwoman series. The major reveal came in the form of an unassuming tweet, with artwork of Batman and Catwoman in a prom photo-style embrace atop one of Gotham's rooftops. A close look revealed that Catwoman / Selina Kyle is visibly pregnant in the moment, as King seemingly announced to the world that a Bat-Baby is on the way! As with King's other shakeups of Batman lore (like Batman and Catwoman marrying, and Alfred being brutally murdered), there's been a major reaction from the DC fandom... and not for the reasons you may think.
