[Maleficentogre]

[Murrocko]

Who's the blonde Catwoman. I don't follow the book, but I'm looking into getting into some new ones come OYL.

Maybe Bruce is the father and she names the baby Helena? :cool:

[Drifter]

well thats great....but whos the father dag nab it!?

[AllisterH]

We're not going to find out until near the end of 52 if so early.

The "who is the dad" is going to be milked for a good bit. Personally, I don't think Bruce is the father since a Bruce Wayne (in continuity) as a parent is something I can't see the Batoffice allowing.

I'm thinking it is Slam Bradley Jr. The father is going to be out of commission for a bit so he isn't up to the task. Bruce, remember is going to be "GONE" for a whole year (along with Diana and clark).

That leaves Jr.

You might be 100% right. But is this something fans want to see, though? Catwoman pregnant by someone other than Bats (let alone at all)? Why build up...feelings, even if they never go anywhere but just smolder, only for this? I know plans change, but...I don't know. *shakes head* Wait and see as always.

[Maleficentogre]

I hope she keeps it, I hope it's not huntress, I hope batman is the father, I hope he doesn't know, I hope she doesn't tell him, I hope she stops being catwoman. I also hope this really is more than just a stunt.

I share your same hopes, actually. But they're peppered with fears that the exact opposite will happen. Still...its hard, but wait and see. :(

EDIT: I'm actually kinda iffy on her not telling him, though (going by this imaginary scenario that Bruce is the father), though I guess she'd reason it would ruin his "mission" if he knew.

So that's supposed to be Selena giving birth in the preview? Didn't think it looked that much like her and, if so, why did the doctor call her by another name?

She probably got a new identity after she killed Black Mask

[Maleficentogre]

Even if that's not why I wouldn't give my real name anyway. If I was a cape. Also, I don't expect anything I stated earlier to happen. but I'd be happy with anything that's not a total gimmick, as long as the kid doesn't die cause that'd be total bs.

[Amethyst Rose]

I just want to know the baby's name. I got a feeling that will answer a few questions.

Well, apparently Sam Jr. dies in #52, so it'd be physically impossible for it to be Sam, unless his death is a ruse.

That's what I thought at first. I wondered if it was something to throw us off and that it wasn't even Selina but someone else entirely. The beginning narrative though seems to indicate that it is Selina and that's the baby.

My guess - the baby will be named Helena but it may not be Bruce's baby. So we may end up with a Helena Kyle that's Catwoman's daughter but not Bruce's daughter.

Either that or it is his daughter and we'll end up with some weird "baby lost in time" story and she returns fully grown as Batwoman in a few months. Although I do wonder if they'd do a weird time travel/bubble/shift in a Batbook.

Depends on how old the little darling is at the start of 52

covers can trick you

It's Selina. In some of the interviews previewing Catwoman OYL, it's been said that Selina had to change her identity (probably fearing vengeance from Black Mask's goons).

Guys, what if the new Catwoman is a recovered Maggie Kyle?

[Nate Grey]

I just had a thought (I may have mentioned this already elsewhere), but I got a feeling this is a surrogate pregnancy. If so, who are the real parents and why is Selina doing them this favor?

[Maleficentogre]

aww I don't like that. it's sad.

What gave you this idea?

I actually like this idea. A LOT.
I hope they go in this direction. A very interesting development for the character.

The name she gave is Simone Simon's character's name in the old Cat People movie. Clever, eh?

[AlistairCrane]

Yeah, that's kind of cool!

[Violently Apathetic]

I can see why others feel differently, but I'd really like it to be Batman's kid. Then again, I wanted Peter and Mary-Jane's baby to live too...I think I just like babies. Fictional babies. Real babies smell.

[Watchman]

I can't say I'm too excited about this baby thing.

*Watchman's evil mind*
Perhaps DC will kill it off in the future for some added shock value.

Just kidding, just kidding! :(

Yeah, DC must know most fans want it to be Bruce's kid. I think they're gonna toy with us for a while, though.
