Batgirl fights back this issue (that bitch! I'm rooting for Catwoman), and the women continue to trade barbs as they battle it out for the notebook. Not much really happens this issue but if you like the two characters, it's a good read.

At the end, Catwoman proves why she's never really been a true villain. Oh, and I loved Barbara's foreshadowing line about being paralyzed!

Fun read. I didn't know Fabian's Catwoman is all scarred up like Batman.

Reading all the internal monologue was pretty funny. And Maguire is a bad ass artist. Both the writing and the art is exceptionally good.

Batman Confidential didn't start out very well, but now, it just keeps getting better and better!

what the hell was that!?!?!? O.O *didn't get the previous issue*

The initial begining made me feel weird getting this issue, as I thought it was gonna head in a cheesy way, but the art was so well done and it seemed to have the characters generally acting in accordance with the dialogue, that it was hard to pass up. I have to admit, this was fun, i'm looking forward to the next one. :)

As a f******t I thought the naked girl-on-girl action was a bit graituitous and just bait for some of the fanboyz, but that was my only qualm with this issue. It's not right that Batgirl and Catwoman are so overtly sexualized like that when you'd NEVER see naked Batman fight a naked villain. Anyway, just sayin' I have a problem with comics perpetuating gender and sexuality stereotypes. It reeks of lack of creativity or originality.

It reeks of lack of creativity or originality.Actually, I would love to see such a scene with a male hero just as well. And I'm not even homosexual.

I just don't think it would work with Batman. Because Barbara was every bit the Good Girl that Bruce Wayne isn't. (how is it called? Good Boy?) He would just walk in without having any problems with it. Just as Selina did. It just wouldn't be funny.

But there are plenty of male characters where I would like to see something like this.
