Warning! Spoilers ahead for Batman/Catwoman #12
After being teased for years, Catwoman finally get their wedding at the conclusion of Tom King and Clay Mann's 12-issue maxiseries. Serving as the dynamic ending for Tom King's run on Batman which ended in 2019, Batman/Catwoman exists in an alternate timeline from DC's primary continuity. As such, King has been able to take Batman and Catwoman's relationship to the natural conclusion he always intended (like having them actually get married).
Featuring Batman and Catwoman in the past, present, and future with three interconnected narratives, the present-day story in Batman/Catwoman saw Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle coming to grips with who they are to each other, trying to figure out if their relationship is sustainable and if they could build a life together. For example, Catwoman's history and friendship with the Joker naturally became a significant point of contention for Batman. However, the final issue sees the Bat and Cat finally deciding to get hitched.
Unlike other comicbook weddings where a massive collection of heroes are invited and it's a major event, the new Batman/Catwoman #12 sees Selina and Bruce going to a 24-hour chapel in Gotham. Purchasing the all-inclusive "Batrimony" package where "Batman" himself marries the happy couple, a minister dressed as Adam West's Caped Crusader is present along with Superman and Lois Lane who showed up as witnesses the second Bruce called Clark. As a result, it's an incredibly simple and sweet ceremony for Selina and Bruce as they finally get married, redeeming their attempt to be wed in the main continuity when Selina controversially left Bruce at the altar.
While the wedding is likely to be quite different than how fans might have imagined it, the simplicity of Batman and Catwoman deciding to get married without all the fanfare is quite satisfying. All they need is each other. The Bat and the Cat. Like Selina says to Bruce before the wedding:
"This is who we are. You and me. Without costumes and gadgets and whips. After all they've done to us this is what's left. Bat and Cat. Two wounded animals who, in the midst of the hurt, managed to crawl to each other."
At any rate, it's nice to see Batman and Catwoman getting the wedding they (and fans) have long deserved and the one Tom King originally planned (even if it had to happen in an alternate timeline). However, it going to be very hard for any potential Bat/Cat wedding bells in the main continuity to top what's seen here in this final issue. While it may be one of the smallest weddings in comic book history, Batman and Catwoman's wedding was absolutely one of the most perfect.
