SEEKERS OF THE BAT

Here we have a gorgeous shot of Ms. Selina Kyle, aka Mrs. Selina Wayne in a past life.  In many ways, she and Bruce are perfect for each other. Unfortunately, life keeps getting in the way. Picture by Wakkawa.

No great achievement ever came without sacrifice. In Batman’s case, he has completely shut himself off from the possibility of happiness in another person. As this poignant scene shows, he readily admits that his relationship to Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, lasted only because she was ‘the enemy’.  Although his devotion to his mission is total, he clearly still has moments of regret. Whether it is the result of a man fulfilling the promise of a traumatized boy, or a deep seated survivor’s guilt preventing him from accepting happiness, the Batman has decided to fight on alone.

This commercial sells what? Not sure, but I’m sold.

Dustin Nguyen gives us a lovely depiction of Batman and his on-again, off-again love interest: The Catwoman.  Although Batman has been involved with several exceptional women over the years, Selina Kyle is special in that she is the only woman who doesn’t need to be rescued on a regular basis. Having her own dual identity, she fully understands the life he leads.  In many ways, they are mirror images of each other, albeit on different sides of the law.
