so i wanted to talk about the earth 2 batcat marriage and how i think it’s sort of misinterpreted in various ways by the fandom. i don’t think it needs to be completely discarded from the narrative as “traditional values” nor do i think it MUST be inserted into continuity as the perfect happy ending. i logically understand that comics suck and comic book writers suck and there’s 0 room for nuance but i really wish people paid attention to what exactly brave and the bold #197 is about.

this work is written in the late 70s as a period piece of the 50s, and the circumstances for women were probably very different back then. selina has hit a wall in her career as catwoman, and she feels trapped. now selina will never feel this way in the mainline because her thievery needs to be ongoing and nonstop, but why does nobody want to consider why she might feel this way? is stealing always about the thrills and the glamour of it? where is the depth? the toll that a lifestyle like this might take on you? batman gets all this exploration as a HERO as to the toll his life takes on him but selina isn’t entitled to the same depth of exploration as a VILLAIN? i imagine her options for survival were probably far more limited back in the 50s than they ever were now.

selina’s marriage to bruce is actually stupidly practical. we can pretend it’s a grand finale to a grand romance, but really, bruce has always wanted selina to reform so he could be with her. his misogyny has always exhibited itself in his paternalism over her. the power has always been on selina’s end as to when she wants to agree. she’s saying, “i’ve hit a wall and have nowhere to turn. i love you and i’ve come to recognize my mortality.” and he’s saying “ok. whenever you’re ready, i have everything you need to be your safety net. let’s take care of each other.” i don’t think selina NEEDS bruce to take care of herself. i think she’s always been capable of financial independence, which is what her criminality is really about. the story is just a business deal between a woman who now has nothing and a man who has everything and wants to help her get back on her feet. i think there should be contention. an exploration of the power dynamics even in this mode of domesticity. it doesn’t have to be shunned, it has to be written properly so people can see what it actually is.

In the year 1940, Selina Kyle puts the shards of herself back together after a torrid divorce. In the year 1960, Selina Wayne reminisces on all the ways she has had to make her way back up in the world. (1/2)

Selina could still feel the ache in her right arm when she clambered up the stairwell to the fourth story of the apartment. She was barely able to stand upright, but she knew she needed to get to shelter before the rain began. Droplets fell from her hair as she clutched her gun to her side and threw open the door. Hecate, her cat, meowed at the sudden interruption, jumping off the windowsill to face her owner’s return. Selina shook off her blonde wig and tried not to succumb to the teeth-chattering cold.

Official prompt list here we go !!

Each day has three prompts. You may create something based on any one of the prompts for each day to participate. If you wish to use more then one per day, feel free, but that is not required.

I tried to make prompts for every aspect of Selina’s character, so there should be a prompt for everyone, regardless of what parts of Selina you like best.

What will you create?

Does it bother you? It didn't used to. But now, when I think about our future... sometimes it does. I'm trouble, Bruce. And I'll always be trouble. Does that bother you? No. It doesn't? Nope. You said you think about our future. That's what you took from this conversation? It was the most important thing.

AWWWWW STOP THEY ARE SO SWEET

Selina Kyle Weekend 2026 Info Post

What is Selina Kyle Weekend?

Selina Kyle weekend is a four-day fan event celebrating the princess of plunder, Catwoman of the East End, Selina Kyle herself! This event will be going from February 6th to February 9th. Throughout the event fans can make and share content following a serious of prompts for each day of the event, each prompt relating to some part of Selina Kyle. (Prompt list to come!)

How can I participate?

Obviously the simplest way to participate is to interact and support the creators of works for this week. If you do want to create something, there is pretty a wide array of things that you can create. Some examples can be:

I would ask that whatever content you create is original or somewhat curated. This means, if you want to post official art or panels, try to make it a collection of panels related to the theme, instead of just one singular panel. Related to this and something that will be outlined in more detail later, do not repost other peoples original work (fanart, etc.) or use AI generated content for this event.

After posting your work, tag this account (@selinakyleweekend) or use the tag #selina kyle weekend 2026 as part of the tags in your post. This will help me find the post, and I will try to reblog every post on each day, to the best of my ability.

What are the rules?

The rules are fairly simple.

One, please be respectful. If you do not want to see works from this event simply block the tags. This is not the place for argument, debate, or shipping wars. I realize for some Selina may be a controversial character, but I would encourage you to redirect your energy to celebrating characters you enjoy instead of attacking others for their interests.

Back to the topic of content, I would again emphasize to please do not use AI to participate in this event.

Finally, if you would like to create NSFW content or content that explicitly explores the more mature themes within Selina's history and backstory when participating in this event, I would ask that you tag your work as such explicitly. You work should be marked mature, and tagged NSFW or NSFT. All work should still follow the content guidelines set out by tumblr.

I would like to also give props to @dickbabsweek25 who has been a helpful guide at what hosting an event like this can look like, so you may see me taking inspiration from them in my organization.

That is all! Any other questions can be directed to my asks and I set get to work on the prompt list for this event. I hope you are all looking forward to this as much as I am!

I want what they have

Dickbabs + Christmas/New Years

“Merry Christmas Mr. Grayson.”

“And a happy New Years to you Miss. Gordon. Cheers.”

This tweet is exactly how people react when selina gets anything even though she is also a fan favourite 😭
