Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that I've seen Wes's pencils for this issue and they're incredible. This is our first real all-out action issue, so be sure to check it out. There'll be plenty of unexpected villains popping up. Thanks, Matthew K. Manning www.matthewkmanning.com

REVIEW: Since I started reading this series with issue 18, I didn't read the previous issues with Catwoman. Now with issue 24, I get my chance. One of the things I liked about Catwoman from TB is that she doesn't get the chance to go to prison. Add that to her date with Bruce Wayne in the Season Two episode of "Ragdolls to Richies", this gives her the opening to be like she is in the comics. This issue doesn't alter nor change that.
This issue was pretty neat and funny. Batgirl watching the store in case Catwoman shows up and at the same time Batman is fighting some of the villians who've escaped from arkham. When you hear it, it sounds normal but watching it you can't help but crack a smile. Either from Batman's actions or from Batgirl's words.
Entering the comic version, we see Temblor, Ragdoll and the Cluemaster's midgets that haven't been seen since their last appearence. We didn't get anything new about them since they were shown fighting Batman. Firefly still....flies, Temblor still makes a mess, the midgets multiply and it could be said that enough is enough of them, and Ragdoll still likes to make Catwoman not get her target.
One last thing I like to say before my sign off is the detail and a continunity error. Now, this is kinda dumb, but this issue made me see the detail of the designs in the comic. I know it was shown back to the first issue, but it kinda reminds me of BTAS or even today's anime shows where the detail is there & stays. The error I found is Arkham Asylum. When you see the overview of the asylum, its on top of a hill surrounded by grass. But in the show, its just on land suspended by a bridge. I guess someone made a mistake.
Overall, this was neat and funny as I said. If its not the action, its the little jokes or remarks. The next issue is going to be around Kilelr Croc. But I must say, because of his appearence in "Swamped", I doubt I will like or get the next issue.
RATING: 7.5/10

Thanks Kathrine. was 19 the one you were mentioned in? Or is it 20? Oh, well, I'll just get them all next week. [shadow=green,left,300] Johnny remembered me and mentioned me being his Deputy in Batman Strikes #20 with Bane in beginning of the letters section. If I ever was literally in a issue, I would faint. Hopefully someday if I am lucky I will be Riddler's henchwomen in a issue She doesn't really look like me but at least she has curly hair, that's a start. LOL! I just need to grow my hair out more and get some goofy Willy Wonka glasses and then I'll look like her. An issue I suggest you to pick up would be #17 ;D [/shadow]
