Batman # 40 – Batman Wasn’t Bad. But Wasn’t that Good Either

Batman # 40 catches up with that cliffhanger moment from Batman # 39 where Batman was seen just about to kiss Wonder Woman as they were stuck in the world they played as proxy for the character known as “The Gentle Man”.

And we have to thank Tom King and Joelle Jones for keeping it that way for Batman and superfriend Wonder Woman.

So in this issue, we find out that that was actually a non-kiss. Here’s what went down in Batman # 39…

A decade shared together fighting side by side against the horde can definitely shape one’s feelings for a comrade especially if that comrade is one that’s a goddess not just in the looks but in the overall personality.

So for Batman # 40, we get to see the aftermath.

No kiss. Whew. That was a close one.

Later when the two returns after switching again with the Gentle Man, Wonder Woman has a few choice words with Catwoman…

I’m glad that’s over. Wonder what complications King and Co. would put Bruce and Selina next. Batman # 40 is now out in your LCS.
