10 Batman Moments That Shocked The World

10. THAT Scene With Catwoman In The New 52

After DC had finished up the Flashpoint arc it decided to press the reset button and in doing so, launched the New 52 upon the world. This run would last nearly five years and would face a huge backlash.

There were a lot of reasons for this but the main argument seemed to be that for every Court of Owls or Death of the Family, there were some major missteps such as 'Convergence'. And things weren't helped at all by the first issue of Catwoman.

After her apartment was firebombed, Selina Kyle set out to find who was responsible. This led to a run in with some Russian gangsters and ended with her in a penthouse suite, bumping uglies with the Dark Knight.

Compared to what you can see in shows like Game of Thrones or American Gods it was pretty tame, but that didn't stop the internet having a collective meltdown when the book was released and, for once, it had a point.

There was no need for it. It did neither character any favors and seemed to be included just so DC could say "Well, this should prove we're not for kids".
