- Synopsis
- Catwoman is greatly outclassed by Zeiss. While mercilessly beating Catwoman, Zeiss explains his backstory.
Zeiss stabs Catwoman, who collapses and is on the brink of death. Suddenly, Zeiss is stabbed from behind by the Beti-Ma warriors and Selina passes out from the fatigue of battle.
Holly and Slam track the fight to an East End rooftop. They find Batman investigating the scene. Selina is gone and all that is left is a pool of her blood on the ground and a broken pigeon coop.
