While in the past we learned from Batman / Catwoman # 3 how the twisted alliance between the Dark Knight and the criminal cat came about, in the present we see the danger of Phantasm knocking on Selina Kyle's door. In the future, however, the focus will be on the relationship between her, who is now old, and her daughter, Helena Wayne.

Instead of the cape, Helena also uses the advantage Wings that expand and retreat: a tribute to the Batman Beyond series.
In the series of the year, the new and old Dark Knight met in Future State: The Next Batman.
