dc - Has Catwoman been to the Batcave before New 52?


I ran into this blog post about "Forever Evil #4", which shows Selena in the Batcave, with a 1-line text "This would be the first time Batman brought Catwoman to the Batcave in the New 52 timeline".


Does that mean that Catwoman has been inside the Batcave prior to the New 52?


I'm only interested in similar situations to the one in the issue being reviewed:



  • Catwoman is conscious

  • She is aware that she's in the Batcave

  • Comics only (no films, animated series or games).



Answer




Yes, a frankly astonishing number of times




  • A screencap from 1983's Detective Comics #526 indicates that Catwoman managed to get into the Batcave to have a catfight1 with Talia:

    She comes back a couple more times in the course of that issue, and the ease with which she gets in suggests that she'd been there before




  • In "The Stalking", a text story by Grant Morrison published in Batman UK Annual 1986, Catwoman again manages to sneak into the cave. Obviously Batman didn't really invest in a decent security system until the 90s





  • Batman invites her in 2002's Batman: Hush, which is also the story arc where Batman reveals his secret identity to Catwoman:

  • She was down there a couple of times in the JLA: Crisis of Conscience storyline, published in 2005




  • I found the following screenshot online, which appears to depict Batman and Catwoman in the Batcave together, but I don't know what issue it's from; since Batman isn't wearing his cowl, it's presumably either elswhere in the multiverse (Earth-2, maybe?) or post-Hush


    enter image description here





  • While it's arguable whether this is post-New 52 or not, she was also brought to the Batcave in Batman '66 #1 (2013), though she was unconscious for the trip:

1 Catfight, lol

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
