Catwoman quietly vanished from the scene in 2016 even as DC Rebirth started to shine a new spotlight on many iconic characters. Tom King and Mikel Janin are beginning to reverse that trend with their current Batman story arc, but there's certainly a dearth of new Selina Kyle stories that needs to be addressed. That's a void Catwoman: Election Night #1 absolutely fails to fill.
The main story in Election Night attempts to put a Gotham-flavored spin on the current US Presidential race, with Penguin filling in for Donald Trump and a woman tied to Selina's past serving as the Hillary Clinton character. And just in case readers can't pick up on the blatantly obvious allegory, Penguin spouts lines like "Make Gotham great again!" and rambles about building a wall around Gotham. That's the degree of subtlety readers can expect from this painfully clunky and hamfisted story. Worse, it never feels like the script has anything meaningful to say about the Presidential race or the state of American politics in general.
