The past few months of Tom King's Batman run have thoroughly made up for Catwoman's early absence in the DC Rebirth lineup. Batman #15 wraps up King's brief collaboration with Mitch Gerads, as "Rooftops" ends with a fitting tribute to the beautiful but doomed romance that is Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle.
Gerads somehow manages to impress even more in this issue than he did with Batman #14. His striking use of color has a lot to do with it. His Gotham City is bathed in an ethereal blue glow, but one now bathed in creeping sunlight as Batman and Catwoman's last night comes to a close. The color becomes equally crucial during a very well-executed flashback scene as each character recounts a different version of their first meeting. Bruce recollects the events of 1940's Batman #1, and so Gerads' art shifts to a very convincing approximation of Bob Kane's. Selina, meanwhile, recalls their much more violent first encounter in Batman: Year One. Here again, Gerads alters his style to mimic David Mazzucchelli's gritty work. That Gerads can dance from one mode to the next so effortlessly on the same page speaks volumes about his talent.
