Thanks to the latest issue of DC Comics' Batman: The Knight, it seems as though Batman's attraction to Catwoman began long before Bruce Wayne became the Dark Knight (and even before he met Selina Kyle). While this new series has been detailing Bruce Wayne's earliest years training to be a vigilante, it's also revealed much more beyond the skills and knowledge he learned to one day become the Batman. Likewise, Bruce's inner struggles and even early romances are being explored as well.

In this new series from writer Chip Zdarksy and artist Carmine di Giandomenico, Bruce Wayne has decided to focus and channel his rage into fighting crime and bringing the worst the world has to offer to justice.

However, the City of Love also serves as a fitting location for Bruce to form a very particular attraction.
