Remember when Catwoman was The Shit? And then this happened...And eventually this...Yeah.Well, Gotham Underground is sort of like that. Volumes one and two rocked my socks off! They were fun, action-packed, clever, and sexy. Oh yeah!And then Nocenti happened.So why did I put myself through yet another one of her garbage titles? Mostly, because I love Catwoman. But, also, because I kept thinking that she couldn't possibly fuck up any worse that she did the last time. It had to be just a little bi...

Bunch of new characters and a new setting - good. Yet another silly living fire villain - bad.

(C+) 67% | Almost SatisfactoryNotes: An alley cat, all hiss no roar, an I-just-want-it-over chore, it offers naught but noisy plot: a lame, low-luster, lazy bore.

I've heard alot of positive things about Ann Nocenti but, man, the writing here was just atrocious.

The two stars is for the artwork. Not the writing. I just havent liked anything by Ann Nocenti. The more I read, the worse it got.

So this is what the new 52 has brought us. The Penquin is the real ruler of Gotham, he can attack a hold section of the city with gunships and the "goverment" stands aside. Gotham was never the great tourist attaction, but now it is hell on earth. Most of the action and interest takes place under the city, which now is vast network of tunnels, different tribes of lost people and one interesting character. A scared teenage runnaway who has taken on the mantle and Face of the The Joker. Great back...

Thes best in the series! Joker's Daughter is creepy as hell.

Certainly one of the most entertaining comics I've read so far. I love "world below the city" stories and this one has whole weird societies living underneath Gotham in their very own world. Interesting villains I've never seen before like Doctor Phosphorus, Tinderbox or Joker's daughter (even if it seems a bit strained that the most important characters in this story are female because the protagonist is). Love the art style, the dark atmosphere, the story and of course Catwoman with her awesom...

More meandering... Honestly only half paid attention through this so yea... The whole plot with Selina helping the JLA just went nowhere... What was she after and why did she work with them? And Black Mask was pathetic...The demon Escalate is back and she ends up killing him, and possibly his host... Where is her emotional toll from that? Did he live? No clue... This leads to a gang war with Penguin who is also rather pathetic here.This leads to the underground once he blows a hole to it and Sel...

Well, I didn't hate this one as much as the previous volume at least, so that's an improvement. But the dialogue in these issues is so nonsensical and disconnected that it makes every issue a chore to read. The artwork is great, and the concept behind the stories is actually quite good, but it's hard to appreciate either of them when every word I read makes me want to hurt myself.

Doctor Phosphorus! It's always a pleasure when he shows up. Also, Joker's Daughter in this one, possibly setting up some future Bat-lines. Interesting...

Nocenti strikes again with even a worse story. Will somebody cut off 2 of her fingers so she can’t write anymore. Catwoman used to be such a badass until this tart started writing for DC.

The story was complete and utter nonsense and totally out of character for Catwoman. Worst of all, how could the author genuinely think that it was okay to write about an entire underground cluster of civilizations living underneath Gotham City that somehow Batman knows nothing about? It was a bad book on so many different levels.

I really don't get Ann Nocenti's writing. Sorry, True Believers, but I know she's going somewhere stringing all these words together, but the tangents and veering and weird directions just lose me.

Nocenti has a longstanding reputation in comics, especially with Marvel (she came up with the Mojoverse) so I was looking forward to her run on Catwoman now that Winick had moved on after setting up a strong title for the titular thief.What it resulted in is an absolute mess. A broad cast of characters that lacked nuance of chemistry, a rambling and jumping storyline that hoped around all over the place and a start stop attitude towards the plot and character introduction. It was absolutely medi...

I liked this volume better than the previous volume, but it's still light years away from the first 2 volumes in quality. This volume featured Catwoman vs. Penguin, and also introduced The Joker's Daughter, who is supposed ot end up a fairly major character in the DCU. This volume just dragged. It wasn't horrible, just seemed to take forever to get through. I would recommend this only for die hard Catwoman fans, or for those who want to see what's up with the Joker's Daughter. Don't expect anyth...

I'm being kind with the three star rating.

Catwoman: Gotham Underground picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting six issues (Catwoman #20–24 and 26) of the 2011 on-going series with Catwoman Annual #1 and Batman: The Dark Knight #23.4 and collects eight semi-interconnecting one-issue stories.Selina Kyle as Catwoman faces many antagonists in this trade paperback. Teaming up with the Justice League of America they go against Jeremiah Arkham and the Secret Society (Catwoman #19). On her own, she takes on Oswald Cobblepot as t...

Ugh! Where to start with this book? This is going to be spoiler-ish, but it's not like I'm going to ruin anything good. Writer Ann Nocenti's story starts off showingsome of the same events that happen in Justice League of America, Volume 1: World's Most Dangerous. Catwoman is a member of The JLA, without the public knowing it. She feigns capture by the JLA in order to get put in Arkham Asylum so she can attract the attention of the Secret Society and infiltrate them. In the JLA book, they never

Ok, this whole album was just a mess. The story could be interesting, but there was so much back and forth, some storylines seemed to drop out of nowhere, and somehow everyone knew who everyone was the moment they met each other.And despite everything going on, I was bored. The whole album felt like such a drag.I usually don't give 1 stars, but here I did. There was nothing good about this album, not compared to the other ones.I will be reading the next - and last - album, though, if only so I c...
