the first one is a Catwoman book by Elizabeth Hand
Can one hope this is not a tie-in with the Halle Berry abomination coming our way?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Art Crawl!!!
It is -- sadly -- but isn't it bound to be better than the movie? I mean, it couldn't possibly be worse, right?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I don't know. I rarely ever like comic book novels.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Elizabeth Hand's original work is sometimes interesting, sometimes a trainwreck, sometimes an interesting trainwreck.
Her novelizations, I am told, are drek.

Well, considering the movie is severing all ties to anything Batman related, I wouldn't seek it out as a Bat-novel.

Thrive to spite them
How can a Catwoman movie have nothing to do with Batman?? Why call it Catwoman. Why not make a movie about...I dunno...Mistress Meow.

That which does not kill you should RUN
Call me (I'm on the right).... Mistress Meow!

Because the executives have been digging into the monkey crack again?
The only thing I can see is that because they are doing a new Batman movie they want to avoid any confusion/link between the two.
That, or Halle demanded it for some reason.

I can do this all day
I rarely ever like comic book novels.
I get a kick out of Elliot S! Maggin's stuff. His Superman books Last Son of Krypton and Miracle Monday are good cheesy fun. And his novelization of Kingdom Come was good as well.

You've never read any of Alan Dean Foster's novellizations, have you?
