Selina
Kyle was found beaten and unconscious outside a convent.
The sisters called an ambulance. When she awakened,
a GCPD vice officer named Flannery gave her a card of
a man who could teach her how to take care of herself.
When she was released, she headed straight back to Stan,
her pimp and the man who beat her. He gave her a cat
costume and persuaded her to meet a man that night.
Selina began meeting with the man who she'd been sent
to by the cop - Ted Grant. She and Holly witnessed Batman
escaping the SWAT by using Bats. She plotted revenge
against Stan. |
