A massive power failure in Gotham City offers Selina Kyle a chance to execute her most ambitious robbery. DC Comics' upcoming release, Catwoman #91, features a high-stakes confrontation with the immortal Vandal Savage.
Selina Kyle's transition from Falcone's penthouse to Vandal Savage's lair
Selina Kyle is currently residing in Carmine Falcone's penthouse, where she has been experiencing a sense of restlessness and boredom. As reported by Bleeding Cool, the character has been lounging in luxury, reading newspapers and receiving messages, before the chaos of a citywide blackout shifts her focus toward professional burglary.
The target of this new mission is the heavily guarded home of Vandal Savage , an ancient and immortal warlord. This heist represents a significant escalation in risk for the thief, moving from standard Gotham criminal circles to the doorstep of a man who has lived for thousands of years.
The creative team behind the September 16 release
DC Comics will release Catwoman #91 on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The issue features a collaborative effort from a specialized creative team, including writer Torunn Grønbekk and artist Danilo Beyruth.
The visual presentation of the darkened Gotham streets will be supported by inker Joe Prado and colorist Patricio Delpeche. according to the preview, the story utilizes the atmospheric tension of a power grid failure to drive the narrative forward, placing Selina Kyle in a position where she must exploit the city's disarray for personal gain.
Project Ivory Tower and the threat to global electric vehicle networks
The narrative framework provided in the preview introduces a concept known as "Project Ivory Tower," a scheme involving a coordinated blackout across global power grids.. This meta-narrative element suggests a much larger technological threat than a simple local outage.
This scheme reportedly seeks to exploit a backdoor within the world's electric vehicle charging networks to seize control of digital infrastructure. By orchestrating widespread darkness, the entity behind the project aims to slip into servers, satellites,and smart-home devices while humanity is distracted by the immediate crisis.
The mystery of Sam and the blackout's true origin
Several specific details regarding the characters and the cause of the blackout remain unveirfied. The preview mentions that Selina has been receiving texts from an individual named Sam, but the identity and intentions of this person are not explained.
Furthermore, it remains unclear if the Gotham blackout is a natural occurrence or a direct result of the "Project Ivory Tower" infrastructure attack. While the report links the two through thematic parallels ,the exact connection between the local outage and the global digital threat is still an open question for readers.
