Catwoman Joins Dark Knights of Steel IIThe main cover for Dark Knights of Steel II #6, illustrated by Yasmine Putri, shows Catwoman in an agile midair pose. She wears a sleek blueish-black and pinkish-purple costume, wields a whip, and carries a satchel with jewels spilling out. The cover also depicts her holding the crown that was placed on Prince Bruce Wayne's head in Putri's cover for the previous issue, Dark Knights of Steel II #5.However, it is not guaranteed that she steals the crown from Prince Bruce or that the crown belongs to him. The solicitation describes her as a mysterious and beautiful thief who breaks General Amanda Waller out of imprisonment, likely from the El palace dungeons. In that dungeon, Waller and Dr. Elizabeth Arkham are currently brewing monstrosities.The solicitation for Dark Knights of Steel II #6 reads: Old enemies form new alliances in this thrilling mid-series climax. On the hunt for former Commander of the El Kingdom Amanda Waller, Prince Bruce finds himself tangled up with the mysterious and beautiful thief who engineered the jailbreak. Meanwhile, a freshly crowned King Victor Falcone seeks a dangerous new alliance with the vicious tyrant beneath the waves.New Twists in Dark Knights of Steel LoreIt remains unclear whether the character will be called Catwoman. A more likely naming convention in this universe could be the Cat or the Cat-Princess, given that Batman is referred to as the Bat-Prince. She might also be named Selina Kyle but secretly be a Falcone, specifically the daughter of King Carmine Falcone.Dark Knights of Steel II introduces Prince Victor Falcone, an original iteration of the Batman villain Victor Zsasz. He is Carmine's son and the heir to the throne of the Blüdhaven Isles. According to the solicitation, Prince Victor will soon become King Victor and replace Waller as the main antagonist, at least until Emperor Black Manta appears.This could be an opportunity for Dark Knights of Steel II to introduce Catwoman with a backstory that includes royal blood. If King Victor is overthrown or killed by the end of the sequel series, Catwoman could inherit the throne as Queen Selina of the Blüdhaven Isles.Expanding the Dark Knights of Steel UniverseDark Knights of Steel reimagines classic DC characters in a medieval fantasy setting. For example, Batman is half-Kryptonian and possesses the same powers and weaknesses as Superman. The series continues to add new characters to its lore, and Catwoman's arrival brings a long-awaited figure into the fold.Fans of the series have anticipated Catwoman's inclusion, and her role as a thief who frees Waller adds intrigue to the ongoing conflict. The mid-series climax of Dark Knights of Steel II #6 sets up shifting alliances and new threats, including the emergence of King Victor Falcone and the looming presence of Emperor Black Manta.Dark Knights of Steel II #6 will be released on December 16, 2026.
