Selina Kyle starts having second thoughts as she believes Bruce Wayne, is still a broken and hurt boy deep down, who is defined by his trauma and tragedy. She fears that a happy Bruce would be the end of Batman, and of Gotham and decides to call off the wedding, according to an  Entertainment Weekly report. Explaining this in a note, she writes, “To save the world, heroes make sacrifices. My sacrifice is my life. It’s you.” The last page of the comic reveals that Bane, Batman’s longtime enemy, masterminded this event to break the Dark Knight, the Entertainment Weekly report added. According to King, this will unravel over the next 50 issues.
