Could Skeets, the android and sidekick of Booster Gold, be involved in a conspiracy against Batman?
Warning: Spoilers in front for Batman # 50, released this week
Last night we commented that the Batman Flashpoint seems to have joined Bane, which was a surprise in itself, but the # Adding Skeets to the group is confusing.
In the last pages of Batman # 50, titled "The Marriage of Batman and Catwoman", Catwoman realizes that Batman "needs his misery" to be Batman, and cancels their marriage. After that, it seems that everything – romance, commitment and cancellation – was part of Bane's grander plan to "break" Batman again.
The plan seems to encompass almost all writers Tom King said again with Batman, and all the Gotham Girl antagonists up to The Joker and The Riddler.
