Catwoman #14 (HERE BE SPOILERS!)

Man, these Catwoman issues just don't make a lick of sense.  The whole point of Joker's chess-piece game last issue seems to have been to prove that Catwoman was a hero, not a villain.  But, I'm not really sure why he needed to prove that?  Was it to prod Selina to accept what I think his offer is, to break Batman's heart?  By chastising her for coming too much like him, hoping that she'd be eager to prove that she was really a villain?  If so, despite claiming throughout the issue that his little black-book tells him everything that he needs to know about Selina, Joker clearly doesn't know her at all.  Of course, most of this issue has little to do with Joker trying to get Selina to join him in breaking up the Bat-family and instead feels like a bad "Saw" movie as he invents new ways to torture her.  It's all a little too "women in refrigerators" for my taste.  I'm just glad I don't have to read this title anymore.
