This convinces Selina [[spoiler:to steal the Pit's formula so she can make one for Maggie herself]]. Even earlier, Selina noted that the League likes its trainees fighting each other when competing (including them throwing rocks at people ahead in hopes of slowing or stopping them), to weed out the weak so survival of the fittest takes place, saying (after learning about it in biology) they take Darwinism pretty far. It's also possibly their motive for plotting against Gotham, viewing it as corrupt, thus possibly weak and unfit to remain existing using their Social Darwinist philosophy.
* TattooedCrook: Selina and other Leopards get spot tattoos on their arms as a gang sign, with new spots each time they win fights. However, mostly she keeps them covered with long sleeves so they aren't recognized given the Leopards are known as a gang in Gotham and it could get Selina in trouble.

Luke first asks if he's okay, then demands he be given a blanket due to still being dripping wet from the rain outside. He then calls up a friend of his who's a lawyer who will represent the kid, hopefully exposing any illegality and or insure he's not simply railroaded through court, showing he's a compassionate, socially conscious man.

After years abroad, Selina Kyle returns to Gotham, pretending to be the rich heiress Holly Vanderhess. She's young, she's clever, she's dangerous.
Finding friends in Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, she plans to take on the whole city!
Meanwhile, Luke Fox, son of Lucius Fox, wants to prove to Bruce Wayne that he can handle being the only vigilante in the city. Soon, he clashes with the mysterious Catwoman and her friends.
And how is the League of Shadows involved in all of this?

!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Selina's mom is implied to be pretty abusive.
* AnimalMotifs: The cat for Selina, obviously. She also used to be part of the Leopards, a girl gang. And of course the Bat for Luke.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Well, Big Sister Instinct. Selina adores her little sister Maggie. [[spoiler:In the end, it turns out that everything Selina did was to save Maggie, who was incurably ill with cystic fribrosis, and could only be saved by a Lazarus Pit. She succeeds too.]]
* BiTheWay: Harley is introduced as Joker's ex, and has a casual relationship with Ivy.
* CommitmentIssues: Harley has them. Ivy is in love with her, but Harley doesn't want a relationship after what happened with the Joker.
* TheCommissionerGordon: The TropeNamer himself, in his usual role.
* DatingCatwoman: In a book about the TropeNamer, of course this trope shows up! Here it's Selina, obviously, and Luke, who are attracted to one another despite being on opposite sides.
* TheDreaded: The Joker. Everyone seems scared of him.
* FightClubbing: How Selina earns the money to take care of her little sister in the beginning of the book.
* FireForgedFriends: Selina and Ivy.
* TheGhost: Bruce Wayne never shows up, despite the book taking place in Gotham, and one of the main characters being his mentee and the other his comic girlfriend.
* GondorCallsForAid: [[spoiler:Selina calls her old friends among the Leopards to protect the hospital during the riot. They come at once.]]
* HappilyAdopted: Maggie Kyle, as arranged by Talia al Ghul as part of her deal with Selina. [[spoiler:Maggie's parents turn out to be two very nice men who adopted her despite knowing that she was likely to die soon, and who she loves very much.]]
* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:Luke when Selina temporarily dies.]]
* LoveCannotOvercome: [[spoiler:Ivy lets the police arrest Harley, despite being in love with her. At that point, however, Harley herself has realized that she needs help, and doesn't fight the police, either. Ivy expresses the hope the Harley can get the help she needs and really get better.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Commissioner Gordon, as usual.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Arguably Luke for Bruce, from a doylist perspective. In the comics, Selina and Bruce are of an age, and it's Bruce and Selina who have a romantic relationship. Luke and Selina are not particularly linked in the comics.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Selina betrayed the League and stole the things she needs for a Lazarus Pit in order to heal her terminally ill little sister Maggie.]]
* TheUnmasking: Selina realizes Batwings true identity when [[spoiler:she witnesses Luke have a panic attack very much like the one he had as Batwing earlier. Catwoman's identity is revealed [[spoiler:when she lets herself get arrested and brought to Arkham as part of her plan.]] Also, Luke realizes [[spoiler:that Holly Vanderhess is actually Selina Kyle when he sees the a girl gang guard a hospital during the Joker's outbreak.]]
