relationship with Selina in his past, as well as comparing that relationship with Terry's and the current Ten of the Royal Flush Gang. As in the comic books, sexual tension between their costumed characters is a major story point in Batman: The Animated Series. In the comic book adaption Batman: Gotham Adventures #33, the Phantom Stranger shows Bruce a world where he never became Batman, married Selina and had two sons. In Batman: the Brave and the Bold, Batman and Catwoman marry in an alternate future and she is the mother of Damian. However this future is later revealed to have all been a story written by Alfred Pennyworth. After The New 52, as it is Selina's early days as Catwoman she does not yet know Batman's identity, though it is evident they engaged in sexual intercourse.
