Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman#4 isn’t set to release until June 09, 2025, but its main cover and official synopsis have already caught fans’ attention by promising a BatCat wedding redo. The synopsis reads,“You are cordially invited to the wedding of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, again?!It’s the big day for our lovebirds, but what’s a DC wedding without a little crisis?”
In addition to this clear confirmation that a wedding between Bruce and Selina is taking place, the main cover by Belén Ortega features a youngLizzie in her Robin costumeand cat ear headband.She’s shown playfully making the wedding cake toppers of Bruce and Selina kiss, as if they were her personal dolls.
However, both the synopsis and the cover suggest that this won’t be a picture-perfect ceremony. The synopsis hints at an impending crisis, while the cover shows the wedding cake partially destroyed. Still, that doesn’t mean the event will fall apart completely, andfans have reason to stay hopeful that this time, the vows might actually be exchanged.

A Future Marriage for Batman & Catwoman Might Lock Out Other Writers
Tom King’s Future BatCat Wedding Could Reshape DC Canon in a Big Way
If King does follow through with the BatCat wedding, it will be a particularly bold move on his part as a writer, as he would be locking in a lore-changing development for Selina and Bruce that takes place seven years in the future. This would prevent other writers from exploring a marriage betweenCatwomanandBatmanin the present, which some fans may find problematic.
