Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up Gotham City's sexiest cat burglar returns in a story featuring intrigue, fight scenes, and Catwoman in various stages of undress. While she spends most of the book in Italy, it seems that Gotham City is never far behind. She encounters such regulars as Cheetah, Mr. Freeze, The Scarecrow, and Batman, but questioning whether they are real or imaginary leaves her doubting her sanity. The fact that her meetings with Batman are filled with sexual tension so thick that you can cut it with a claw adds yet another dimension to her troubles. All of these events revolve around the heart of the story, which is that Catwoman goes to Italy both to settle a score with the Falcone crime family and to try to learn the identity of her mother. Bringing The Riddler with her on this trip turns out to be both an inspired choice and more trouble than it's worth. When in Rome takes places chronologically between two Batman stories by the same author/artist team: The Long Halloween (1999) and Dark Victory (2001, both DC Comics). Fans of those titles will definitely appreciate this one, but there is enough backstory included so that it isn't necessary to have read the other books. This page-turning adventure will fly off the shelves. Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

From Booklist

Loeb and Sale, who have graphic novels about the early exploits of some of DC's and Marvel's most iconic superheroes to their collaborative credit, turn to longtime Batman nemesis Catwoman, who was a bored socialite-turned-cat-burglar before she reformed to become protector of Gotham City's downtrodden. Now she jets to Rome, where she breaks into the Vatican to steal a valuable ring and comes up against the deadly Falcone crime family. Her real mission in Italy, however, doesn't become clear until the final pages. Like the monthly Catwoman in general, When in Rome is more an adult-oriented crime story than a superhero yarn, rather reminiscent of a stylish sixties European caper film, only with spandex outfits and secret identities. Loeb's plotline is appropriately knotty, and his dialogue, including Catwoman's first-person narration, is hardboiled-cum-smartass. Sale, one of comics' most elegant illustrators, here reaches new heights of stylishness (the six issue covers for the original serial, included here, are a tribute to a French fashion artist), aided by bold, moody coloring by Dave Stewart.

Wonderful, gorgeous tale of Selina Kyle searching for her family origin amongst criminals in Rome.

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023

This collection takes place during a period of time mentioned at the end of the original Dark Victory series, for it includes the 2 pages there of Selina Kyle, from B:DV13, where she visits Carmine "the Roman" Falcone's grave and says, "I spent six months in Italy trying to find a piece of paper that would prove what I believe is true." This book is that 6-month period.
-----------------------
What can I say but that I LOVED it. I did NOT care for the art in Dark Victory and this makes the necessary minor adjustments to improve the overall look, but more especially the look of Selina Kyle. Where she could appear crude, angular and near "crabbish" in DV, here she is the world-class beauty she needs to be, but in the noir-style so perfect for this story.

The work works because the story is tight and continuous, the number of characters is kept down & remains manageable, and it is BELIEVABLE. Nothing too outlandish or fantastic. Unless you count Catwoman having to battle Cheetah in the Vatican, which somehow seems perfetcly fitting to me.

And the ENDING has the necessary reveals, so there is a good solid conclusion, along with the necessary ambiguities, so the story continues the canon.

A purr-fect Catwoman story indeed.

An Honest Review

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2022

This is the companion piece to Long Halloween, and it is Loeb and Sale teaming up once more to make another great Bat Family story.

And, honestly, I do think that they are the best team that has ever written for Batman. Loeb knows how to tell a story, what is more he knows how to tell a detective story and a crime story, not just a superhero story. Sale knows how to capture the feel of Batman (even though I hate how he draws Catwoman, or at least I hate the mask and tail)... as much as I love his Riddler.

They hit at the emotional ques that Batman stories should, they manage to do a dark almost art deco world that could be both modern and antique. They know how to keep the mystery turning, and like Long Halloween, you have one of the best Bat stories with, IMHO, the best creative partnership for Batman.

The maxim of batman stories.

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2011

When in Rome is a series that fills the gaps in Batman's Dark Victory arc by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. It follows Catwoman as she travels to Rome with hopes of uncovering the truth of her relationship with the Falcone family. To assist her she has invited the riddler to tag along and offer his quick wit for piecing her puzzle together. It is a decent book. If you loved Dark Victory or The Long Halloween then this book is an added treat. The story is great, the dialogue is fantastic, and the art is as beautiful (as ever thanks to the great Tim Sale and Dave Stewart). I also enjoy being able to read a Batman related piece from the perspective of Catwoman. If you even need a reason to go over Dark Victory again then do it after having picked up this book. The only think that slightly caught me off guard was the way that Catwoman was constantly being put on display. She was constantly being caught without cloths on. It seemed as though one of the reoccurring conflicts in this story was the constant struggle to find cloths for herself. Now i'm going to stop, before this starts to sound like a huge complaint. But, for better or worse I feel like this topic is worth noting for those who are interested buyers. Even if you don't want to read it, its worth buying. haha.

One of the best solo Catwoman stories ever written. Fans who love 90's Selina Kyle will enjoy this alot.

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016

Loeb & Sale's "Catwoman: When in Rome" takes place in between their Batman: The Long Halloween & Batman: Dark Victory (new edition) graphic novels, but its not necessary to have read them previously (even though you should because they're great stories too) in order to enjoy this book. Selina Kyle, the feline femme fatale extraordinaire and the world's greatest thief, The Catwoman, journeys to Italy with fellow Rogues Gallery criminal, Eddie Nygma, The Riddler. While there she wants to learn about her own past while planning to steal a ring that's highly prized by Italy's Cosa Nostra. Of course, things don't become that simple for Selina and she becomes embroiled with a handsome Italian assassin, mobsters and super criminals seeking the same score she is. Fans of Selina Kyle's relationship with Bruce Wayne will not be disappointed since Catwoman can not seem to forget Batman, even while she's in Europe. I really loved the art work of Tim Sales here and unlike some comic book fans, I do enjoy a Catwoman who is drawn with beautiful long hair, drop dead gorgeous and voluptuous. Unlike many other Catwoman writers, Jeph Loeb perfectly captures Miss. Kyle's voice; she's confident, snarky and very sure of herself. A formidable character but also in a fun way instead of the noir, gritty style Catwoman is often saddled with. This really is a must read for all fans of Catwoman; especially those who prefer her as a thief. I'd even say casual readers of graphic novels could really appreciate this book.

Must for Catwoman fans

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2009

Verified Purchase

A companion piece to The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, this is a must for Catwoman fans.

Despite nearly 70 years in canon, Catwoman has never really had what could be considered a definitive origin. Add Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale to the long list of creators who offer us yet another glimpse into who Selina Kyle really is and how she came to be.

The story takes place during the events in Dark Victory (after Valentine's Day I presume). Selina goes to Rome to fill in the blanks about her parentage. For those who wonder why she was ever in Long Halloween/Dark Victory at all, this book provides the answer.

It's really a pleasure to read Jeph's Selina. Unlike Batman's other vapid and simpering loving interests, Selina Kyle is an interesting character in her own right, a hard-bitten anti-heroine who's smart and pragmatic, with a dry sense of humor she uses to alleviate the melodrama that is her life.

And Tim Sale's art alone is already worth the price of a hardcover. He draws a beautiful Selina without bothering to dampen her sex appeal. His Catwoman on the other hand is muscled and powerful, reminding me more of a jaguar or a panther than a kitten.

All in all, a very entertaining read. I've added this to my Absolute Long Halloween and Dark Victory hardcovers.

Historia regular con dibujo bueno y entintado brillante, aunque no te pierdes de gran cosa si no lo lees.

Reviewed in Mexico on November 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Esta historia es la continuación de Long Halloween y Dark Victory (ahora se enfoca en Catwoman), pero el guión se queda para mi gusto muy lejos del nivel de complejidad e intriga que muestran sus dos precuelas (no le pondría más de 2 o 3 estrellas). El dibujo lo considero entre bueno y muy bueno, y salvo algunos detalles mejor proporcionado que en las precuelas (muestra amplia mejoría). Lo más destacado, por mucho, es el entintado oscuro y sombrío, que nos regala en varios cuadros auténticas obras de arte. Soy muy fan de Batman, pero honestamente no te pierdes de gran cosa si no lees este cómic.

Avis sur l'édition originale en anglais.
Tim Sale et Jeph Loeb, le duo dynamique à qui nous devons les excellentissimes histoires de Batman "Le Long Halloween" et "Amère Victoire" (édités en français chez Urban Comics), nous gratifient ici d'une magnifique "side story" avec Catwoman. L'opus se situe chronologiquement entre "Halloween" et "Amère Victoire".
Tim Sale aborde ici ses planches avec des lavis gris que l'excellent coloriste Dave Stewart enrichit de sa brillante palette.
C'est à mon sens un des albums les plus réussis de Sale tant on sent qu'il maîtrise parfaitement ses personnages. Jeph Loeb au scénario fait preuve d'une belle inventivité pour nous faire voyager dans une Rome fantasmée et un humour omniprésent et rafraîchissant.
Un excellent comics à rajouter à votre bibliothèque de super-villains.

I didn't like the fact that the Riddler was like 5 foot nothing, but that was the creators choice so i can live with it. The story itself is amazing and definitely worth the read. The art is a little weird but then you get used to it.
