Issue Details

Synopsis

NUN BETTER! Driving through Gotham City and even catching a glimpse of the new Batman, a group of Japanese truckers led by Chiba, are delivering flowers to a newly opened florist shop. One of them, a young man named Hikaru soon has the shop up and running. His first customer is an elderly woman, who is actually Catwoman in disguise.  After purchasing the flowers, she heads to the local Catholic church to draw out a new gang who call themselves the Lost Souls. The Lost Souls are committing hate crimes against churchgoers under their leader, Lucifer, but Catwoman's motive is revenge--the gang put a nun who feeds the local stray cats in the hospital.   Outside the church, she is greeted by a nun named Sister Hana, who is now feeding the cats in the injured Magdalene's stead. Catwoman "mislays" her purse to try and draw the gang out, but the sister sees it and tries to give it back to her, only to run into the gang herself. Catwoman is prepared to deal with the gang personally, but Hikaru, still believing she is an old woman begs her not to get involved. Catwoman removes her disguise, and she and Hikaru start to tussle.   Meanwhile, Sister Hana proves she is not an average nun when she takes on the gang members with her martial arts skills.   Hana is outnumbered, but help arrives in the form of young Japanese boy on roller skates named Genji. Chiba tells Hikaru to stop fighting with Catwoman as she is there to help, and Catwoman prevents Genji from being shot by Lucifer. Together, they chase the gang towards Chiba's flower truck, where Cousin Jethro, a very large man, takes them out.   As it turns out, the nuns of the church looked after Hana and Genji when they were kids and they were also there attempting to protect the nuns from the Lost Souls. As sirens are heard in the distance, the truckers hightail it to Metropolis, and leaving Catwoman laughing about the whole situation.
