  I love how Queen and Bruce both point out this is happening fast and won’t last, and Terry and Melanie’s response is basically - <br>‘Excuse me, we’re on desperate teen time - it’s like dog years to dog years.’

  A girl who wanted to be more than what was expected of her?<br><br>Ace would be proud.

  Something that always stuck with me was how toxic both of Melanie&apos;s parents are. &nbsp;The dad is obviously abusive and controlling but Queen is just as bad but is more subtle about it. &nbsp;She approaches her daughter with open arms and listens to her problem but tells her to forget about it since a career criminal needs to be her husband. &nbsp;This is so callous and manipulative. &nbsp;No mother should want her kid to marry a professional crook.

  A side note but I love how Bruce shows a bit of humility when the obvious &quot;told you so&quot; moment came about at the end of Dead Man&apos;s Hand. Showing that even Bruce had his flaws and he knew about them. Loving certain criminals was something even the OG batman did from time to time.

  If I&apos;m being honest, Melanie was a better Catwoman to Terry&apos;s Batman than the actual DCAU Catwoman was to Bruce&apos;s Batman.

  The wonderful thing about Melanie in her final episode is that she’s given up on getting together with Terry, but she’s still determined to live a normal life. &nbsp;Her motivations for reforming aren’t to impress anyone; she just wants to be a better person.

  Man when a lot of people talk about a character who barely appears in the show, but has left a huge impact on the show.<br><br>I really hope we see more of Melanie

  The relationship between Terry and Melanie was not shallow, but it was tragic. Melanie just wanted acceptance and unconditional love, two things she would never receive from her own family. She truly wanted to be with Terry, but her misguided loyalty to her family ultimately ruined it. At least she got a happy ending, finally walking away from her family for good and starting a new life. It is a shame that she was never able to reconcile with Terry. <br>People always talk about Mel, but they never talk about Jack and how he endured most of the abuse from their father (mostly physical). The fact that Jack ultimately becomes the new king in the spin-off comics shows how toxic the walker family influence is. Melanie escaped from the shadow of the Royal Flush Gang, but Jack could not.

  I always liked Melanie, she’s a complex character with a complete and believable character arc. I really wish she would’ve been Terry’s permanent love interest.

  She’s a ‘perfect 10’

  Broke my heart when Terry threw the note away.
