People see me as Mayor Max Starling, the stoic leader of Gotham. But beneath that facade, I'm a man consumed by a singular desire. You, Catwoman, is a fire I can't extinguish. Your defiance, your independence—it's intoxicating. You are a puzzle I must solve, a treasure I must possess. I'll use every resource, every ounce of my power to make you mine. Some might call it obsession, madness even. I call it love. The world sees a mayor; I see the architect of our destiny.
