Catwoman you are under arrest
ah everything worth what welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll explore
the comic book origins of Catwoman as
with most comic book characters there
are often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
of Selina Kyle
Catwoman’s first and most popular
identity which was introduced in Batman
number one and expanded on in Detective
Comics and Catwoman the series born in
Gotham City
Selina’s early life was filled with
tragedy in her youth her mother
committed suicide and her father drank
himself to death shortly afterward
calling the police for help she decided
to pack her bags and run away before the
police could arrive living on the
streets and surviving through petty
crime she eventually used her sharp wits
and amazing natural ability as a gymnast
to become the slickest cat burglar the
police department had ever seen starting
out as an unknown thief by night and pet
store owner by day she shared her
ill-gotten gains with Gotham’s poor
calling herself the cat her status as a
villain remained ambiguous due to her
moral code which often stopped her from
committing murder when Batman arrived in
Gotham and began investigating her
activities she quickly found herself
smitten with the Caped Crusader he
returned the romantic feelings but was
conflicted by his role as a crime
fighter this led him to let her escape
on a regular basis she’s a very
beautiful very enthralling woman Robin
when you get a little older you’ll see
how easy it is to become lured by the
female of the species meanwhile Batman’s
appearance in Gotham gave her the idea
to take on a costume of her own she
donned a mask which had the startling
appearance of a real
hat with this new theatrical persona she
became one of Batman’s regular foes a
short time later the authorities and
criminals alike began referring to her
as the Catwoman and this led Selina to
change her criminal identity embracing
the change she began wearing less
literal costumes he’s included a dress
with a hood then a bodysuit with
razor-sharp claws and goggles built into
her head mask after years of tangling
with Batman she convinced him that she
had suddenly recovered memories from
amnesia suffered earlier on in her tale
she claimed to have been a regular
stewardess that was involved in a plane
crash which caused her brain trauma
leading her to take on a life of crime
believing her they teamed up for a short
while until it was revealed that she was
only experimenting with the idea of
reformation a dark and mysterious
creature of the night
this conniving love interest of Batman
has appeared countless times in the
comics television and film her most
popular portrayals were in the 1960s
television series where several
actresses portrayed her and 1992’s
Batman Returns in which she was played
by a leather-clad Michelle Pfeiffer meow
in later years the character was
rehashed for the silver screen in the
uninspired spin-off film Catwoman
before being chosen for a more faithful
and mature film adaptation appearing in
2012’s The Dark Knight Rises I mean it’s
me and you against the world
oh what about Robin but I haven’t killed
painlessly
