The suit is heavily insulated to protect from heat, cold and electricity. In addition to the standard clawed gloves, her boots each possess extendable blades to aid in climbing and fighting.
The body suit and goggles are adapted straight from the comics. The difference is that in the comics, she has a “mask” that leaves her face uncovered except for the goggles, so her cowl is really just to cover the back and sides of her head, and to sport the ears on top.
As Bob Kane, the character's co-creator (along with Bill Finger) wrote in his 1989 autobiography, Batman & Me, "We knew we needed a female nemesis to give the strip sex appeal," adding, "cats are cool, detached, unreliable [...] cats are hard to understand, they are erratic, as women are."
Casting directors surely faced a dilemma when it came to who would play Catwoman in Batman Returns. Since her origin story provided in 'Her Sister's Keeper', Catwoman was presumably a mixture of Latino and white, but the last visual representation of Catwoman on the small screen was Black.
Selina Kyle/Catwoman is often depicted as bisexual in the comics, but the character's LGBTQ sexuality has never crossed over onto the big screen in iterations of the character played by Eartha Kitt, Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway.
The series also told her tragic backstory, with Catwoman's parents having died when she was a child, with her mother dying by suicide and her father from alcohol poisoning; Carlton in the series's 81st issue added to it, depicting her mother as a dark-skinned Latina, making Catwoman a half-Latina.
Through her aggression, deceitfulness, theft, and serious violation of rules, Selina displays traits of conduct disorder, the childhood precursor to antisocial personality disorder. This could mean she's on a somewhat familiar trajectory.
Catwoman is afraid of being a “damsel in distress” being unable to defend herself, of depending on Batman to save her. These images are from Catwoman (1993) #60.
Batman #62 (December 1950) reveals that Catwoman was an amnesiac flight attendant who turned to crime after suffering a prior blow to the head during a plane crash she survived. She reveals this in the Batcave after being hit on the head by a piece of rubble while saving Batman while he was chasing her.
In the comic books, is Catwoman good or a villain? More anti-hero than anything. Though, unlike most, she doesn't kill if she can help it (meaning, unlike many of Gotham's criminals, she's not a murderous psychopath or sociopath). Though lately, she is leaning more towards hero than criminal.
Catwoman wears a skintight catsuit with a cat helmet that is accompanied with a pair of spy goggles with red lenses which are always covering her eyes. There is also a choker with a cat pendant attached to the helmet. Catwoman's suit includes a zipper that shows her cleavage and sports a collar on the top back.
Sometimes, her suits also included a tail - though her recent suits have largely eliminated this element. One suit was even white during the '90s in an adventure with Azrael. This era skipped out on the cape that was so common with Catwoman's earlier styles, leaving it in the past where it has stayed ever since.
In Tim Burton's Batman Returns, Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman opposite Michael Keaton's Batman. Annette Bening was originally cast in the role, but she had to drop out of filming due to her pregnancy. A number of stars were reportedly up for the role, including Cher and Madonna, but it eventually went to Pfeiffer.
Unlike Batman's, Catwoman's suit didn't necessarily, have a fair amount of either defensive or offensive qualities. It was neither knife-proof nor bulletproof, which made the suit purely cosmetic, though that was possibly in an effort to make her moves faster.
The Earth 43 version of Catwoman is also a kind of werewolf, making her one of the most powerful versions of Catwoman in the comics. She has superhuman strength, speed, and senses, all of which make her a powerful opponent for the Batman of her universe.
Batman could take Catwoman easy under most conditions but he might let her win under some circumstances. I think the toughest thing with this one is taking the feelings into account, for sure! Bat would win in skill but Cat does have that manipulation she used many time on bats successfully.
Everyone knows Harley Quinn as the Jokers' girl, but how did she become Harley Quinn? Personality Disorder, specifically, Histrionic Personality Disorder plays a key part in Harley Quinn's life.
Her catlike appearance has led media outlets to nickname her "Catwoman", "The Lion Queen", and "The Bride of Wildenstein". She denies having excessive plastic surgery, citing her Swiss heritage, but admitted to a multi-million dollar surgery to make her eyes more cat-like which she did with her husband.
For starters, Langley asserts that Batman, despite popular opinion, does not have a mental illness. The Dark Knight exhibits some symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, but not enough to warrant a formal diagnosis.
But in December 1967, the network exercised some colorblind casting, with singer-actress Eartha Kitt taking over as the program's final Catwoman. “Catwoman's Dressed to Kill” marked Eartha Kitt's debut as the first black Catwoman (though she appeared in an uncredited tease at the end of the previous episode).
Catwoman has a long history in Gotham City as Batman's classic anti-heroine femme fatale, but The Batman avoided using her iconic moniker and simply referred to her as Selina Kyle. In the comics and on screen, Selina has been a central figure in Bruce Wayne's life.
