PostCrisis, Catwoman got a revamp in the BatmanYearOne storyline (1987), which established a new background for Selina. As a former prostitute who learned martial arts and the art of burglary to improve her life. She got a mini-series of her own in 1989. Then a regular Catwoman series started in September, 1993. From the [[TheNineties 1990s]] until 2008, Catwoman featured in an eponymous series that cast her as an anti-hero rather than a supervillain. In 2009 this was replaced with a ''Gotham City Sirens'' title that put her in a morally-ambiguous team with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. In 2011 this was dropped and a new ongoing ''Catwoman'' title began as part of the {{New 52}} universe-wide revamp.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: Even as an AntiHero she tends to do some ethically questionable things, but she's got nothing on [[CompleteMonster some of the villains she goes up against]].

* ThouShaltNotKill: Averted. Catwoman really doesn't have any moral objections to killing CompleteMonster foes.

The character turned popular again and revival in the comic books soon followed. Starting with '''Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane''' #70 (November, 1966). Where she uses magic to turn ''Comicbook/{{Superman}}'' into a cat. LoisLane then gets to fight Catwoman to rescue her love interest. Regular adventures of this version continued to the [[TheEighties 1980s]]. With an Earth-One version of Catwoman firmly established, the DC staff then reintroduced the original as part of the Earth-Two AlternateUniverse. Or at least its backstory.

Her daughter Helena Wayne, donned the cape of the {{Huntress}} to avenge her death.
