28	-> ''Well. What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a pretty girl before?''
29	-->-- Her response, after Batman catches her for the first time, in ''Batman #1'' (1940) written by Creator/BillFinger.

31	Catwoman is a fictional character associated with Creator/DCComics' ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' franchise. Historically a supervillain, the character first appeared as '''The Cat''' in ''Batman'' #1, which means she shares her status as the second-oldest of Batman's long-term RoguesGallery with [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]], who was introduced that same issue. The code name Cat-Woman (sic) and the first of her cat-suits were introduced in issue #2. Her civilian identity of Selina Kyle wasn't introduced until ''Batman'' #62 (December 1950).
32
33	The character had regular appearances in the Batman titles for much of the Golden Age, both as a villain and as a reformed criminal (or at least attempting to reform). She disappeared from the franchise for over a decade in ''ComicBook/DetectiveComics'' #211 (September, 1954), for fears that her depiction violated the recently introduced [[MediaNotes/TheComicsCode Comics Code]]. In 1966, over a decade later, the character was revived for the ''Series/{{Batman\|1966}}'' television series.
34
35	The character turned popular again and revival in the comic books soon followed, starting with ''ComicBook/SupermansGirlFriendLoisLane'' #70 (November, 1966), in which she uses magic to turn ComicBook/{{Superman}} into a cat, prompting [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] 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. According to ''DC Super-Stars'' #17 (November, 1977), the Golden Age Catwoman eventually married Batman. She was killed while performing OneLastJob. Her daughter, Helena Wayne, donned the cape of the [[Characters/BatmanHuntress Huntress]] to avenge her death.
36
37	ComicBook/PostCrisis, Catwoman got a revamp in the ''ComicBook/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 (with a brief gap around the turn of the century), Catwoman featured in an eponymous series that cast her as an anti-hero rather than a supervillain. In 2009 this was replaced with a ''ComicBook/GothamCitySirens'' 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 (again casting her as more of an anti-hero than a villain) began as part of the ComicBook/{{New 52}} universe-wide revamp. She did not get a solo title in the initial ComicBook/DCRebirth set of series, but her latest series then began in 2018.
38
39	Outside of the comics, the character has featured in a multitude of Batman-related media. She was a recurring villain in the iconic Adam West ''Series/{{Batman\|1966}}'' series, famously portrayed by several different actresses including Creator/JulieNewmar and Creator/EarthaKitt. She was a major character in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and appeared as a villain in both ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''. The character was featured in ''Bat Man of Shanghai'', a series of {{Wuxia}}-inspired AlternateUniverse shorts on the WesternAnimation/DCNation block that [[RaceLift reimagined Catwoman as a Chinese thief]] in the [[TheGreatDepression 1930s]]. For the AnimatedAdaptation of ''Batman: Year One'', she was voiced by Creator/ElizaDushku. Camren Bicondova plays a young Selina, a street kid mostly known by the nickname "Cat", in the series Series/{{Gotham}}.
40
41	On the film front, the character was played by Creator/LeeMeriwether in TheMovie [[Film/BatmanTheMovie of the Adam West series]], then in a more supernatural interpretation by Creator/MichellePfeiffer in the 1992 film ''Film/BatmanReturns''. In 2004, a standalone ''Film/{{Catwoman\|2004}}'' movie starring Creator/HalleBerry was released, but the movie was a flop that had [[InNameOnly little in common]] with the comic character. She's been played by Creator/AnneHathaway in 2012's ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', although she's only ever named on screen as "Selina Kyle" and "The Cat", with the name "Catwoman" only being used in merchandise and other supplemental materials - perhaps to [[OldShame sever ties from the aforementioned Halle Berry flop]] or possibly just because of the trend in both the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' that ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames. She is portrayed by Creator/ZoeKravitz in Creator/MattReeves' 2022 ''Film/{{The Batman\|2022}}'', opposite Creator/RobertPattinson's Bruce Wayne; she previously voiced the character in ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie''.
42
43	She has also appeared in numerous video games, specifically featuring as a playable character in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'', both ''VideoGame/LegoBatman'' games, The ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'', and ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}''.
44
45	The character has been one of Batman's most enduring love interests, and is seen as [[OneTruePairing the most natural one to him]] to the point that she and Batman were once engaged to be married.
46
47	Many modern writers have also interpreted her activities and costumed identity as a response to a history of abuse.

58
59	Catwoman's pal Holly "[[Literature/BreakfastAtTiffanys Go-Nightly]]" Robinson first appeared in ''ComicBook/BatmanYearOne'' as a child prostitute who lived with Selina Kyle. Later, Holly returned as Selina's GirlFriday in Creator/EdBrubaker's relaunch of the ''Catwoman'' title. Over the course of the series, Holly worked as Catwoman's spy on the streets, learned boxing moves from Wildcat, got a nice girlfriend, and became a den mother to a bunch of street urchins. Holly later became the second Catwoman when Selina temporarily retired.
60
61	After ending her brief stint as a replacement Catwoman, Holly left Gotham and was thrown into the cast of ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis''. Holly spent most of ''Countdown'' in a state of constant {{facepalm}}ing, as she began an OddFriendship with Harley Quinn and tried to make sense of a plot involving fake Amazons and Granny Goodness. Post-''Countdown'', Holly ran away to ComicBookLimbo.
62
63	She was seemingly RetGone'd in the New 52, with some of her role going to Eiko Hasigawa. However, Tom King's "I am Suicide" arc re-establishes her as canon, and she is now a girl who Selina grew up with at an orphanage.
64	----
65	* AffirmativeActionLegacy: A lesbian that briefly replaced Selina Kyle as Catwoman.
66	* ClassyCatBurglar: She has been taught stealth, athletics, hot-wiring, lock-picking, thieving, acrobatics, and martial arts by Selina. Ted Grant trained her in a form of kick-boxing adapted for street use, as well as English boxing.
67	* FunctionalAddict: She managed to kick her drug addiction, although she comes close to falling OffTheWagon at [[DarkestHour one point]].
68	* {{Gayngst}}: Averted. Her being a lesbian is never made into an issue, nor does it cause her any angst or trouble.
69	* LegacyCharacter: In the "One Year Later" storyline, Holly Robinson has taken over as the new Catwoman at the request of Selina Kyle, who has decided to retire from the role after becoming pregnant.
70	* LipstickLesbian: She seems to alternate between this and a more {{tomboy}}ish style.
71	* MoralityPet: For Selina.
72	* OddFriendship: With Harley Quinn, as mentioned before.
73	* PutOnABus
74	** TheBusCameBack: After years of non-use, she made her return in the "I am Suicide" arc of ''Batman'', and she's a close friend of Selina's. That same issue also explicitly references her involvement in "Year One", even though that story ''isn't'' the canon first year for Batman anymore. Whether the events are still somehow canon is up in the air, because... Tom King wrote it.
75	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After the orphanage she grew up in is destroyed by terrorists, [[spoiler: she tracks down everyone even slightly responsible for the attack and cuts their throats]].
76	* TheRunaway: She ended up on the streets after running away from AbusiveParents.
77	* SeriesContinuityError: Holly was killed during a 1988 storyline in ''Action Comics Weekly''. Creator/EdBrubaker, unaware of said storyline, brought her back. This was {{lampshade\|Hanging}}d in a short story he later wrote titled "Why Holly Isn't Dead", in which Holly complains about CanonDiscontinuity and Selina suggests {{Continuity Reboot}}s as an explanation.
78	* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: Her preferred method of killing]].
79	* RetGone:
80	** It is implied that the ''Action Comics Weekly'' story was erased from continuity as a result of ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime.
81	** Apparently, in the New 52. At first, anyway.
82	* {{Sidekick}}: To Selina. Holly began working for her as a spy of sorts. She pretended to be a part of the street life when in actuality, she was gathering information about what was happening on the streets of the East End.
83	%%* SpyCatsuit:
84	* StreetUrchin: Running away from an abusive home, Holly began living on the street as a prostitute at a young age. When she was 13, she met Selina Kyle, who was four years older at the time.
85	* TeamMom: To the Alleytown Kids, a group of street kids that she train to act as a network of spies and informants for Catwoman.

These events caused her to snap and she entered into a psychiatric institute. After Black Mask came BackFromTheDead during the events of ComicBook/BlackestNight and attempted to torture Maggie again, she escaped and became the vigilante Sister Zero: believing her sister Selina to be possessed by a cat-demon.

104	!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Detective Comics'' #1 (Vol 1) (March, 1937)
105
106	Slam Bradley was a two-fisted private detective in Cleveland, in New York, and later in Gotham City. Slam was eventually hired by the Mayor of Gotham City to track down the current whereabouts of Catwoman. He found her but she persuaded him not to divulge her location to the mayor, and has, since that time, developed a working relationship with her.
107	----
108	* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Explored in Issue #16 of ''ComicBook/NewSuperMan'', where Slam is portrayed as a racist bully attacking innocent Chinese-American civilians every week for fun and with the flimsiest reasons for detective work instead of an AmateurSleuth investigating a legitimate criminal group and fighting YellowPeril foes as a result of DeliberateValuesDissonance.]]
109	* AmateurSleuth: Slam's debut in ''Detective Comics'' #1 calls him one in the narration.
110	* BadassNormal: He predates ''Batman'' in this regard by appearing in the very first issue of ''Detective Comics''.
111	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: In his debut, Slam's strong enough to manhandle grown men and throw them around like ragdolls, casually break pots with his bare fists, and destroy wooden support beams by hurling a person at them.
112	* CoolOldGuy: Either in his fifties or sixties, he's significantly older than Selena.
113	* DecompositeCharacter: He's based on the second prototype character of Superman created by Creator/JerrySiegelAndJoeShuster; a strongman vigilante. But unlike the first prototype character, the second one wasn't published.
114	* GoodOldFisticuffs: His skills as a fist-fighter and barroom brawler are legendary.
115	* HardboiledDetective: He's one of the toughest men in Gotham other than Batman but without the gadgets.
116	* HeroicBuild: In ''Detective Comics'' #1, he's depicted with a strongman build that would later serve as the basis for the Man of Steel in ''Action Comics'' #1.
117	* HidingYourHeritage: [[spoiler:PlayedForDrama. In the 2022 miniseries, ''Gotham City: Year One'', Slam is revealed to have African American heritage but was able to pass himself off as White. However, it serves as a huge source of angst for Slam as he witnesses African American civilians being brutalized and discriminated against by Gotham City's north side due to the setting taking place in 1961, and having little power to change that.]]
118	* PrecursorHero: On a meta-example, he serves as this to both Superman and Batman by debuting in 1937, a year before the Man of Steel's debut in 1938 of ''Action Comics'' #1 and two years before the Dark Knight's debut in 1939.
119	** In the 2022 miniseries, ''Gotham City: Year One'', Slam's the closest person to be called a hero long before Bruce Wayne became Batman.
120	* PrivateDetective: One of the first detectives in Franchise/TheDCU, debuting in ''Detective Comics'' #1, a year before Superman first appeared.
121	* RaceLift: In most tales, Slam Bradley is usually white [[spoiler:but in the 2022 miniseries, ''Gotham City: Year One'', he's revealed to have African American heritage. It's to a plot point that serves as a source of angst for Slam regarding the racial disparity and discrimination of African Americans of the UsefulNotes/TheSixties.]]
122	* TwoFistedTales: Has a Pulp feel as opposed to comic books, due to being a HardboiledDetective.

Cassandra attempted a second time to become friends with Selina after Selina had freed the orphans from their horrible orphanage. Selina once again, declined. Later in life, when in adulthood, Cassandra, still resentful after all these years, found out that Selina was Catwoman.
