Although this story lacks Catwoman’s traditional name, costume or tools, it established many defining aspects of her characterization that still stand to this day, such as her resourcefulness, her attitude and the way she could wrap Batman around her finger. The story ends with Batman “accidentally” letting the Cat escape, a move that had the Boy Wonder questioning his mentor’s sanity. The Cat was cold, crafty and fearless, and the Caped Crusader had never met a criminal, or woman, quite like her. When Batman unmasked the Cat, her beauty stopped him cold, which pretty much set the stage for how the rest of their relationship would go. Before the leather suit, before the whip, before the cowl, Catwoman was a simple burglar known only as “The Cat” who disguised herself as an old woman so she could infiltrate a yacht. Readers first met Catwoman in 1940’s Batman #1. In celebration of Selina Kyle’s eighty-year legacy, we’re taking a look at twelve moments that defined Catwoman. The Feline Fatale has had a busy nine lives, operating as a cat burglar, scheming as a villain, saving lives as a hero, and wrapping the Dark Knight around her finger. It’s been eighty years since Catwoman first prowled onto the scene, and she’s still going strong.
