Catwoman

Catwomen have appeared in movies, on TV and in comics for over past 70 years. The Catwoman persona is flexible. In essence, she is beautiful, wears tight costumes and she steals. She is a foil to Batman—the yang to Batman’s yin. Though she is a criminal, she is consequently Batman’s enemy. However, she is not villainous. She does not harass the innocents. She is a hedonist who believes the luxuries the rich enjoy could rightfully be enjoyed by her. The bat is a billionaire, and her crimes are occasions to flirt with him. Catwoman first appeared a year after Batman in a 1940 story drawn by Bob Kane and written by Bill Finger. Her first appearance was in’’ ‘Batman No.1 ‘.
