Catwoman VS Lois Lane | The Catfight Of The Century!

Lois and Selena on their double date in the Tom King run: Lois: Remember that time you imprisoned me, hypnotized me into being Catwoman, and turned Clark into cat? Those were good times, why don't we do that anymore? Selena: You want me to do that? Clark: Oh... That... Bruce: So we're ignoring the cat part are we?

I think a good comedic twist would have been for one of Catwoman's cats to develop feelings for Clark as a cat and have him try to use that to get said cat to free him from the cage. While we hear Lois say, "Who would have ever thought I would have to compete with a cat for Superman's affection."

That tape of Superman appearing to murder a bunch of people will reappear in Action comics when Superman is framed for murder by the mob, or a mobster, and is used by the prosecutor as evidence that Superman can be a killer. That was a story I really enjoyed as a kid and yet another story that takes place mostly in a courtroom.

[@WhiteRaven696]

I find it so ironic that the Comic Code Authority was made (partly) because Wertham thought Batman and Robin were gay, yet Catwoman (who gets banned by the CCA) has Batman salivating at her feet in every single appearance in the Golden Age! He even lets her get away!

I guess they wanted Batman to be straight, but in a good, clean, family kind of way. You know, he should only date good girls and do all the wholesome things that good young men and women do, like go out for milkshakes and be back in their respective houses by ten. No femme fatales allowed.

[@ryansanagustin6553]

3:26 This is actually a fact of monarchy that I find interesting. If a King marries a woman, that woman is now the queen consort (queen via marriage). However, if a queen regnant (ruling queen) marries a man, that man does not become the king consort but instead a prince consort. From my research, this to assert dominance in political power because sexism says that a king rules higher than a queen so they’re kept as prince status. All this to say, Catwoman is a queen who doesn’t need a king.

[@davidfountain6607]

Having owned a 'regular' cat and experienced the fight and drama of trying to get it into a cat-carrier, I'm amazed Selina could scoop up Clark and get him into the cage, while still keeping her right arm attached! Also, the panel of Lois feeding super cat should have been followed by Superkitty having his after meal bath!

An old add for the KILLING JOKE read: "Beyond evil there is insanity. Beyond insanity there is the Joker." That's nice. But, " Beyond camp there is... Lois."

You know, that whole "keeping the cage even though it cannot hold Streaky just in case" logic is what my Dad gives me about his junk. No wonder she has a full cave lair. That's why Batman has a full cave system as a hide-out too. Hoarders, all of them. XD

Hey, Sasha Big fan - love especially your penchant for the weird and wonderful corners of Comics history (one of areas of interest - ESPECIALLY silver age goofiness and mis-placed "appeals" to girls and women). Were do you find all the Lois Lane stories? I'm very much a "hard-copy" guy, so I have the Lois Lane Archive and as much reprinted SilverAge Superman as I can put my hands on - but I'm hoping as a "personality" at least some of your stories are being inspired by comp copies of upcoming books?
