Batman and cat women are getting married?! Man....where have I *B E E N*

[@alltheragegeorgepageakatheperv]

I would rather see Batman marry Wonder Woman.

Under a rock

One thing of Catwoman every version become better and better and prettier and prettier

[@ziareparker3332]

That mainly depends on who is drawing her

[@TiffanyRay]

I like the tim burton version of cat woman

I would cast Jodie colmer as Catwomen.

[@QuintMarvel]

You forgot to mention that Selina had her mind altered by Zatana to stop being a bad guy without her consent.

[@Blackwing2040]

Relationships in comics very complicated even for Batman, amazed on how it took them this long to tie the knot

[@jahiemyoung754]

Blackwing2040 I want a Catwoman vs Black Cat episode and history of Sonic the Hedgehog episode.

[@Ali-bd6kb]

Harry Warburg doesn’t really count though

[@CombatSportsNerd]

Blackwing2040 if you know it's complicated why are you surprised that it took them this long to tie the knot?

[@Alkhatibr]

Original Catwoman and Batman got married. But after infinite crisis they moved all of those comics over to earth 2 so they could restart dc comics.

[@maymay5600]

they were married once in golden age of comics up to silver age

[@WarmLillie]

The cat and the bat it so sweet seeing them together

[@WhistleMeThis]

Catwoman was actually originally based on actress Hedy Lamarr. For The Dark Knight Rises, Anne Hathaway based many elements of her performance on Lamarr's work. If you go back and watch some of Lamarr's femme fatale roles you can really see it. Hathaway also resembles Lamarr so to me, her performance felt like a special mix of early Catwoman and modern Catwoman come to life.

[@theangelproductions]

Anne really felt like a modern femme fatale. I hope Zoe Kravitz can pull off that side of the character.

[@AntiStraightMaleSociety]

Hedy Lamarr the austrian american beauty, she was also a scientist who invented wifi ;)

[@Azzeyman25]

Her grey outfit from the 80's was so good, also liked her purple outfit from the early 90's.

[@maymay5600]

her purple outfit was from the 60's, it depends on which version

Who else had a crush on CATWOMAN when they were young? I still do a little but now I like Harley.

[@albertschoise8091]

DC Comics Racing dont. Look at how she treats RedTool

[@Highline_29_Designs]

Alberts Choise Ya know what's kinda funny about red tool is that I came up with my own character that's kinda like red tool and I created it before I even knew about red tool. Like he even has a red and black uniform with a black mask and a red dimond around his right eye LoL!

[@jtafoya88]

Same and yes Harley is the queen of all babes now or Wonder Woman.

[@dgultimate7624]

Same, I always had a crush on Catwoman and still do. 😂

[@AntiStraightMaleSociety]

Bruh Poison Ivy is also beautiful

[@deontaandrade9536]

Now we need alternate versions of catwoman

[@ironavenger5210]

*EXTRA THICC* Especially in Batman Ninja.

[@therinmorgan6104]

I honestly loved that movie

[@airwolf276]

She’s my favourite version

[@jlfitzg1]

I cannot believe you did not include Ed Brubaker’s run on Catwoman as a reading recommendation. It is excellent and a must-read for fans of the character.

[@matthewalexanian2108]

I will add this to my reading list.

[@waalex11]

I love Batman and Catwoman in the telltale games together. They're adorable!

[@AngelLoveQuinnx]

One of the greatest comic book characters ever made. Not that she’s a woman, it’s the fact that every time she enters a scene both comic book and movie/tv wise she always ups the anti and manages to keep you on your toes about what she is going to do. Besides stealing she was always unpredictable and was always two steps ahead of the greatest detective himself, Batman. Even in a relationship.

[@renatocosta8315]

About time to finally see this episode get released, now who wants a history of Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) episode

[@albertschoise8091]

Renato Costa you mean catwoman -9.0

this is what now? bruce and selina's 3rd or 4th marriage now?

[@michaelbrent854]

Before we had Hellcat and Black Cat we had Catwoman. I always ship Wonder-Woman and Batman , but Catwoman and Batman will do.

[@tacticalministries3508]

I wouldnt really trust anything Bob Kane said anymore since we know now that Bill Finger created about 90% of everything we know about Batman and his world

[@JB-hl1qx]

The 1989 Catwoman series of 4 comics by Mindy Newell is VERY good !!

[@malikbell9114]

Can you PLEASE do a history of Taskmaster? For years I've always wanted to know his origins. And the only video I've found is one from WatchMojo and I didn't really find it too informative.

[@Chandasouk]

Everyone gotta check out Darwyn Cooke's Catwoman series. Her, Holly, and Slam were a great combination!

[@borismugosa1274]

Chandasouk she was so mature and likeable in the series

[@spacetoastjam7656]

I’ll be honest, my favourite origin of hers is the one found in Year One. It’s the one that just makes the most sense.

[@michaelhughes432]

I read in the book Batman and Me by Bob Kane The Catwoman was based on Hedy Lemar and Jean Harlow.

[@michaelhughes432]

Correction: I meant to say Hedy Lamaar!

[@grandmastercain]

Aw man, I was hoping you'd do a bit on the 60's TV Catwoman. Julie Newmar had a huge influence on the character from then onward, and don't discount Eartha Kitt!

[@gmoney4980]

YEESSS! I have missed out on the most recent Bats story. Aside from the GREAT Batman Metal & tie-ins. This a great refresher of the Bat/Cat wedding. This saved me time explaining this to my young son. I can get wordy explaining comic arcs at times. AKA= ALL THE TIME! 😂 Thank You Arris Quinones AND @VariantComics! Now my Lil buddy is all caught up.

I can't even describe Batman and Catwoman's relationship. Is it a love/hate relationship?

[@sadboipotato3382]

Sort of. Its more like a friendly competitive relationship that is pretty flirtatious and yet still has a rivalry underpinning. It's weird

[@spencerbowden2979]

Batman believes cat woman is the most redeemable criminal in Gotham solely because just like himself she has a no kill code which is something the two like about each other.

I got some better reading recommendations in order 8.Catwoman Zero hour (tie in issue) 7. Catwoman:a funny thing happened on the way back to Gotham....( collected in batman:no mans land volume 2 new edition) 6.Batman:Hush 5.Batman:rules of engagement 4.Catwoman:Selina's big score 3.Batman long holloween,Catwoman when in Rome and batman Dark victory in order (serves as a trilogy u don't need Long holloween much but it does add to the big Catwoman plot twist at the end of Dark victory and when I Rome ties directly into that and is a rlly gd Catwoman story) 2.Catwoman by Jim balent book one 1.Catwoman by Ed Brubaker volume 1-4 (easily best)
