| “ | When people try to kill me, I don't hop in bed with them a tick later. I just kick their ass. I'm funny like that. | „ |
| ~ Catwoman |
| “ | We are not in control. Every now and then life likes to reiterate that little point. Some people find such reminders disconcerting. They spend their lives in breathless pursuit of meaningless goals, hoping to forget everything they know about their own mortality. Some people anchor themselves to something larger. Religion, Art, Justice. Anything they deem significant in a life that's not. We are not in control. If we were, surely we'd know better than to care about anything. | „ |
| ~ Catwoman |
| “ | Everyone feels that way. Everyone not from there. They just see Gotham as a flood of chaos. And now it's neat and clean. So what if people die? What if villains ruin their live? What if they're all slaves kept in fear? None of it matters. Let Gotham rot...as long as it rots quietly. No one gives a damn. | „ |
| ~ Catwoman |
Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman, is a major character and an anti-heroine in the DC Universe, specifically serving as a major character in the Batman franchise and the titular main protagonist of the series of the same name.
Beautiful, adventurous and morally ambiguous, she often serves as the primary love interest and an on-and-off ally of Batman, as well as being an ally and sometimes official member of the Bat-Family. She is also the best friend of both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
Although typically thought and reproduced as a villain, Catwoman repeatedly in a heroic capacity, and, in the most modern comics, is a hero as often as a villain, and even when a villain shows consistent moral standards and far more restrictions and scruples than any of Batman's other great enemies. Since Selina Kyle's origins are obscure, she can also be portrayed as based in Gotham's red-light district, implying a history of prostitution.
She spent most of her life training herself to be a professional thief, stealing only high-level targets instead of petty assaults. Because of his more or less harmless methods, Batman allows her to slip through the roots. Catwoman would become an on-and-off ally of the Dark Knight, and later his love interest. She also became a member of the Birds of Prey, the Outsiders, and later the Justice League of America.
She was created by the late Bill Finger and the late Bob Kane, and she first appeared in Batman #1 in spring of 1940.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Selina Kyle is the daughter of Brian and Maria Kyle (though in some stories it is said there is evidence that she is the illegitimate daughter of Mafia Don Carmine Falcone), and the older sister to Maggie Kyle, and her childhood was defined by tragedy. Maria later committed suicide and Brian was abusive, and later drank himself to death soon after. Selina was separated from Maggie when she was sent to the Sprang Hall Juvenile Detention Center, which was an abusive state home for orphans and delinquents.
She eventually escaped from the center and joined a carnival circus group outside of Gotham City, and learned contortionism, acrobatics, magic, and trickery and improved her pickpocketing skills. When the carnival owner died in a tragic accident, Selina decided to go to the streets of Gotham and become a thief.
Becoming Catwoman[]
Becoming a petty thief, Selina found herself working as a prostitute in the East End to get by and watched over Holly Robinson, an underage girl. After being viciously beaten by a pimp named Stan, she passed near the Immaculate Virgin Mission and was sent to the hospital. Detective George Flannery visited her and told her of Ted Grant, a man who could teach her to fight and defend herself. While training, Selina met Bruce Wayne when walking through the East End with Holly, and rejected her advances.
Stan began to berate Holly, causing Bruce to attack the pimp before Selina was knocked out when trying to protect Holly. Later on, Selina returned to Ted, and asked him to train her in the use of a bullwhip.
One night, Selina was woken up by the news that Batman was being corned by police, and went to Robinson Park with Holly to see for themselves. Seeing Batman in action gave Selina an idea to become a creature of the night like him, and returned to Stan to beat him up. She declared that she was going to change her line of work, and decided to become a cat burglar named Catwoman to rob others. Her first heist was robbing local mob boss Carmine Falcone, and decided to claw the face of her victims to leave her mark.
Selina would later defeat Stan after he kidnapped Maggie, whom she reunited with when returning to the nunnery to saved her. Sometime later, Holly was beaten by Ethan Strunk, a corrupt police officer, and Batman stopped her. Batman attempted to convince Catwoman to let the justice system deal with Strunk, but Catwoman believed that Gotham was too corrupt. After escaping Batman, Selina left Holly with Maggie to be protected.
Due to the Zero Hour story, which caused a distortion of the time stream, Selina's history as a prostitute was erased and replaced with the continuation of her as a petty thief.

Trivia[]
- Ranked 20th on IGN's "Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time" list.
- Ranked 11th on IGN's "Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time" list.
- Ranked 51st on Wizard magazine's "100 Greatest Villains of All Time" list.
- Ranked 23rd in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.
- Catwoman's alias, Irena Dubrovna, was inspired by the main character of the 1942 film, Cat People.
- Apparently the catsuit Selina wears as Catwoman (or at least one version of it) is actually a modified version of one she wore during her days as a prostitute - though this is exclusive to Frank Miller's Batman stories, as most iterations she is merely a cat burglar from the start (or in the case of Batman Returns, she makes it out furniture leather), albeit this prostitution angle does sometimes reappear in other versions of the character.
- Selina Kyle is bisexual, something which had been suspected in the comics for a long time. However, this fact wasn’t confirmed until the Post-Flashpoint continuity.
