Only in that they are females patterned after a cat. Greer as the Cat — was much more acrobatic and had enhanced strength and metallic claws, empathic abilities and used the lens in her mask to see in the dark. She was a much more physical character than Selina — and was, of course, a heroine.

I know long hair isn't practical, but this is comics -- and Batman's cape is less practical than Selina's long hair. For the movie, if she becomes Catwoman, I hope she wears a dark purple pleather outfit similar to Newmar's black catsuit.

I always kind of liked the goofy green colour scheme of some of her suits - some cats have very green eyes (well, one of ours does anyway) and sometimes what they cough up is kind of green... But a definite fan of the current look (zipped up when on patrol, zipped down when trying to make an impression please artists - our Selina is a practical gal but she'd never risk a boob dropping out while she was swinging through the air!). Nice summation of the awful film...far more entertaining the actual movie. Another great piece.

Hopefully, we'll see Anne in some sort of approximation for the new movie. Love the modern look with the leather catsuit and goggles.

Doesn't look as ridiculous as the others. IMO the Golden Age Catwoman was where it was at. They'll never touch that unless they get someone who truly understands the source material and doesn't always look for "realism". Which Nolan often tries too hard and its very forced.

For those who don't think it is sexy, I can only point to the myriad Adam Hughes covers for her series. Also of note is the fact that the Year One Catwoman and the current Catwoman have short hair, as opposed to the long flowing locks of the classic look.

The Joker had make-up as opposed to actual green hair and alabaster skin, but he also had a custom tailored purple and green suit. Batman's suit is clearly functional, but also still a costume. I think the film would very likely have something close to Selina's current look, where the only costume aspect to it is the cowl and the goggles.
