I wonder what it is about Catwoman that gets her reimagined so much? If we include other media she's also had two movie origins and at least one animated origin (Brave & Bold; I don't recall if TAS delved into her origins)....
Watching it all put together like that, Selina's had a hard knock life! Almost feels like a Woman in Refrigerator situation.

Catwoman
Character » Catwoman appears in 3340 issues.
Catwoman is a fictional character originating from DC Comics. Under the costumed alias of Catwoman, Selina Kyle, is a cat burglar with an on-again, off-again, romantic relationship with Batman. She is shown as a woman who is very strong-willed, independent and morally dubious.
3-Minute Expert: Who Is Catwoman?
And before anyone says anything, yes this was a little over 3 minutes. There was just so much to tell (and some stuff was cut out).
# min expert is awesome. I dont think anyone cares if its over 3 mins as long as we get good quality information.
Always love the 3 Minute Expert videos. But don't you think this one should have been hosted by Babs. Seems kinda fitting.
Really great video editing work.
Wow, Catwoman sure has had a convoluted back story. Shows how confusing things can get when companies reboot characters in order to make them relevant to a newer audience. More often they make a bad situations worse, ala BND/OMD/OMIT.
Not to mention Zatanna's has some serious bipolar issues when it comes to her magic and mind changing.
I certainly prefer her latest outfit over her older ones. I was never much of a fat of the cat ears on her mask. She doesn't need them to be Catwoman. She is a cat bugler.

I know it would probably just be easier to do sequel installments kind of like those tapes infomercials try and sell
Am I the only one here who hates catwoman? Just can't stand the character. Loved Hush though. You should turn these in to 5 minute videos instead. What made everyone one at Comicvine agree on 3 minutes? There must have been a meeting or a get together or something right haha?
I don't think the Hooker origin is canon anymore.
Regardless, Catwoman is my favorite female comic character.
I don't even read comics (I pick up the occasional graphic novel), but I'm interested in the plot and characters, so whenever I see a new 3-Minute Expert at the bottom of Giant Bomb, I click on through. Love this feature, keep it up!
B:TAS did not cover the origins of Batman, Joker, Catwoman, or Penguin due to the Burton movies around that time. In fact, one episode that showed Batman in Arkham after being affected by Scarecrow's fear towin said Joker's name was Jack Napier, the same name he had in 1989S BATMAN. Mask of the Phantasm was made later, but was careful not to contradict anything in 1989's BATMAN.
" And before anyone says anything, yes this was a little over 3 minutes. There was just so much to tell (and some stuff was cut out). "I think the "3-Min. Expert" title is now more of just a title for this video feature rather than a video description.
In my opinion I don't mind them being longer than 3 minutes (otherwise we wouldn't the whole story)...

There's a lot I didn't know about Selina... I wonder why her origins were re-written so many times?
Quality stuff. It was interesting to see her original origin as I'm more familiar with the current stuff.
