Does anyone else hate her new look? The short hair and combat boots just really does not do it for me. I know it's not all that new as far as this series goes but in comparing it with her past costumes it's such a let down.
Catwoman
Character » Catwoman appears in 3421 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.
Characters "New" Look
Sure the longer hair look was "sexier" but not really practical, especially for a thief. What about leaving hair strands behind with DNA and all that stuff. Okay, she's sort of reformed now. With the shorter hair, someone can't grab her hair from behind. So I liked the longer look better but see the practicality of the shorter look.
I haven't been keeping up with Catwoman. Does she still remember Batman is Bruce Wayne? I saw that she's in his Outsiders now.

As for the hair, yes, it was too long but now it's at the other extreme of being too short. They've taken an ultra feminine character and made her ultra masculine. There needs to be a happy medium.
Yes she still knows about Bruce from wait i can remember. He helped her fake her and helena's death
Mr Mofo says:
"And now Batman, or I should say Bruce, is out trotting around with that celebrity chick. There was also Talia reminding him of their past. Man, the dude has women everywhere. Doesn't seem that long ago that they tried hooking him and Wonder Woman up in JLA."
Bats and Wonderwoman does look cool, then again there's the Smallville idiots tying him and Chloe Sullivan. Now don't start do another 20 posts with the Chloe thing, I'm trying to forget the show for now. Just talk about Bats and Wonderwoman or Catwoman's new look.

"It's way better than before.That purple spandex was totally unrealistic."
yeah all black is better,if you ask me
While I agree with Hex that the long hair looked better, the new costume is way better than the last one
I miss the purple cowl, though the old hair was a problem for her so I get why she'd ditch it but now it's too short for such a sexy character. She really doesn't even seem like the same character, really... I like the new outfit, but not for the Catwoman I fell in love with all those years ago. God I suddenly feel very old... sigh
just starting to read the catwoman now - both the 90s and current version. i like her old look and attitude better but the short hair is starting to grow on me. In some of the covers she looks like Audrey Hepburn, in others, like Demi Moore in Ghost. I don't think her current costume does her justice -- those goggles and boots are so ugly. i hope they get rid of it with the reboot.
i'm also not sure i like where they're taking her character. she seems much more angst filled now compared to the 90's version. i hope they lighten her up a bit.

I mean c'mon, who doesn't love goggles and combat boots? If you can make combat boots look sexy then, well, you must be pretty damn hot.
I like her better during the Jim Balent era, when she was wearing the purple costume with black curly hair.
Her newer look is just so dull.

I don't know who couldn't love that. I personally think she is the most attractive DC woman and this outfit just makes it all the better.
Yeah, the attitude change is not attractive either. I prefer the happy carefree thief who was really good at what she did rather than this mediocre vigilante who keeps making the most stupid decisions (like having a baby with a one night stand who's the son of an ex-lover, etc.)
i like her new look but i wish they'd just make her goggle lenses yellow-green and KEEP them that way. the green makes sense for cat eyes and its throwback to her old green costumes. as for her hair, imo super short hair is still ultra-feminine, you get the see her nape and shoulders and clavicles which, to me, are really sexy feminine parts (think natalie portman). selinas still a sex kitten no matter what she wears, its her demeanor not her appearance.
but her attitude lately, idk... i dont its just the writers shoving her to the back burner. she's really been through alot and i think she's still mentally and emotionally recovering from it, i'm sure she'll make a comeback from kitten to tigress soon enough. i'm sticking with her through thick and thin (sirens). :3
I love this costume. Simple yet oh so sexy" J Rex said:

I love Catwoman, whilst I love her old purple costume and I even enoyed the movie version, I love this newr version. To me, Catwoman is the sort to go practical and still know that she looks hot as hell with it.
Sort of not really I guess I just have not gotten used to seeing her like that the hair could have been a bit more longer.
i think its just a metaphor. Its an arc between Sirens, Batman, and Red Robin. From the picture i would have to guess its most likely that she will have to choose between the Bat faimly and her new friends, or more narrowed down between Bruce and her life that she is used too.
Wonder what her look is going to be like in the movie:
- long or short hair? i vote long
- mask or goggles? i vote mask
- leather or other? i vote other (i like the fabric they used in the Arkham City design)
- cat ears or none? I vote none
- whip or no whip? i don't care...
Anyway, I've been watching quite a bit of youtube clips and interviews of Ms. Hathaway. I'm really getting to like her more and more. She's got the warmth, vivacity and humor that I'd expect from Selina Kyle. I think it will be interesting to see how Nolan writes the character -- maybe he'll tone down the physical sexuality and amp up her engaging personality?
