Catwoman - Seriewikin
seriewikin.serieframjandet.se →Catwoman , även känd som Kattkvinnan på svenska, Selina Kyle i det civila, var från början en bifigur i serien "Batman " ("Läderlappen"). Den ursprungliga Catwoman är en maskerad inbrottstjuv som egentligen heter Selina Kyle. Hon fanns med redan 1940 i det första numret av den amerikanska serietidningen Batman . Även om hon är en skurk, har Catwomans förhållande till Batman inte bara varit fientligt. Tidvis har det funnits ett visst romantiskt intresse mellan dem. Under 1990-talet har Catwoman fått en egen serie i USA. I denna serie har Selina Kyle för närvarande lämnat över Catwoman-rollen till sin väninna Holly Robinson. Catwoman har förekommit som bifigur i såväl filmer, TV-serier och tecknade filmer med Batman. Det har även gjorts en film, "Catwoman" 2004, i regi av Jean-Christophe "Pitof" Comar, med Halle Berry i huvudrollen som Catwoman. Catwoman i den filmen är dock inte Catwoman från serierna, filmens Catwoman har egentligen inget mer än namnet gemensamt med seriefiguren.

Catwoman is a character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, she debuted as "the Cat" in Batman #1 (spring 1940). She has become one of the superhero Batman's most prominent enemies, belonging to the collective of adversaries that make up his rogues gallery, as well as Batman's best known and most enduring love interest, with many stories depicting their complex love–hate relationship. Since 1993, Catwoman has had her own ongoing series, Catwoman.
Catwoman is the alter ego of Selina Kyle, a burglar in Gotham City who usually wears a skintight bodysuit and uses a bullwhip for a weapon. She was originally characterized as a supervillain and adversary of Batman, but has been featured in an eponymous series since the 1990s that portrays her as an antiheroine, often with a utilitarian moral philosophy. The character thrived in her earliest appearances, but she took an extended hiatus from September 1954 to November 1966 due to the developing Comics Code Authority in 1954. These issues involved the rules regarding the development and portrayal of female characters that were in violation of the Comics Code, a code which is no longer in use. In the comics, Holly Robinson and Eiko Hasigawa have both adopted the Catwoman identity, apart from Selina Kyle.
