This is a spoiler-free advance review of Catwoman: Hunted, which will release on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, and Digital HD on Tuesday, Feb. 8.
Catwoman: Hunted is a departure from the usual DC Universe Movies formula in more ways than one. Like 2008's Batman: Gotham Knight before it, this film features an anime-flavored take on the DCU. It also boasts a script from Greg Weisman, one of the minds behind Young Justice. Those two influences combine to form one of the best DC Universe Movies to date, and one that winds up sharing more than a little in common with the seminal Cowboy Bebop.
Hunted isn't exactly a spinoff of Young Justice. Weisman instead describes it as "Young Justice-adjacent," sharing only a couple of minor characters and voice actors in common with the long-running series. Tonally, the two are very different despite both targeting a relatively older audience. Where Young Justice is a dense, lore-heavy series that often explores the darker side of being a teen hero, Hunted is a very lighthearted, plot-lite romp through the DCU.
Hunted begins as any proper Catwoman adventure should: with Selina Kyle (Elizabeth Gillies) stealing a priceless gemstone and finding herself way in over her head. With the terrorist organization Leviathan and its mistress Cheetah (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) on her tail, Catwoman has no choice but to team up with Batwoman (Stephanie Beatriz) and Interpol agents Julia Pennyworth (Lauren Cohan) and King Faraday (Jonathan Frakes) to keep her nine lives intact.
