"You're Going To See The Purr-Fect Crime When I Get Batman In My Claws."
Throughout the 1960s Batman series, Catwoman was portrayed by three different actresses, all of whom brought their uniques charms to the role. In the movie follow-up to the classic TV series, Catwoman was played by Lee Meriwether, who hammed up the feline villain and stood out on her own, especially as she teamed up with three loud dominating male villains. No matter the actress, 1960s Catwoman was heavy on the cat-themed puns. Though extremely corny, it's so perfect for Catwoman in this cont...
"Come With Me. Save Yourself. You Don't Owe These People Any More. You've Given Them Everything."
Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy stands among the best superhero movies in popular culture, with The Dark Knight Risesbeing the final installment. In it, Catwoman is played by Hollywood star Anne Hathaway, who was the most recent actress to play the part until Zoe Kravitz. Hathaway's Catwoman says this toward the end of the movie to Bruce Wayne, encouraging him to run away with her. It is this moment that truly highlights the difference in between Batman and Catwoman. As a result, it i...
"Out There On The Streets, It's Not Enough To Be Strong. You Gotta Be Mean. You Gotta Be Ruthless."
Gotham was a live-action prequel series that delved into the pasts of Gotham's most infamous villains. It was well-received due to the in-depth take on characters such as the Penguin, the Riddler, and of course Catwoman.

"The Day That I Died Was Also The Day I Started To Live."
Undoubtedly the most notorious portrayal of Catwoman is Halle Berry in the anti-heroine's own eponymous movie. Though it's considered one of the worst movies of all time, Berry's attempt to play the role is unforgettable in its own right, and it was the highest-grossing female superhero movie until 2017's Wonder Woman. However, there is one subtle yet noteworthy moment the movie perhaps did get right and that was Catwoman's quote in the opening narration. While it's not strictly true to the c...
"How Can Batgirl Be The Best Anything When Catwoman Is Around?"
Season 3 of the 1960s Batman series saw the legendary Eartha Kitt put on the mask and play Catwoman. With the distinct purr in her voice and fiery persona, Eartha Kitt made a naturally perfect Catwoman and succeeded in filling the shoes of her two predecessors. Eartha Kitt wasn't the only new introduction to season 3. The third season also bought in Batgirl to help the Dynamic Duo, which resulted in two strong females facing off one another on occasion. Of course, Catwoman isn't deterred, as...
"Girl, Please. I'm Never Not Stealing Jewels!"
One of the most recent yet underrated versions of Catwoman is from the Harley Quinnanimated series. Although she didn't appear until season 2, Catwoman (voiced marvelously by Sanaa Lathan) quickly won over fans with her self-confidence, haughty aloofness, and biting remarks. Catwoman's skills as a thief are played to the maximum in the show, with Selina swiping valuables under people's noses without even being spotted. The best moment is when she is suddenly covered in jewels she stole in a m...
"What A Pleasant Surprise. Though I Should Warn You: Breaking And Entering Is Against The Law."
Out of all of the animated series featuring the Dark Knight, Batman: The Animated Seriesis the one that still stands strong with many fans. In the series, Catwoman, voiced by Adrienne Barbeau, is still a thief but isn't as villainous as expected, which is shown through her care of animals and her romantic feelings for Batman.

"Is That Any Way To Greet An Old Friend, Batman? Not Even A 'Hello, How Are You?'"
Julie Newmar was not only the first actress to play Catwoman in the 1960s series but the first actress to ever portray the famous cat burglar on screen. Newmar set the bar high for future onscreen Catwomen to come with her brilliant and playful performances throughout season 1 and 2 of the show. As mentioned before, Catwoman in the 1960s series has a number of cheesy feline puns but Newmar's best quote is a little more direct. Though Catwoman's relationship with Batman isn't really explored i...
"I Don't Know About You, Miss Kitty, But I Feel So Much Yummier."
Perhaps until Zoe Kravitz, the most popular and iconic movie depiction of Catwoman (and perhaps one of the most popular of all time) is Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns directed by gothic auteur Tim Burton. Sultry and fierce yet also vulnerable, Pfeiffer's Catwoman was truly one of a kind. Catwoman has a number of great quotes in Batman Returns, and one that stands out, in particular, is her first line after she has been resurrected by cats. Previously mousy and lacking in confidence, Seli...
"I Have A Thing About Strays."
Zoe Kravitz's mesmerizing depiction of Catwoman was perhaps more grounded than most yet still a new and refreshing depiction. Not only is Selina portrayed more as a hero than a villain, but her backstory is also explored perhaps more than any other Catwoman onscreen. Kravitz's Catwoman has some fantastic lines but thanks to the trailer, "I have a thing about strays" is undeniably the quote that hooked viewers instantly, be they Batman fans or not. Yet this quote is not only one of her best bu...
In the 1970s, Kitt appeared on television several times on BBC's long-running variety show The Good Old Days, and in 1987 took over from fellow American Dolores Gray in the London West End production of Stephen Sondheim's Follies and returned at the end of that run to star in a one-woman-show at the same Shaftesbury Theatre, both to tremendous ...
