For most of Battle for the Cowl, readers haven’t been privy to the actual gang warfare between Two-Face, the Penguin, and Black Mask. In The Underground, The Riddler and Catwoman get a first hand look at what is going on, and for Gotham it isn’t pretty. It may not even be pretty for those who pick up the issue.
Yes, there are a great number of entries that feature attractive women in these Art Appreciation Moments of the Day, and while it is nice to gaze upon the female form, it is more interesting to see how female artists portray the form. Here’s a fun Catwoman piece by Jessica Hickman, for the Batman Archives Sketch Cards Series.
My drawing on one of Mark McHaley’s Batman Archives sketch cards. He then colored it as only he can. I love how he lays down the paint and can get such detail with simple brushstokes.
Ever since he took up drawing Catwoman covers for DC Comics, I can’t think about Selina Kyle without thinking about Adam Hughes. One of my favorite artists of all time, Hughes finds Ms. Kyle one of his favorites too.
I miss drawing Selina. It sure was fun with her; lots of different moods. She’s the quintessential femme fatale.
And YES, I’m aware the she resembles Audrey Hepburn, LOL.
My personal inspiration for Selina Kyle is Ms. Hepburn, circa 1954-57. My favorite face ever.
My personal inspirational cocktail for Catwoman is:
70% young Audrey Hepburn
20% Liz Taylor from CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
10% Trinity from the first MATRIX film
Take the jump for a look at Catwoman 73, where Hughes changes up his regular art supplies for something completely different.
Sad news today, as a friend of the Eartha Kitt family reports that the singer and actress has passed at 81 years of age. Most readers of Major Spoilers will remember Kitt as the second Catwoman from the 1967-1968 Batman television show.
Kitt, a self-proclaimed “sex kitten” famous for her catlike purr, was one of America’s most versatile performers, winning two Emmys and getting a third nomination. She also was nominated for two Tony Awards and a Grammy.
She will be missed.
I hate running rumors that are so far out there that the chances of them actually being true are super slim. On the other hand, I can’t pass up a chance to run a picture of a atractive female on this site.
File this along with the other Batman 3, Catwoman rumors that have been floating around teh Interweb Nets over the last couple of months, but apparently Rachel Weisz is up for the part of the feline foil.
Keep in mind Christopher Nolan has just gone on record as saying he just beginning to noodle with the idea for the next Batman film, so any “definite” casting claims are pretty hard to believe.

I literally feel that I cannot say enough good things about Batman Confidential at the moment. I picked it up for the first time 5 issues ago, with the beginning of ‘The Bat & The Cat’ storyline (because for nothing else, I love Barbara Gordon) and I honestly wonder if I’ll be able to put it down again. With this, the final issue in the 5-issue arc, I once again have trouble finding any fault with the book.
Even though Christopher Nolan hasn’t committed to direct the next Batman movie, and even though a script isn’t ready (to my knowledge), UK’s Telegraph has already named the next two characters to appear in the franchise – and you’re going to need to prepare yourself for who has “already been cast”.
Issue #20 of Batman Confidential continues ‘The Bat and the Cat’ storyline by adding another Bat to the mix, in the fourth part of this five part series. Seeing as the review for #19 is probably not far away from this sentence, I won’t bother reviewing what has happened, except to say that it is awesome!
In lieu of the fact that I may not have been the only one to miss the release of Batman Confidential #19, I’ve decided, in the face of the release of issue #20, to review both. I won’t do it at the same time, because that would take away from the fact that these are two really great issues, and deserved of their own time in the sun.
For those of us who thought the Catwoman series was a goner with issue #81 (as stated in the May Previews issue), the agony of having the series canceled is going to be drawn out a little longer as DC announced issue #82 will be solicited in the June Previews.
DC stated this will be the final issue of the series and is expected to be in stores in August.
In all my eagerness to get the Women of the DC Universe story up, I completely missed this little tid-bit from Adam.
Catwoman issue number 82 will mark the end of the DC Comics ongoing series. Adam will at that time cease doing covers for DC, and focus all of his efforts on completing his much anticipated 6-issue story, All Star Wonder Woman.
What? Catwoman is being canceled?
