It’s official, Catwoman is about to undergo what appears to be another origin overhaul, one that could change Batman lore forever. This isn’t the first time Selina Kyle’s backstory has been reworked, as she’s experienced multiple retcons and tweaks over her 80-plus years in comics, but this latest change might be her most significant yet.

There’s no denying that the DC fandom is filled with some seriously stunning Catwoman cosplays. However, one fan’s portrayal of the Gotham City Siren is so utterly flawless, it’s practically a comic cover waiting to happen, and we know the purr-fect DC artist to bring this cosplay-to-cover transformation to life.

A stunningly skilled cosplayer has brought Selina Kyle’s Catwoman to life with such jaw-dropping comic book accuracy that it could rival—if not sur—Hollywood’s live-action adaptations. However, there’s debate over which exact costume this cosplay replicates, though both versions share the same bold and controversial design choice that makes them unforgettable.

Absolute Batman writer Scott Snyder has finally dropped the news fans have been waiting for—when present-day Catwoman will enter the narrative. Perhaps even more exciting, though, is Snyder teased the direction the BatCat romance will take in the Absolute Universe, leaving fans eager for what’s to come.

From jewelry heists to saving the world, DC's Catwoman has done it all. Selina Kyle has been a staple in the DC Universe for years, thanks to her close ties with Batman and her many solo adventures, and she's got a wardrobe to match her long tenure. Michelle Pfeiffer's iconic Batman Returns look remains one of her best, and this flawless cosplay proves it.

Batman’s list of past mentors is extensive, featuring figures nearly as iconic as the Dark Knight himself, including Ra’s al Ghul, Ted “Wildcat” Grant, Lady Shiva, and more. However, with the debut of the Absolute Universe, DC has introduced a wild lore change, revealing Batman’s first mentor to be Catwoman unexpected, yet wholly perfect twist.

Catwoman die-hards with a ion for the Gotham Siren’s costume history may think they’ve got her earliest outfits memorized—from her debut in a striking green dress and scarily realistic cat mask to her iconic Golden Age purple dress and matching mask. However, DC has just turned back the clock on Selina Kyle, unveiling what is now her true first costume. And yes, you’ll definitely say “aw” out loud when you see it.
