10 More Most Inappropriate DC Comics Storylines Ever

10. Catwoman's Prostitute Origin

Any comic book fan can sit and talk about Batman’s rogues gallery for days on end. It is easily the greatest and most extensive in DC’s history, and the only real rival worthy of debate from Marvel's corner would be Spider-Man’s.

One of the greatest to ever face the Dark Knight is Catwoman, and if you need proof look no further than Zoë Kravitz’s portrayal of Selina Kyle in 2022’s The Batman. Ironically however, Year One, one of the several stories that helped inspire the movie, reduced the character to far less than ever deserved.

Her origin story in Frank Miller’s take on the younger side of Batman was that she was a dominatrix prostitute who ultimately turned to a life of crime. Aside from the fact that it was completely unnecessary to reduce Selina in this way, it arguably said more about Miller himself.

A consistent criticism of the writer’s work is that his female characters are rarely more than over-sexualised under-developed objects. Case and point, taking a great character like Selina Kyle and pushing her into the sex industry for absolutely no reason.
