The Batman: 10 Moments Inspired By The Arkham Video Games

10. Catwoman

Selina Kyle is often portrayed as a conflicted soul. She's an emotionally damaged woman who has lost her faith in the system, but not in all people. While Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman also pulls some inspiration from Frank Miller's iconic comic version, she breathes very similar air as her Arkham counterpart.

In Arkham Knight, Riddler and Catwoman are at the center of one of the game's biggest missions. In both the game and the film, Selina Kyle presents as a self-involved burglar who should be able to thrive among the chaos of Gotham. In both cases, we see her decisions gradually lean toward the side of good. This comes as her association with Batman develops.

Both Catwomen are also faced with a choice of skipping town with a bag of loot, or lending aid to a struggling Caped Crusader. Not surprisingly, in both cases she opts for Batman. There is also an air of romance surrounding the characters in both portrayals.

Lastly, both Catwomen use similar combat. They utilize a very acrobatic, strike-centered approach. We even get to see her iconic bullwhip in both cases, albeit only once in the movie.
