Batman: The Animated Series: 10 Worst Episodes 

10. Cult Of The Cat - 1998

Selina Kyle / Catwoman was a mainstay on B: TAS. Adrienne Barbeau lent her very distinctive purr to Selina, giving her a voice like a velvet glove on an armoured fist - take off the softness and you were in trouble.

Which is why it is so disappointing that Catwoman's last appearance on the show was so...well, blah. There was nothing really defining in this episode about Selina - she steals from a cat-based cult, gets in over her head, and needs Batman to help her out.

Considering Selina's whole gimmick is based on dressing like a cat, surrounding herself with cats, and being a thief, how is it she has never heard of a whole cult who literally worshipped felines and the concept of stealing?

A few other pieces of this episode make you scratch your head. Wouldn't Bruce have built security measures into the Batmobile that could defeat even the best thief (he returns to the car at one point to find Selina waiting for him inside.) Why did an Egyptian cat cult dress and arm themselves like Japanese ninjas? When Bruce makes Selina promise she would give back everything she ever stole, it would leave her with nothing. Why was he shocked that she quickly went back to thieving?

About the only positive thing in the episode is that Selina gets a happy ending, lying on a bed in Paris surrounded by jewels.
