10 Best Times Supervillains Switched Sides

1. Catwoman - Batman

Although Catwoman certainly started out life as a Batman villain, to call her a 'rogue' in this day and age would just be silly. Today, Selina Kyle is synonymous with the Bat-Family, and even though a failed wedding typified her relationship with Batman in 2018, it's pretty obvious at this stage that the pair are made for each other.

Whether she's looking out for Bruce Wayne or foiling a criminal conspiracy of her own, Selina is very much a hero and one who has a hard time of hiding it. Sure, she may get up to a sneaky bit of theft every now and then, but she's still ingrained into the Caped Crusader's network of allies. So highly does Bruce value her companionship that, in 2008's Heart of Hush, he put everything on the line to save her life, confessing his love at the end as the duo prepared to put an end to the flirtatious back-and-forth that had defined their relationship since the mid sixties.

But of course, Catwoman is so much more than just her relationship with Batman. She's been a member of the Gotham City Sirens, starred in multiple solo books and has managed to eclipse many of Batman's allies in more ways than one. Point being, she's earned being a superhero, and given how she's perceived in this day and age, it's fair to say this switching of sides has been the medium's most successful.
