10 Things DC Comics Wants You To Forget About Catwoman
2. Her Ridiculous Costumes
Catwoman's iconic costume is as simple as it is practical, it's just a black catsuit with a pointy-eared hood and goggles. However, her original costume was anything but.
Well, second costume technically. In her first appearance, Selina Kyle's silly gimmick was actually dressing up like an old woman to commit crimes. She was also called The Cat, despite lacking any feline-themed equipment.
In subsequent appearances though, she went by Catwoman and wore her "classic" costume, an outfit that only someone in the 1950's would think is a good idea. Although, on the other hand, the fact that Catwoman is able to race across rooftops in the middle of the night wearing high-heels and a tight knee-length dress is actually pretty impressive.
Selina has made some other pretty questionable fashion choices over the years, including a mask with whiskers, a suit that looks like her costume from the Batman TV show, but it a particularly vivid shade of snot green and a costume combining the worst aspects of the others, a bright yellow dress with a mask that made her look like an actual cat.
It's probably unlikely that any of these will inspire Catwoman's Gotham City Sirens costume.
