Sometimes I am surprise by what inspires me to write.
While struggling to come up with something coherent to write, I came across the classic, campy original Batman. I remember watching it in Spanish and I can tell you, the voice actors were just as melodramatic as the original cast. I miss old movies like this one.
How can you not appreciate the shark repellent scene??
Anyway, while contemplating on the beauty of Lee Meriwether (ok, more like wish I looked like that), I began to muse over the many wonderful ladies who graced the screen as “Catwoman”. Each of them had their own style, their own take on that volatile and charismatic character.
Eartha Kitt, the most petite and most purringly devious.
Julie Newmar, the most statuesque and sultry.
Lee Meriwether, the most agile and refined.
With the revival of “Batman” came Tim Burton’s take on Selena Kyle. Michelle Pfeiffer as the new Catwoman was sharper and dark, though no less sensual than her predecessors. The last decade brought us Anne Hathaway, who was not as vivid as the others but managed to spin a nice take on Kyle’s character. I bet you think I skipped Halle Berry but to be fair, the character was different from the rest.
So the questions of the day is, who is your favorite, and why? π

Eartha Kitt. She just oozed sexy.

Best laugh, too π

Julie Newmar. Try to describe her and not use the word “statuesque”.

BOOM!!! And I know where you got that π

I loved the old Batman series. And Catwoman always made my parts tingle, no matter who played her. Each actress contributed to make the character timeless.
When it comes to the male villains, Heath Ledger stands miles above the others. Nicholsen’s Joker was a caricature, and while well acted, still nothing more than an extension of Romero’s original clown.
Thanks for the spin down memory lane.
I think any incarnation of Batman would have met their superior when faced with a machete-wielding Sithstress, IMHO.

Oh, I would be nice to Batman. Shark repellent is hard to come by π

It’s just copper acetate, and nigrosine dye, you can get that anywhere.

I used to watch Batman as a kid. I have to admit that I judged Catwoman on her chest size, as I did Batgirl. I don’t remember who was what…but I remember the chest size. I know. I’m sick…lol

You just suffer from male-pattern maleness π

Anne Hathaway. Cuz….Anne Hathaway.

Julie Newmar, because her Catwoman was amoral. When she proposed marriage to Batman, and he asked “What about Robin?” She replied, “Oh…..I’ll have him killed. Painlessly, if you want.”
Did you know that Julie Newmar designed, and then made her Catwoman suit? She had some mean sewing skills!
November 23rd, 2015 at 10:36 AM
Yep, she is an extraordinary lady π

The Batman movie had the best line. βOf what use is a dream if not a blueprint for courageous action.β
