Catwoman has been in some of the most famous video games ever.
Catwoman first showed up in Batman #1, which came out in 1940. This famous Gotham City Siren was first called “the Cat,” and in her first story, she pretended to be an old woman so she could be paid to break into a house. She was presented as the mysterious cat burglar and jewel thief fans know and love from her first appearance.
Catwoman has been in movies, TV shows, comics, and video games for more than 80 years. She has been both an anti-hero and one of Batman’s most trusted and loyal friends. Her work in video games over the years has been very interesting. Her character has had many different voice actors, looks, and changes to who she is, and these games have done the best job of showing these changes.
Mortal Kombat VS. DC Universe
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe came out in 2008 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Catwoman was one of the possible characters in the game, and she showed off her amazing athleticism and fighting skills.
Her outfit seems to be based on how she looked in Catwoman #1, where she wore goggles with her black catsuit. It’s important to note that her attitude in this game seems to be very different from what fans have seen in the past. For example, her tone of voice is much less seductive and much more sassy. The game itself got a lot of mixed reviews, and a lot of players didn’t like it. But in terms of Catwoman’s outings in video games, it’s definitely one of the best.
The Adventures Of Batman And Robin
Batman: The Animated Series inspired the game The Adventures of Batman and Robin, which came out in 1994 for the SNES and was made by Konami. Catwoman shows up in the level “Tale of the Cat,” where she and her cat, Isis, rob jewelers. Here, Batman follows her across rooftops and down alleys, and the two of them fight the whole time. Catwoman attacks with her trademark whip.
She is also wearing her famous gray catsuit, which she wore in the show that inspired the game. Even though there is no voice acting, the speech perfectly captures both Catwoman’s charm and the tension between her and The Dark Knight. Because of these things, this game is easily one of her best.
Batman: The Brave And The Bold
Batman: The Brave and the Bold came out in 2011 for the Wii and DS. Like The Adventures of Batman and Robin, it is based on the TV show of the same name. In this game, Catwoman is a bad guy, and she is one of the few bosses who appear in both forms.
Her look in this video game and in the show is based on the outfit she wore in the 1950s, which was a purple dress, a green cape, a cat mask, and long black hair. This is one of the many fan-favorite looks for her. Her voice actress, Nika Futterman, did a great job capturing the character’s seductiveness, quick wit, and anger with anyone who isn’t Batman. Overall, this is one of her better outings in a video game.
LEGO Video Games
Catwoman shows up as a minor bad guy in several LEGO games, including Batman LEGO 1, 2, and 3, as well as LEGO Dimensions and LEGO DC Super-Villains.
Even though these games are for kids, the makers did a great job of keeping Catwoman true to her character. Even though she is usually very sexual. She is still seductive, but in a PG way. Even though the LEGO games are rated E10+, Catwoman is presented much more accurately in them than in other, more mature games. Because of this, they are one of her best appearances.
Catwoman (2004)
Catwoman was a game that came out in 2004 to go along with the Halle Berry movie of the same name. The story is about a woman named Patience Phillips who finds out a dark truth about her bosses, which leads to her death. Patience is brought back to life by a magical cat and given cat-like abilities. So she can become Catwoman and get revenge.
Fans are used to seeing Catwoman in a very different way in both the movie and the game, but that doesn’t make her any less badass. In fact, when it came out, players wanted more games with her as the main character. This made it one of her most famous video game roles to date.
Injustice
Catwoman is in both of the Injustice games. In the first one, she is a small bad guy, but in the second one, she is a main character. She is one of the most agile and fastest fighters in Basket Random game, and she can use both a whip and cat claws.
Grey DeLisle, a fan-favorite Catwoman who does a great job of capturing Selina’s seductive but tough voice, gives her a voice. Even though her dress in Injustice 2 is similar to what players have seen before, her look in Injustice: Gods Among Us seems to be a mix of a more grown-up version of her look from Batman: The Animated Series and her original purple outfit.
Batman: The Telltale Series
Batman: The Telltale Series is a graphic adventure game that tells a story. It came out in 2016 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and other devices. Catwoman is a major character in the game and one of the three main characters in Batman. Like in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Her look in this game is more like how she looked after Catwoman #1.
Because of how the game works, players get a chance to learn more about who Catwoman really is. In other versions of the character, is shown to be selfish and shallow, but in this game. Fans find out that in real life, she can be very loving and even shy. This makes her character much more real. And this is one of her best video game appearances because of that and the fact that she falls in love with Batman.
Batman Arkhamverse
The Batman Arkhamverse, of course, includes Arkham Asylum, City, and Knight, which are three of the most important games ever made. Every character in the series is studied in much more detail than fans have seen before, and Catwoman is no exception.
In these games, players get to see how Catwoman and Batman’s friendship grows, which, like the Telltale series, makes their characters much more real.
Fans also get to see a different side of Selina. Instead of being self-centered and shallow, Catwoman often makes selfless efforts to save Batman. She was even willing to give up her plans to leave Gotham with her loot just to save him. In the Arkhamverse, her character is a badass in every way. From the clothes she wears to the way she acts. As a result, this is by far her best showing in a video game to date.
