Bogle - Catwoman

     Selina Kyle a meek, overruled secretary, is murdered by her boss, Max Schreck, due to her knowledge of his crookedness. After this, many alley cats flock around her and resuscitate her.  awakens from death, and there is a change. No longer is Kyle a shy and nervous lady, but a strong, independent, witty vixen. Her alias? Catwoman. Catwoman has the new Selina's personality, but to the infinite degree. The major difference between Selina and Catwoman is that Selina still wants a man, while Catwoman wants to destroy patriarchy and men's confidence altogether. The dual personalities of Selina interfere with the relationship between Bruce and she. This makes for a much more complex relationship than Bruce's with Vicki Vale. 
     From the first time Bruce notices the post metamorphous Selina, it is obvious that he is infatuated. She is now a woman who knows what she wants, when she wants it and how she will obtain it. This self confidence, that most women lack, is a vivid distraction to Bruce. This distraction she makes for Bruce is a power. This makes her dominant over a man for once in her life.
     The dominance that Selina has over Bruce is not enough for Catwoman. Catwoman wants to be dominant of all men and to defeat them. This motive is due to the fact that through her life she has been walked over and even killed by men. Although one can possibly see Catwoman as just crazy, she actually listens to her instincts. Catwoman has a vendetta to destroy Batman by making him seem like the villain of Gotham. This would destroy the natural patriarchy of Gotham as a whole. It appears that Catwoman just randomly attacks, but it is not so.
   

   Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne are obviously attracted to each other. During one of the dates, Bruce must leave early in order to fight the Penguin. At first, one would think that a man leaving a date early would upset a woman, but instead, we see Selina running out the door as well. This is due to the fact that she, as Catwoman has somewhere to be, and people to see. Catwoman and Batman battle it out, and also share a kiss. Above them is a misitloe, which Batman mentions the toxicity of ingesting a mistletoe, while Catwoman says a kiss can be just as deadly. There is obvious sexual tension and lust between Catwoman and Batman. The full complrxity of their relationship is shown when they both realize who one another is. Selina and Bruce share a kiss, again, it is under a misiltoe. This time, Selina mentions the poison of the mistletoe, while Bruce mentions the deadliness of a kiss. Selina then after, asks if this means they must fight.
     One would think that in the end Bruce and Selina would end up together. But this is not this case. Selina states how she would love to live with Bruce, but she would hate herself for it. This is her inner conflict between herself and her alias. It appears that she dies while killing her ex-boss by electrocution. Selina could possibly be seen as a maurder for feminism, but the thing is, she infact did not die. The ending scene shows Catwoman looking up at the Bat signal, thus showing the death of patriarchy.
