Perkal-Catwoman

I was glad when they introduced the new character of Catwoman.  Since I have never seen Batman Returns, it came as a shock to me that Selina became Catwoman.  Catwoman is an extremely complex character and it adds a good transition to the second Batman. I think that the relationship between Batman and Catwoman and Selina and Bruce Wayne was such a good plot twist.  Selina becomes Catwoman after being killed by Shreck.  She was a lonely secretary until she was brought to her limit of being treated unfairly by Shreck.  Selina was not the type of woman that had a lot of guys in her life and as soon as she became Catwoman her personality changed and she started to date Bruce.  The first time that they met was when Selina was working as a secretary in Shreck’s office and right then one could tell that Bruce was interested in her. 

            The first time that Batman and Catwoman met was when Selina went and set Shrecks building on fire.  Batman and her got into a huge fight and ended up hurting each other.  They both received a cut, which we notice the next day when they share a date unmasked.  At this point though, they still have not revealed themselves to each other.  Even though Catwoman wants to take down Batman, I think that she will always have an attraction for him no matter how she feels about guys and heroes.  She became an extremely powerful woman and I think that she feels that now that she is Catwoman she can take care of herself, but in reality Batman was not trying to be enemies with her.  I feel that Catwoman/Selina cannot decide what she wants to be because she wants to be evil, but she also wants to be good. Catwoman is always in distress and struggling to pick a side.  She likes to make things complicated and we see that when she finds out that Bruce is Batman.  Even after him revealing himself, she still wants to kill Shreck, but then she disappears, so it is hard to be fairly certain what she wants to accomplish in terms of her dual relationship with Batman/Bruce.
