This week, CiCi celebrates Gotham’s favorite cat burglar-turned-antihero. From her 1940 debut to Frank Miller’s Year One reinvention, Selina Kyle has clawed her way from “femme fatale” to fully realized character, proving she’s more than just Batman’s on-again, off-again love interest.
We talk Comics Code censorship, Gotham City Sirens, her complicated relationship with Bruce Wayne, the One Year Later motherhood arc, and why being able to walk away from a billionaire with your ethics intact is the ultimate flex.
In this episode:
The Comics Code tried (and failed) to declaw Catwoman
How Year One turned Selina from thief to protector
Bruce & Selina: love, masks, and that almost-wedding
Why Helena Kyle > Damian Wayne in the “best Bat-kid” debate
Calendar shout-outs for War Machine, the X-Men Schism, Howard the Duck, and The Punisher
🎃 Quick note: no new episode next week—we’re off for the High Holy Gays (Halloween weekend).
