Bashing Takara's " Batman Begins " Line : Catwoman
     
  Forget Michelle and Halle , Catwoman has really only had THREE Lives!!
Julie Newmar's tall slinky looks really made her , for me , the definitive Catwoman and her roots in dance gave her the graceful
movements that go hand in hand with the feline persona .

Next you had Eartha Kitt , who broke new ground on TeeVee by being the first black incarnation of DC's sexy siren to Adam
 West's Batman . Eartha was excellent in being not just sexy , but very powerful and dangerous and brought a very tangible feeling of ruthlessness to the character . Her voice also contributed a lot to her portrayal , having a very raw and passionate quality .

Lee Meriweather , while only playing Catwoman once ( in the theatrical release ) was not quite as catlike as Newmar , nor as
 exotic as Eartha , but as a stand-in Newmar definitely kept up the sex appeal needed for Catwoman .




Bashing The New Takara Catwoman
Takara's new CG Catwoman is
based on Jim Lee's version of the
character from the Batman " Hush "
storyline , and while being an excellent
figure really isn't the Catwoman that is
in my mind's eye which will be forever
jaded by William Dozier's campy Batman
TeeVee series .

It didn't take me very long to start
bashing my eagerly anticipated new CG ,
and my entire focus was recapturing the
"sexpot " Catwoman . Initially I supplanted
the stock CG head with AJ Mcleod's which
actually looks quite stunning as a
Catwoman . However , CG Ruby has the
hair and face sculpt that captures un-
touched a very nice resemblance to Julie
Newmar's Catwoman , and with some
additional paint ops and some styling to
her hair could pull off quite the simple
transformation of a Newmar inspired
Catwoman representation .




A " Batman Adventures " Styled Catwoman

Just for giggles I decided to try out Dreams and Visions Miss fear headsculpt on the Catwoman figure , and it too has a fun , more animated look to the figure . The black hair at least , is much more akin to the comic book Catwoman , and her eye paint ops do indeed have a cat-like appearance .
