Catwoman: The Movie & Other Cat Tales

    (DC, 2004)
™ and © 2004 DC Comics, Inc.

This TP tie–in to the 2004 Halle Berry movie reprints four unrelated stories from the Catwoman (2nd Series). The centerpiece is a straightforward adaptation of the movie, and includes sketches of Berry in costume by artist Jim Lee. The other stories are reprints from the Catwoman monthly series: “Cat Shadows” (Catwoman #0) has Selina Kyle recalling her childhood and the events that led to her taking her secret identity.  “Final Report” (Catwoman #11) and “Fire With Fire” (Catwoman #26) deal with a heist from a fortified mansion, and Selina’s attempts to warn off drug dealers from her neighborhood, respectively. This collection was intended to induce moviegoers to investigate the original comic book character; in light of the film’s critical and commercial failure, this may not have been accomplished.
