In the movie "Catwoman," the character Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman, is portrayed as an antihero. She operates in a morally ambiguous space, often engaging in criminal activities such as theft, but her motivations are driven by personal justice and empowerment rather than pure villainy. While she sometimes opposes traditional heroes like Batman, her actions are often aimed at fighting against corruption and injustice, making her a complex figure who blurs the lines between villain and hero.

In the 2004 film "Catwoman," Selina Kyle, played by Halle Berry, is a shy and talented graphic designer who works for a cosmetics company. After discovering that her employer is involved in illegal activities, she is murdered by the company's corrupt executives. However, she is resurrected by an ancient feline goddess, granting her enhanced agility, strength, and cat-like reflexes. Embracing her new identity as Catwoman, she seeks revenge against those who wronged her while navigating her complex feelings for Batman.

In the film adaptations of "Catwoman," three actresses have notably portrayed the character. Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman in "Batman Returns" (1992), Halle Berry starred in "Catwoman" (2004), and Anne Hathaway took on the role in "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012). Additionally, Zoë Kravitz portrayed a version of Catwoman in "The Batman" (2022). Each actress brought her own interpretation to the iconic character across different films and timelines.

Eartha Kitt was not the first Catwoman; she was the third actress to portray the character. The first Catwoman was Julie Newmar, who played the role in the 1960s "Batman" TV series. Kitt took over the role in the show's later seasons, becoming iconic for her sultry portrayal. Before Kitt, Lee Meriwether also played Catwoman in the 1966 film "Batman." Kitt's performance remains one of the most memorable interpretations of the character.
