Villain Overview

Sorry to disappoint you, boys. It's just little ol' me.
~ Catwoman's first line in Batman: Arkham City.
This is it. One last hoop to jump through, then I'm free to rob Gotham blind. I mean, you know, make sure everyone got out. I'll check the art galleries first.
~ Catwoman to Batman about what she plans to do once she is finally freed from the Pinkney Orphanage during the Riddler's Final Exam in Batman: Arkham Knight.

Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman, is a major character in the Batman: Arkham videogame series.

She is voiced by Grey DeLisle, who also voiced Vicky in the Fairy OddParents, Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Duchess in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Mandy in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Naare in Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, Vexus in Crossy Road: The Series, Asajj Ventress in Star Wars: Clone Wars, High Priestess in Samurai Jack, Ash Delgado in Elena of Avalor, and Jubileus in Bayonetta.

Personality[]

Drawing the fine line between hero and criminal, Selina Kyle is a master thief, ambiguous hero, deadly adversary and advantageous ally to Batman. Caring for own well being above all, Selina went by less than favorable means to survive growing up on the streets of Gotham from a young age, such as looting and stealing. Penultimately, Selina is with morals, but seems to prefer pretending to not have as she learnt to ignore scruples for the sake of survival and as it suits her alignment between both sides better for her own benefit rather than remaining on one side alone. That said her self-serving nature does not limit her from caring for another person such as fellow street urchin, Holly Robinson.

Since her alignment with Batman, her burst of conscience surprise Selina herself. For a thief, Selina does her best to avoid killing enemies and only non-lethally incapacitates them although her more bendable morality makes her just as capable of killing as she seriously threatened Hugo Strange with death when he threatened Holly to get her to comply.

She seems to get along well with most of Gotham's criminals as she usually gives most of them affectionate if not slightly demeaning nicknames and comes to them - or them her - for help with her burglary. Selina hates the fact that other criminals believe her to have principles by feeding Batman information based solely on altruism, implying she enjoys her reputation as a criminal within Gotham.

As Hugo Strange divulges through Arkham City Patient Files, Selina has a deep distrust towards men due to her own father abandoning her from childhood. Like most Gotham Sirens, she is portrayed as the pinnacle of the domination over men as her attire and combat skills employ her own sexuality to gain an advantage. Despite this level of misandry, Selina has displayed a close if not complex relationship with Batman. Given her reaction during Patient Files, she has obvious romantic feelings for the Dark Knight and this is displayed before Batman initiates the Knightfall Protocol outside of the Pinkney Orphanage.

Her relationship with Batman has also caused her growing morality due to the two of them first encountering one another as an even more unscrupulous thief which implies the altercation between the two changed her personality. Amongst her more criminal traits that she still retains is her tendency for revenge such as destroying Poison Ivy's plant in reprisal for attacking her earlier and robbing the Riddler of his funds for kidnapping her.

Although originally adopting cat burglary as means of survival, Selina grew to enjoy the thrill of the chase and continued to steal further for no other reason than sheer thrill-seeking. Finding her games of cat and mouse between her and the ethical law of Gotham and Batman himself to be invigorating, she would willingly place herself within dangerous and life-threatening situations for little reason the thrill of it, even though she was perfectly capable of escaping Arkham City after almost being shot by Joker and realising the dangers of the maximum-security prison allows herself to stay, seeing the advantage of further stealing within the city. Despite being relatively unapologetic about her thieving lifestyle, Selina is not necessarily ungrateful as she showed genuine gratitude when Batman was risking his own life to help her, even if she usually responded with more sarcasm.

Trivia[]

  • Catwoman is a playable character. She can be added for free when the game is purchased new or available as DLC for a cost.
  • In Catwoman's third story mission, if the player chooses to have her leave Arkham City with the loot as opposed to saving Batman, the game will appear to end with Catwoman escaping into Gotham saying "Screw him". However, after a few moments of credits the game will suddenly reverse as though it were a videotape being rewound to the point where Catwoman exits the vault, so that the player may make the right choice and continue the story.
  • Catwoman has been taken hostage thrice, with Batman saving her two out of the three. She was captured by Two-Face in Arkham City as well as being held hostage by Ivy but talked her way out of it. She was also kidnapped by the Riddler in Arkham Knight though she eventually defeated him with Batman's assistance and got her revenge for being set up.
