Catwoman
There's no rule saying you have to be real to appear at All Women Are Bad, is there?
Of all the fictional characters in history, few can match Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in the Bad Girl Sweepstakes. In her way, she's every bit as iconic as Wonder Woman.
Selina started on the wrong side of the law, working as a specialized call girl in Gotham City-- until the Bat came along and made her realize she was destined for something greater. Donning a skin-tight cat costume, she became Gotham's most notorious burglar, and began a long-term, on again-off again romance with the Dark Knight.
She eventually gave up her criminal ways and dedicated herself to fighting evil. But she's always straddled the line between good and bad, darkness and light. Stealing stuff, well... it's just in her blood, and she periodically returns to her bad girl ways.
But at her core is a loathing for those who would prey on the innocent and helpless. That center of morality is what always brings her back to the side of the good guys.

What about all the terrific dames that have played Catwoman on the silver and blue screens?
ReplyDeleteGood point. I covered Julie Newmar a while back, at least...
