Description Yup, pretty obviously continuing my love affair with DC Comics' hottest ladies (), this is my THIRD revisit of old fanart, this time capturing the hottest of the hot from the classic DC Universe, Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman.

As with the old one ([link] ), I've gone with the current-look outfit, that gorgeous PVC/leather/whatever catsuit with the separate hood and those snazzy goggles ... and, much like with Death and Black Canary, I've once more done a MUCH better job. Not just with the look of the costume either - yup, it's shiny and sexy, and I've done a much better job with following her curves this time (), but I'm actually MOST pleased with the background actually, not least with how it interacts with the figure. Of course being able to go all digital means I could pull off a perfect silhouette, which I never coulda done trad like ... and the result is a pretty cool "caught in the spotlight" kinda look. Okay, granted if she was REALLY caught out with a floodlight she'd be WAY more bleached out than that, but I've gone for artistic licence so I could get the right look for her costume. Hope you don't all lynch us for it ...

original inks created with Pilot Hi-tecpoints on Bristol Board, digital colours created in Gimp 2.6 with my Wacom Bamboo Pen. You can also find my original pencils, inked lineart, digital colours and background in my scrapbook: [link] , [link] , [link] and [link] Selina Kyle/Catwoman is property of DC Comics.

Well it was more of a conscious choice after all ... the PVC just looks sexier that way. With the nose ... well if you know any of her backstory you'll know Selina actually comes from good Italian stock, so I was going for a strong Roman nose there. It'd probably translate better in a profile ...

Ahhhh.

If I did in fact know her back story, I wouldn't even be aware of ethnic distinctions. So a DOUBLE one-up on me. HAH!

Indeed. Of course when we say "crimefighting" ... well ... tends to be a matter of perspective with Selina really ...

Particularly where Bruce is concerned ...

I would PROBABLY cast her more in the hero vein, but definitely in a purely ANTIHEROIC mould, mind you ...

I like to think more pragmatic realism. She's got a good heart when you get right down to it, but much of the time she's able to IGNORE her conscience ...

I'd like to see her in the next Nolan Batman though ... I reckon he might actually be able to pull her off right ...

Levia-the-Dragon In reply to Grigori77 [2010-04-05 14:23:29 +0000 UTC]

Maybe... the love interest/antagonist thing could be interesting if done right... personally I think the Riddler and Bane could use a little attention though. not like they were handled in those earlier live action movies though...

Grigori77 In reply to Levia-the-Dragon [2010-04-05 23:35:32 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps ... never been overly interested in Bane myself, but Riddler's always had certain potential. Of course the villain I think could work best in the next movie, if he's done right and kept faithful to the material, is the Penguin. Portraying him as a wannabe criminal kingpin with affectations of far greater class than he possesses could work very well if they underplay him, like they did with Crane/Scarecrow in Batman Begins ...

Levia-the-Dragon In reply to Grigori77 [2010-04-06 05:12:33 +0000 UTC]

True... but I think Bane still has merit, just look back at Knightfall... and reinterpreting the drug he uses to augment his strength and potentially intertwining it with the plot could work well also.

I agree with you on the Penguin as well, he could be quite good if a degree of subtlety was in place.

Grigori77 In reply to Levia-the-Dragon [2010-04-06 20:41:29 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, could work into a good plot tie-in if the drug had something to do with Penguin's criminal activities too.

But yeah, subtlety would be key, rather than the excess we got with Danny DeVito's version. Sure, Returns was a perfectly great film, and it worked in the context of that world, but in the Nolan version less is definitely more.

Indeed, her's hoping the next one retains or improves the epicness, though it'll be hard without Ledger's Joker being such a major drawcard.

Grigori77 In reply to Levia-the-Dragon [2010-04-08 20:48:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure it'll be fine - Batman Begins had no Ledger, and yet it worked EXTREMELY well. Certainly if they're gonna keep using the Frank Miller Year One template, then there's a perfect opening for Catwoman too ...

Levia-the-Dragon In reply to Grigori77 [2010-04-09 04:59:52 +0000 UTC]

That is also true, here's hoping the pattern continues... though a little less cancer-voice might be nice.

Grigori77 In reply to Levia-the-Dragon [2010-04-09 19:51:28 +0000 UTC]

Hahahahaha ... yeah, well he's gotta disguise his distinctive voice somehow, hasn't he?

Of course it's gonna get even more interesting now, given that now Batman is a wanted man ... so technically Gordon's no longer his ally. That's gonna make them working together REALLY difficult ...

Indeed... and could make for some interesting encounters with the bad guys if they play it right...

It certainly does raise the element of threat by several degrees.

No problem!! I wish I could of taken a picture of it but they didn't let us. But it was pretty amazing to see. It's crazy how she fit into it, but in the end she looked VERY sexy ^^

Yes she does ... but then she IS Michelle Pfeiffer, so that went a long way ... besides, the really great actresses always seem to be able to pull this kinda thing off, don't they? Like Kate Beckinsale in Underworld ...
