She took to thievery to survive, but was determined to do it in her own style. She learned martial arts and trained extensively to perfect her own skills at cat burglary. Her criminal activities are often tempered by a reluctant altruism, making her an inconstant villain and occasional heroine. She steals objects with feline names or motifs. She regularly eludes capture by the Dark Knight, and maintains a complicated, adversarial relationship with Batman that frequently turns flirtatious and occasionally romantic. Over the years, their relationship developed to become increasingly reliable allies. Incident Reports Early Life Selina Kyle is allegedly Carmine Falcone's younger daughter. It is believed that at a young age, Carmine and his wife Louisa gave Selina up for adoption for unknown reasons, forcing her to fend for herself in the streets of Gotham. She turned to thievery to survive, learning martial arts and gymnastics to develop her own style. Eventually, she created an identity for herself as Catwoman after hearing rumors about Batman. Arkham Origins Blackgate Incident While stealing data from a building in Gotham City, she attracted the attention of Batman. He intends on taking her in, but the pair are interrupted when a D.E.O. squad shows up in response to Catwoman's theft. Batman argues with the squad, insisting that he will be the one to take Catwoman in, which buys the Cat Burglar enough time to escape. Batman and the D.E.O squad chase after her, but neither are able to catch her, and she mocks them for it. Batman eventually does catch up to her and the two fight, and while Batman defeats her, she was still able to successfully upload the data she had stolen to her employer. She is then imprisoned at Blackgate Prison following her defeat. The prison is overthrown by The Joker, The Penguin, and Black Mask shortly after she is taken there, and gang members from each faction began pestering Catwoman about joining their group. Batman arrived and incapacitated them. Catwoman clues him in on recent events and tells Batman that there are hostages suffocating to death in the Arkham Wing vault. She offers her services in exchange for being transferred to a lower security prison and having her sentence reduced, telling Batman that Blackgate is no place for a thief like her. When Batman questions her motives, she convinces him to accept her help by telling him that she isn't a psychopath that wants the hostages to suffer. From that point on, Catwoman supported Batman, giving him valuable information and advice, urging him to hurry up and reach the Arkham Wing. There are no hostages when he gets there, however; the only thing in the vault is a weakened Bane attached to several tubes. Catwoman appears, telling him the truth - there never were any hostages and she had manipulated Batman to get to Bane from the start. Batman tries to sympathize with her, telling her that many will get hurt or die if Bane is freed, but she coldly replies that it helps her sleep at night if she doesn't think about the negative repercussions of her actions and that she is only doing it to pay off a debt. As she had planted bombs all over the prison, Batman was unable to stop her and she was able to escape the facility with her objective. As Bane was incredibly weakened, she was only able to make it to the docks before Batman caught up to her, however. She urged Bane to escape and the two fought again, resulting, once again, in Catwoman's defeat. Batman asked who she her employer is, but she is unable to answer his question as she was hired anonymously. An unnamed federal agency, led by Captain Rick Flag, appeared and took Catwoman and Bane into custody. A final scene revealed that a woman referred to as Director Waller had Catwoman released with an expunged record and the thanks of a grateful nation, suggesting that Catwoman was working for this agency. Personality Catwoman is a woman who is defined by pride and temptation. Being a high-profile burglar, she is skilled in espionage, so she is able to keep herself from being known. She also has a high interest for jewelry, particularly that of high value and rarity. Catwoman is often displayed as the embodiment of attraction and a pinnacle of dominating superiority, specifically over men. She isn't afraid to make suggestive comments and frequently flirts with Batman on numerous occasions. She also seems to be aware of her appearance and sometimes makes use of it. Additionally, in the Arkham City incident, she was feared by many Blackgate inmates, occasionally leveling that induced by Batman himself. Unlike most of the villains of the Arkham franchise, specifically inmates of the asylum, Catwoman isn't considered to be a psychopath or criminally insane. She seems to hold little regard in wanting to kill, let alone wanting to care for another life, but this doesn't mean she is without morals. Under some situations, Catwoman can, yet sometimes reluctantly, aid Batman in his endeavors - a good example being when Catwoman saved the downed Batman from TYGER forces in loss of her loot, stating she would never forgive herself if he died. During a taped patient interview with Dr Strange, she had planned on leaving the interview until Strange said that one of the TYGER Guards was holding her friend, Holly, at gunpoint, forcing Catwoman to comply for the sake of her friend's life. The only time where she held immorality was during the Arkham Origins Blackgate Incident, but this was only because she was hired by an unnamed agency. During the Arkham City Incident, she demonstrated that she is stubborn as she was almost shot by the Joker until Batman saved her and tried to convince her to leave the city for it wasn't safe. In response, she said, "Nine lives, remember?" before grabbing her whip and leaving the courthouse. This also shows how she is very daring to take risks, showing signs of fearlessness. Catwoman also stands between the boundaries of an occasional hero and villain: she only plays the role of a hero whenever necessary and doesn't show much of a villainous ego. By the time of Arkham Knight, she reveals in a optional conversation with Batman that few of the criminals in town trust her any more due to her "playing nice" with Batman and many of them consider her a hero on Batman's team, much to her chagrin. She reveals herself offended by the idea of anyone thinking she does anything out of principles.
