There we got our first version of a Catwoman origin story. That monumental moment took place in 1950’s Batman #62. But it wouldn’t be until 10 years of unnamed criminal escapades that she’d take on the name Selina Kyle. Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, the crafty jewel thief was a classical femme fatale in the mold of noir icons like Jean Harlow. A character known as “The Cat” first debuted in 1940’s Batman #1. However, just like the enigmatic anti-heroine, the reality is far more complex. Starting at the beginning seems like the easiest way to get a handle on Catwoman.
