☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the four-issue miniseries Catwoman: Nine Lives of the Feline Fatale, published by DC in 2004. The story presents an alternate take on Selina Kyle's history, exploring nine possible lives she could have led, each with a different fate and artistic style from a distinct creative team.
In "The Cat," Ed Brubaker and Michael Avon Oeming deliver a sharp, moody tale that redefines Catwoman’s presence in Gotham’s underworld. As rival mobsters debate her true nature—criminal, ally, or myth—her shadow looms over the East End, where Holly and Karon weigh her legacy with quiet reverence. With Brian Bolland’s striking cover capturing her feline grace, this 2004 issue cements her as a force of unpredictable consequence.
When a string of petty crimes in Gotham City catches Selina Kyle’s attention, she’s drawn back into the shadows—not to stop the crimes, but to remind the city that the Catwoman is still watching. The Crimes of the Catwoman! is a sleek, self-contained tale that rekindles her feline grace and cunning in a world that’s forgotten her.
In "The Catwoman's Black Magic!" from Catwoman: Nine Lives of the Feline Fatale, Catwoman's cunning takes a dark turn when she abducts Lois and uses hypnotic power to turn her into a living disguise—forcing the unsuspecting woman to play the role of a villainess. Written by a noted hand and illustrated with sharp, shadow-drenched flair, this eight-page tale explores the line between identity and deception in a world where even the most trusted can be manipulated.
In "Part II: The Catwoman Gets the Bird!", Lois finds herself mistaken for Catwoman by the Penguin, leading to a chaotic showdown with Superman, Batman, and Robin. When Clark Kent later uncovers the truth, he’s caught in a trap that exposes a shocking secret—revealing the cost of playing a dangerous double.
In "Part III: Superman's Cat-astrophe!", Catwoman pulls off a daring switch, luring Superman into her trap by taking Lois's place—only to use Circe's magic wand and turn the Man of Steel into a feline. With Lois now free of the hypnosis and remembering nothing of Superman's secret, she tracks them down, determined to make Catwoman reverse the spell.
In "Bad Luck for a Black Super-Cat!", Catwoman finds herself on the wrong side of the law after refusing to help Lois uncover a way to reverse Superman’s transformation into a feline—despite being locked up. When Lana’s father uncovers a magical artifact capable of granting a single wish, Lana must decide what to wish for, knowing the consequences could ripple far beyond the moment.
In this pulpy, cat-and-mouse tale from *Catwoman: Nine Lives of the Feline Fatale*, Catwoman takes a surprising turn—determined to go straight and win Batman’s heart by becoming his crime-fighting partner. But when his icy demeanor doesn’t melt, she flips the script with a bold ultimatum: marry her, or she’s back to her old ways.
In "A Town on the Night," Catwoman’s chance for a rare, unbroken evening with Batman is repeatedly shattered by a string of bumbling criminals. As their uneasy partnership tests the limits of trust, Harvey Bullock pushes Commissioner Gordon to finally take action against Catwoman—forcing the line between ally and adversary to blur.
In "Object Relations," Catwoman’s latest heist takes a peculiar turn when she steals the famed Casanova Canary diamond from a museum—only to return it again and again, each time with a new twist. As the diamond’s curator grows increasingly obsessed, he devises a plan of his own, setting up a game of cat and mouse that blurs the line between thief and guardian.
In "Claws," Catwoman storms a secret lab where cats are being used in cruel experiments, her agility and sharp instincts turning the tide against the facility’s defenses. After freeing the animals, she confronts the company’s president, demanding he face the consequences of his actions—and take responsibility for the creatures he’s harmed.
