Catwoman: Nine Lives of the Feline Fatale #[nn]
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.

Several mobsters discuss Catwoman. One thinks she's a crimefighter, one thinks she's Batman's lover, and one thinks she's a crook. Holly and Karon discuss Catwoman. Holly thinks she's a savior, among other things. The story ends with Catwoman busting-up the mobsters. She tells them to tell their boss, Junior Galante, the head of Gotham's Mafia, that the price of doing business in Gotham's East End just went up.
