This year, Tini Howard and Nico Leon will take over as the creative team for DC Comics' Catwoman, and we now have a first look at Jenny Frison's variant cover for the third issue of their run, which is set to hit shelves this March.
This artwork spotlights the version of Selina Kyle we'll meet in Matt Reeves' The Batman, giving is a detailed look at the costume design Zoe Kravitz take on the Dark Knight's feline foe will don in the movie. The character was prominently featured in the most recent trailer (see below), and is expected to play a larger role in the story than previously expected.
Check out the variant cover for Catwoman #41 below.
With Batman out of the picture, Catwoman would be wise to remember that there are more than bats in Gotham's belfries. Speaking of bats, Onyx returns to her home city to bat cleanup and make sure Catwoman's not letting any strays into her city...and with no big Bat in the shadows, those pesky no-killing rules are off the table. Let's see if Catwoman and Onyx can agree on a target…
"Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies — Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) — amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens."
“When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.”
The Batman is set to hit theaters on March 4, 2022.
