COMICS: Selina Kyle Gets A Brand-New Costume In The Upcoming CATWOMAN Book From Joëlle Jones

After a fair bit of time without her own book, Selina Kyle, a.k.a Catwoman, has earned a new ongoing series from Joëlle Jones, and along with the new comic the feline fatale will be sporting a new look...

While many popular heroes from DC and Marvel seem to receive new costumes every few years or so, Catwoman has gone longer than most without an outfit change.

The most recent costume worn by Selina Kyle’s alter ego has persisted ever since the legendary artist Darwyn Cooke redesign of the feline fatale was revamped by Ed Brubaker. Like a number of the character’s costumes, Cooke’s design saw Selina Kyle wearing a form fitting catsuit along with a pair of goggles.

Some of these elements from Cooke’s work will carry over to the costume when the new Catwoman book from Joëlle Jones hits stands. However, the morally flexible Kyle will be ditching her goggles in favor of a cat-themed cowl.

For a better look at the new costume, check out the two black and white drawings and cover art for Catwoman #2 from writer and artist Joëlle Jones











CATWOMAN #2

Writer and Artist: Joëlle Jones

Gotham’s a toxic litter box for Selina Kyle of late, so she hits the road looking to clear the air, change her look and clear her name, too—there’s a copycat burglar swiping her M.O. who needs sorting out. In her hometown, Catwoman runs afoul of a crime boss who’s also hunting this impostor. Can the two declare a truce to hunt a mutual enemy, or will Selina end up just more roadkill?

I mean, Catwoman is Catwoman. There are only so many variations you can have on that design without breaking away from what's iconic. Looks good though, even if the art style makes it look a bit more leather fetishist than I care for.

Reminds me of Batman Returns... which is a good thing.

Seems a little like Injustice to me. It’s alright, but the full-body suit with goggles will always be the suit I think of when I imagine her

Oh god, the purchase of hand crew and tissues will hit geek levels..

Why don't they just have her with titty tassles and edible underwear and serve the geeks a premature present...

What next, Batman with a bollock hanging out?

No kevlar protection for that bad boy...

So of us read comics and hope there's a little more grounded reality in what a suit if for, protection normally unless you are bullet proof..

@Mclane - I just don't get the exposed armpits. I mean, really? It looks so awkward with the full sleeves and otherwise completely covered.

@Origame - Well, it's hard to raise your arms when wearing a skintight pvc shirt I guess? I don't know. It leaves a big splotch of white, which doesn't make sense for a cat burglar.

Maybe they are trying to appear to the folks with an armpit fetish.

@TomSolo - For the life of me I can't figure this out. Like, I get removing the red trunks from Superman or making Batman all black, but why no armpits? This'll keep me up at night.

"Gotham's a toxic litter box", huh?

... So I guess that whole "wedding" thing in the Batman books doesn't work out then, does it?

My mom cosplayed as Catwoman at one of our local comic cons last year! So many versions to choose from

@TheMarvelMan23 - Yeah, I like your mom's version of Catwoman the best too.

@TheMarvelMan23 - Thanks for posting that. I wish game developers would take note and cut that shit out.

@TomSolo - What do you mean?

@TheMarvelMan23 - Did you read the article in the link you posted? It was about how in the game, nobody threatens Batman with sexual assault or sodomy, but the thugs threaten Catwoman with sexual assault when you play as her. I think it’s kind of messed up, and I wish game writers would find better ways of writing female characters. That’s all.

@TomSolo - I just posted it to show the version of catwoman that my mom dressed up as.

I remember Batman also being sexually assaulted or perved on by multiple female characters in the game series. I disagree that it was one sided. Also these are Gotham scum, which reflect how monstrous these criminals behave.
TomSolo
TomSolo - 5/23/2018, 12:08 PM
@TheMarvelMan23 - I get both of those points. But from the author's perspective, I feel she makes valid points and the should also be considered.
TheMarvelMan23
TheMarvelMan23 - 5/23/2018, 1:11 PM
@TomSolo - Her points are valid too. I also see how this behaviour is a reflection of reality in some way too. When my mom dressed as Catwoman, it was insane how many guys would make such vulgar sexual comments to her or the way they would hold her body while posing for pics.
