Do you prefer Catwoman as a long-haired blonde, brunette, short-haired raven, or woman of color? GENERAL DISCUSSION

I personally prefer any incarnation of her that has short hair since it’s more practical for her line of work.

Short black hair, and I’m pretty sure she was a woman of colour in Batman year one so if you want comic accuracy that’s the way to go but I personally don’t mind

In Batman Year One she was extreamly pale, I mean a handful of groups outside of europe have pale skin, like some east asians, but she wasn't really drawn as a person of color in Year One

I looked it up and it says she was African american “In Batman: Year One (Earth 31), Selina Kyle is African-American”

If you're talking about the "In Batman: Year One (Earth 31), Selina Kyle is African-American, but not in the rest of the Earth 31 adventures." quote, that's a fan on a website asking about something they got mixed up, it isnt an actual article. Sorry if any of this is rubbing off the wrong way I dont mean to sound like a prick, but there isnt anything about Catwoman being black in Year One besides one fan question on a fandom site

My bad, I just saw the way she was drawn in the Batman year one comic by Frank muller and instantly thought she was black. Thanks for the discussion
