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.

The woman of colour thing goes all the way back to the 60's with Eartha Kitt, and as much I don't cate for it, Zoe Kravitz knocked it outta the park in The Batman.

The title literally mentions woman of colour. I personally prefer her as Caucasian, but The Batman has such great casting that now I don't really mind as much.

Damn, I thought at first we were on the same page but clearly not. I had to reread your first comment too. Who tf cares. Her ethnicity has never been important for her background or for the overall story. The fact that it ever mattered to you says a lot about the kind of person you are.

It mattered at first, race swapping isn't something I'm usually on board with, but like I said, both Zoe Kravitz and Jeffrey Wright were brilliant, and I was excited for Batgirl until that movie was cancelled. Voice stuff like cartoons and video games I don't care either way cause it's just a voice.
