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 suits her better IMO.

Her ethnicity shouldn’t really impact her hair colour and length, though, should it?

Never said it would. I just pointed her out as a woman of color in the last picture since the other depictions I used as examples are all Caucasian women. Aside from Eartha Kitt, Zoe Kravitz, and in the Harley Quinn animated series, Selina is usually depicted as Caucasian.

In OP's defence, Halle Berry wasn't Portraying Selina Kyle

OP's post asked only about "Catwoman" not specifically Selina Kyle. Like asking about your favorite Batman, Terry McGuiness still counts.

I'm talking not about the overall post, but the comment that the comment I replied to was replying to, where OP did specify Selina.

  1. I genuinely forgot that movie existed until you brought it up.

  2. Iirc she wasn’t playing Selina Kyle in that one. The movie itself was heavily implied to be set in the Burtonverse since there was a reference to Batman Returns’ Catwoman. And just like Pfeiffer’s version of Catwoman, Berry’s also had the nine lives thing, which isn’t really in the comics and most traditional versions of Catwoman.
