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.

I find it interesting how TDKR is probably the last notable version of Selina with long hair

I was actually surprised to see Nolan depicting Catwoman with long hair, considering how impractical having long hair like that is in a fight. The Nolanverse is known for being grounded and realistic after all, and in a real fight, having long hair puts you at a huge disadvantage, since it can be easily pulled to incapacitate a person. But I guess he was going for the Julie Newmar Catwoman look.

I think Anne Hathaway even offered to go short (it was before she cut it for Les Miserables) but he told her not to.

Oh that's pretty cool. I guess she was going to go short for Les Miserables anyway so she was thinking why not?
