With the continuing expansion of the alternate Batman universe adorably jazz as the Murphyverse , creatorsSean Gordon Murphy and Clay McCormacksat down with Screen Rant at this year’sSan Diego Comic - Conto discuss changes they plan to make to everyone ’s favourite feline anti - heroCatwoman .
As one of Batman ’s early foes and on-going making love interest , Catwoman has been a stapleof the Batman universe since the very first issue ofBatman . While she has changed with the times , one facial expression of Selina ’s lineament has pig-headedly resisted modification - namely , she has almost always been depicted as a hombre burglar . However , just because the Catwoman ’s breaking and entering custom has remained reproducible does not think it is unchangeable , particularly when it comes to the Murphyverse .

One of the most exciting elements of the Murphyverse is the aesthetic permission its creators have to radically depart from such well - known part as Selina Kyle ’s Catwoman . While Murphy and McCormack have not yet found a place forCatwoman in their substitute universe , they have clearly think long and hard about her as a character and how she will be depicted as the universe continues to grow . As the creators full stop out , they have every design of use that artistic licence to Catwoman by adding professional grappling to her list of accomplishments , saying :
tater : Clay , you want to impregnate some wrestling into it , correct ?
McCormack : Yeah , I had wanted to work her in with a new character who kind of stumble on Selena Kyle and through her find out where Selena has been . She ’s not necessarily in a place that you ’d wait she ’d be in . Then they get caught up , so I wanted to use Tommy Elliot in there to just to bring some other side grapheme . But yeah , instill a little bit of pro wrestling into it .
tater : This is his biggest program , and he ’s pop off to do more comics and with the rules of White Knight . He ’s like , as long as I say yeah , it ’s mostly ok . I do n’t give care about wrestling at all . He ’s been pushing this for year now . So I experience like I owe it to him . At this point .
McCormack : I slipped a short bit into Red Hood . I ’m hoping I opened the threshold enough that I can do something more .
A Catwoman drawing on the aesthetics of professional grapple is an alternate interpretation with a huge amount of potentiality . However , it fits perfectly with Murphy ’s vision of how his alternating Batman reality should be . Indeed , in a macrocosm where Jason Todd was the first Robin , and theJoker is a force of good , having a wrestling Catwoman is equation for the course of study . It also allows McCormack a blank slate to create without the limitations of Catwoman ’s past , able-bodied to lean into Selina Kyle ’s sense of theatricality with abandon . In fact , Catwoman ’s original costume would equip perfectly with this reimagining , given her gigantic Arabian tea - head mask would be more at domicile in a wrestling doughnut than worn during a jewel stickup .
