A Cat and a Bat

Fairly old suck, but a mind boggling one nonetheless.

You picked up Catwoman, and not the Halle Barry one (hurray for small blessings). Now, nobody's expecting you to be DROPDEAD AWESOME at playing her flirtatious / seductive side, but uh...you know what she DOESN'T do?

She doesn't attempt to get away from a simple heist by just straight up flashing her tits at Robin, the only one there to stop her. And as much as I wish this were just me exaggerating skimpy attire or something, it's not, you literally had her unzip her bodysuit and flash her tits. That was her Plan A. While I'm not saying that wouldn't at least be a distraction to the vast majority of the male population, I can't figure out how on earth you got this character with such genius ideas as that.

Why does a highly skilled thief, and one who's more than a little gifted in physical combat and acrobatics at that, need to resort to THAT as her main getaway plan? Hell, she's usually hot for Batman, and she readily fights him!

On top of that, I get that you wanted something exciting to do with her, but when she's at the Iceberg Lounge for a meeting with a [present] guest list featuring The Mad Hatter, The Riddler, The Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Mister Freeze, The Joker, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, literally EVERY LAST ONE OF THE ROGUES EXCEPT FOR BANE, POISON IVY, BLACK MASK, AND HUSH (seriously, even Calendar Man was there), I'm pretty certain she wouldn't be stupid enough to announce she's going to be selling off the identity of Batman and everyone in the Bat-family. Even ignoring the whole conflict of interests that presents with her, there's another reason this is out and out moronic: at least half the guest list is willing to KILL SOMEONE to prevent them from spoiling it for them. Joker HAS killed someone, declaring if anyone's going to unmask the Bat, it's going to be him. Why she'd do this within fifty feet of him and every other damn near psychotic sociopath in the city is one hell of a mystery.

Seriously, how the flaming hell did you get this character?

doing it wrong, characterization fail, batman
