From Michelle Pfeiffer to Zoë Kravitz, Batman’s lover and adversary has always brought a much-needed dose of style and sauce to a grim Gotham City.
Eartha Kitt’s casting for the third and final season of the show came along in 1967, the same year as the United States Supreme Court moved to strike down anumber of anti-interracial marriage laws. Even so, Kitt’s Catwoman and Adam West’s Batman weren’t so much sexual interests as they were professional adversaries. At a time when roles for Black women on television were exceedingly rare, the actress cemented her status as a television icon with powerfully animated line deliveries.
“If Selina was a woman on the edge, Pfeiffer’s Catwoman is one who has leapt right off it into the abyss, determined to remake herself into the opposite of everything she was told she was supposed to be: quiet, obedient, servile.”
