Costume Spotlight: Catwoman

Right now, the Batman books are in the middle of a storyline officially called "The Gift", but many fans are calling "Batpoint". The gist is that Batman and Catwoman are getting married, and as a wedding present, Booster Gold went back and saved Batman's parents from death. This creates an alternate reality that, frankly, the details of which aren't worth getting into. But suffice to say, Booster Gold realizes he made a mistake and now has to fix it.

To do so, he thinks getting Bruce and Selina in the same room will spark something in Bruce that will want him to put the world back to normal. This happens in Batman #46 (May 2018), and Booster thinks the best way to jog his memory is to have Selina dress up as Catwoman. But since she doesn't have a Catwoman suit, Booster - despite not being great at sewing - decides to make one anyway.

 Here's a closer look:


As I'm sure you can tell, this outfit is based on Michelle Pfeiffer's rendition of Catwoman in Batman Returns (1992):


This isn't the first time that version of Catwoman has influenced the comics.
