greetings nerdy list aficionados and
welcome back to top 10 nerd today we're
taking a look at some more alternate
versions who may be better than the
original with the caveat mileage varies
there's also not as many alternate
catwoman as you would think is that
because the original is so good you tell
me
also r.i.p her first origin I'll never
be over your one but that's enough
meandering from me
I'm Sasha and these are the top 10
alternate versions of Catwoman better
than the original let's get started
[Music]
numbered head kingdom come kingdom come
as a famous miniseries from 1996 with
gorgeous art throughout by Alex Ross
this is an else world story featuring an
age superhero population who have
largely moved on to make way for the
next generation however they're largely
met a spawn and new heroes are much more
violent and more antihero II so brutal
the type of hero when they tell you they
saved you you go but did you though this
project was pitched as similar in scope
to Watchmen is it you decide in this
universe Catwoman is retired and she
runs a multi-billion dollar cosmetics
company so maybe the 2004 captain took a
note from this but then was like you
know what else is awesome the Silver Age
and basketball kalma is mostly seen in
the background and hanging out with the
Riddler who has such a good redemption
arc main verse then they wrecked Conda
and now they're trying to make him some
kind of God to your villain so we'll see
how that goes I like the idea of
Catwoman just having an awesome life
with or without Bruce number 9 Catwoman
Beyond Batman Beyond Batman of the
future once the animated series ended
there was a comic series that continued
on in that universe and in that series
there was some more legacy villains
introduced one of those was Catwoman but
this was a very different Catwoman from
Selena this Catwoman was the daughter of
Danton black a villain known as
multiplex he was a firestorm villain
whose name makes me think of a parking
garage she goes by black and she
inherited her father's duplication
abilities however she can't make
limitless copies of herself she can only
make nine hence Catwoman is a choice cuz
cats have nine lives I don't know I'd
always be afraid the other copies to try
and take me out like the Batman episode
an underrated series that had some solid
episodes check it out she would start
off having a rivalry with Terry McGinnis
Batman or the tomorrow night as they
sometimes call him but eventually end up
liking him and help him when hush
resurfaced so it was a fun dynamic
Catwoman number eight Catwoman Batman
ninja Batman ninja what an experience
the Japanese samurai a you film that
nobody asked for but most are okay with
existing so Batman is sent back in time
to feel Japan and it turns out that
everybody got there before him and
established themselves because of how
they got back they got back via quake
engine and Batman was farthest away from
the explosion so he got there last the
Joker is already running Samurai so
Batman is told what is going on by
Catwoman who is just rocking it in
feudal Japan the two of them need to
team up and go and look wake Engine
while dealing with Gotham's criminals
who have become crime lords I love the
idea that they would all overcome
language and custom barriers and become
crime lords new you know not just die of
period typical diseases that's the dream
going back in time is only cool if you
don't think about it too hard my
time-travel threshold would be like 1980
mmm so far back in time legwarmers
number 7 Eartha Kitt if I could roll my
arse for Eartha I would but I can't and
it never be as good anyway Eartha Kitt
was the second actress like Catwoman on
the 60s series this was a big deal
particularly for the time she was the
first african-american actress to
portray Catwoman they just went for it
she meshes so well with the rest of the
cast and of course has the requisite hi
mister with Batman though they play that
down because it's the 60s and that's
still scandalous they couldn't even show
dia her and Kirk kiss which is around
the same time period face on they have
to shoot it to the side you know case
some old ladies somewhere fainted
clutching pearls or you know something
more sinister is that gonna happen the
60s Batman series is remembered for its
camp but it was clever and pushed
boundaries and had some great
performances like Eartha Kitt as
Catwoman also she had a song I want to
be evil that is perfect for her role in
this if you can handle the different
style of old TV than death check her out
just the poise and confidence she uses
the entire time she loves being Catwoman
and you the audience love her too number
6
Catwoman guardian of Gotham so in this
story
she's just Batman her parents are Thomas
and Martha Kyle
down in front of her in an alley and if
that happens to anyone you become a
vigilante something about alleyways that
just make you crave justice so why did
she become Catwoman well she ran into
that alley after a stray cat still
better than a bat flying through your
window though Selina is a no-nonsense
protector of Gotham City going up
against the mysterious and sinister
Batman whose design I love who looks
very vampiric yet at the same time she
becomes involved with it even marries
Bruce Wayne it's a cool series but it's
very heavy on the cheesecake and this is
me saying it's so you know when they
must have used like two extra tubs of
cheese it's not the bustier that you
could not possibly fight crime in you
know how tight those things are you
could break your hand maybe its armor
no it's FEM two-face who is wearing half
business skirt half dominatrix thong
combo on the other side this series is
to issues and full of 90s goodness check
it out if you haven't already this
Selina could break your arm just by
looking at you and it's great purple
lipstick number five the nail Batwoman
gee only the nail is a famous out
swirled story where in the course of
history is drastically altered because
the cans hit a nail on the road while
going home and hence never find Clark
the Justice League and other heroes
still emerge but it looks very different
one of the characters who this really
affects is Selina Kyle who is declared
not insane by doctors at Arkham but more
someone who loves a thrill hence her
game of cat-and-mouse with Batman she
actually ends up joining Batman as
Batwoman this is after the death of
Robin at the hands of the Joker which
temporarily pushes Bruce over the edge
but Selina and Alfred help get him out
of it but there is this really awkward
panel of Selina in the Robin costume
that people just love to take out of
contacts that looks really odd out of
context just why Batman its Lina team up
for the win it could work you know
unless it's animated hush oh my god
Bruce I changed for you why won't you
change for me
why won't you just kill people the nail
worth reading and so is it's less than
equal sequel number 4 Selina Gotham by
Gaslight Gotham by Gaslight is a classic
ounce world story but the adaptation
made changes and that is what we have to
thank for Selena's appearance here the
film adaptation would see her become an
important player whereas in the comics
he hadn't appeared at all and she has a
more classic non Frank Miller stripper
origins so hey she's a socialite
initially in campaigning for more police
involvement against Jack the Ripper so
when this series he's a theatre star
cabaret to be exact which would be way
more scandalous in this film film movie
ever acknowledges a classic acceptable
Peep Show she ends up getting involved
with Bruce and helping with his
investigation and while batmanning and
she knows who he is and all of that she
ends up being crucial to the day new mom
which is very different from the comic
ending and polarizing some love it and
are all whoo vast improvement and others
are why are you like this number three
Batman lever wing period piece pirate
Catwoman from the 18th century
Capitano Felina a Spanish Contessa the
cat captain she fights for a lutein
equality on the seven seas also Batman
who she's trying to take down as Captain
leather wig just very embarrassing all
around this all went down Detective
Comics annual number seven Batman is
still dressed like Batman but as a
pirate for reasons he still has a Robin
and Catwoman we're talking nineties
Catwoman here people like cat ears
running a pirate ship cracking the whip
literally if you like your period piece
a use and you haven't read this one it
might be a fun one to add to your list
I promise nothing form your own opinion
number two Batman Returns the sequel the
Tim Burton's Batman is changing film the
Batman it's remembered for a few reasons
chief amongst them is Michelle
Pfeiffer's Catwoman this is a very
different take on Catwoman a meet
employee transformed after learning too
much and a murder attempt this
culminates in a head injury that changes
her personality and causes heard a snap
and become Catwoman that did not happen
it's sad she then cobbles together an
iconic leather costume five her
redefined cat wound for a brief moment
to the point that when the 90s animated
series was in production Selina was
designed to look like her rather than
her more traditional raven-haired
appearance this Catwoman had a tragic
manic edge and formed a genuine
connection with both Bruce Wayne and
Batman this resulted in a chemistry that
fans want to see more of
unfortunately Burton wasn't interested
in doing a sequel to that film so
instead we got Batman Forever which
super unpopular opinion I think is worse
than Batman and Robin I await your
judgement number one injustice injustice
gods among us it's just a cool universe
in general so Catwoman has a very
similar year one origin going on here
but all that changes when Superman
snaps Selena sighs with Bruce against
the regime at first but ultimately joins
it and tries to see what she can do /
what she can learn from within and of
course making sure she stays safe this
would drive a huge wedge in her
relationship with Batman you know he
draws lines in the sand hard lines like
everyone in the unjustice verse she's
just well fleshed out so I guess this is
just check out the injustice universe so
cool and spawned from an okay game great
comic so who is your favorite version of
Catwoman let me know also I don't know
tell me something so I can have bonus
content and be cool like the cool kids
I'm hip my trip is hip
I just dive a little inside killing the
other people on set so I'm gonna get out
of here thanks so much for watching top
