In Hollywood, It’s not surprising to see older women walking around looking 20 years younger than their true age, but with professional chefs and weight trainers it’s no surprise. Reaching her 80th birthday, Selina Kyle never looked so good, and to celebrate, DC will release a special 100 page one-shot. This Catwoman one-shot celebrates 80 years of Catwoman.

Catwoman One-Shot Celebrates a simple life

Catwoman tries to live a simple life, but when that lifestyle crosses not only the GCPD and the mysterious, yet handsome, Batman, simple becomes complicated quickly. Here is what DC says about the forth-coming comic:

“On April 15, 2020, DC will celebrate Catwoman’s 80th anniversary with a landmark one-shot, Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1. Since the character first appeared alongside Batman in 1940’s Batman #1, Catwoman has become an icon to millions of comic book fans. The undeniable magnetism between Batman and Catwoman has been one of comics’ most reliable constants: wherever Catwoman goes, Batman is sure to follow, if only to take her down.”

Catwoman One-Shot: The Look of the Cat

Catwoman has sure changed over the decades. her roles as well as her outfits changed throughout the decades. Being a special issue, it will of course have a multitude of covers, one for each decade in fact. Take a look below at these awesome covers:

  • 40s cover by Adam Hughes
  • 50s cover by Travis Charest
  • 60’s cover by J Scott Campbekk
  • 70s cover by Frankc Cho
  • 80s caption by Stanley Lau
  • 90s cover by Gabrielle Dell’Otte
  • 2010 cover by Jeehyung Lee

Looking these covers over, it’s fascinating to see how Catwoman changed over the decades. She transformed from sexy elegant, to overly sexualized, to realistic and functional. Her skill set and sense of right and wrong changed as well. Add this ambiguity to her growing relationship with Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Catwoman continues to be one of the most popular anti-heroes/off-heroes in comics.

Catwoman One-Shot: Moving Forward

This is a great time to be a Catwoman fan. Not only do we get to celebrate her 80 years, but her future looks to be coming to a head. Selina nearly tied the know with Wayne, which would make an interesting couple. Of course things fell through, and that failure haunts both Bruce and Selina ever since. Some rumors indicate things may not be over between the two.

The Catwoman One-shot releases April 15th and will retail for $9.99. Be sure to check your local comic shops and check back here at Thathashtagshow.com for more information.
