Keeping with the Batman Family theme for today, this is another ancient drawing of mine colored in the middle 2000s, with Catwoman in her "Jim Balent" costume.  I only drew this because I'm such a fan of the Catwoman character.  This version never did much for me.  I'll grant Jim Balent's version of Selina as long, sleek and feline (except for the two basketballs tucked into her blouse) was a proper choice, but the costume design seemed fetishist without being utilitarian.  The outfit she wears now, courtesy of Darwyn Cooke, is both fetishist AND utilitarian and I like it a whole lot better.  But there are still people out there who prefer the above costume and will defend it to their dying breath. 

To each their own.
