Catwoman is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Batman #1, then compare it with Detective Comics #569–570 and Catwoman #1–4 (1993). Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
Connection: Name/concept only; largely original character
