Complaints about the gratuity aside, I have a geek complaint to add:
Why is Catwoman just as good - if not better - at martial arts as Batman in this game? It's not just a fannish complaint - it would make a great gameplay dynamic if she weren't. If her strengths lay mostly in stealth, setting straps, and sneak-takedowns, meaning you'd have to avoid hand-to-hand combat.
She was trained by the Armless Master in martial arts and by Wildcat in boxing and street-fighting. She is a dangerous, clever and resourceful fighter, known for precise, agile attacks and speedy getaways. Her formidable hand-to-hand combat skills are augmented by her cat-like speed, reflexes, balance, and flexibility. Catwoman nas also mastered Dragon Style Kung Fu and Karate. Her skills are good enough to where she has fought off Batman, wounded him, and occasionally defeated him (more than once).

Well, I stand corrected on the fannish front. But I do think it's weird that it seems like she'll be just as proficient as Batman in all physical aspects (I mean, assuming those crazy kicks and takedowns are actual gameplay moves, as they're made to look like) but with even more skills. I guess gadgets and gliding will be what separate them.

While I'm not crazy about the ears on her suit; this should have been the costume used for the movie (as if that last thought hasn't been post to every comic site that covers the DCU).
LOL, are you people kidding? You want moral propriety in your VIDEO GAME?
Attn: You are gamers. That's stigma enough. Pile on the additional fetishes, it makes no difference.
Well looks like Catwoman gets off on fighting. sheesh. Something can be sexy with being overtly so.

Fleshing out is right.

I say...
I'll be needing some new pants.
I was a little less excited at this prospect with every gratuitous booty shot.
