Catwoman: My New Comic Book Obsession

So, I think I'm obsessed.

I definitely don't normally think I'm obsessed with things like this, but this might be an exception.

I usually have bursts of obsessions. I get obsessed with things like Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy, or a new video game instantaneously. I play the nights away and Wikipedia everything about the series and the like. However, sooner or later the drug-esque craving subsides and I drift on down to baseline once again. It's fun when it lasts.

This is different however. Let me give you some background first.

I've always loved Catwoman since I was a kid. I was transfixed on her as Michelle Pfeiffer backflipped across the alleyways in Batman Returns. It was awesome, I'm not gonna lie. She was always my favorite as a kid just because of all of her gymnastic capabilities. She was quick, nimble, and super sneaky.

I tried my hardest finding video games which let me play as her. But that was to no avail. There was one Game Boy game that had her in it that came out and long time ago, but it definitely was not worth it in the slightest. So, I figured I'd just settle with watching her.

That all changed with Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe. Catwoman was a playable character. I screamed. I immediately rushed out, rented it, and played as Catwoman. Her playstyle was quick and nimble, although she wasn't as "flippy," which made me kind of sad. Anyways, Catwoman has always had this spot in my heart as one of my favorites.

Recently though, she's definitely climbed up higher.

I've been getting all of the comics she's had. I've bought Catwoman inspired shoes. I've even got a Catwoman visual guide coming to me sometime next week. I'm also debating on posters for my dorm room. It's bad.

However, most of this is due to Batman Arkham City's release in October and The Dark Knight Rises. Both of these are featuring Catwoman in big roles. Arkham City is going to make Catwoman playable, and the Dark Knight rises features Anne Hathaway as the sultry villain. I have been scouring the internet for any news on Anne Hathaway's costume, as it's sure to be my wallpaper as soon as the promotional media of her is released like Bane's was.

Anyways, that's a look into my obsession. I love me some Selina Kyle. And okay, I'll shut up now. :x
