Catwoman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family by Ann Nocenti
1.0
Horrendous. I am still horrified by the characterization of Catwoman, which was unfitting and belittled her normal wily, chaotic but sophisticated demeanor. While pursuing my volume, I often thought that I would rather have Winick continue to write this character instead.
For one, I am tired of Catwoman as a simple thief, who craves diamonds (let's not mention that diamonds were incorrectly referred to as a rock) and has little regard for Gotham/Batman's mission. Nocenti's Selina Kyle is a whiny, self-centered and foolish girl, who is boy-crazy and has awful fashion taste.
And I kept thinking where is the sophisticated, classy and confidant Selina Kyle? Someone who is Batman's equal but ultimately travels on the other side of the tracks? Well, I can tell you that she is not in this volume.
There was nothing I particularly liked about Volume 3 and I feel as if DC should issue an apology for how appalling this depiction of Catwoman was.
