Getting into the Christmas spirit Catwoman ued funds from a recent theft to help Sawyer relocate.

(Catwoman II #46, 47) - Alley-Cat showed up at Zee's house, and Catwoman tied up her imitator, not trusting her. She-Cat had a first edition of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde owned by Robert Louis Stevenson, and was looking for a buyer. Catwoman didn't like the idea of Zee doing business with her, but Alley-Cat pleaded, and Catwoman allowed Zee to look for a buyer as long as she took half the cut. Moreland was getting closer to understanding Catwoman with his psych profile, and Selina was none too pleased. She needed to distract him, and they kissed, and he admitted he'd fallen for her. She said she didn't want to rush things, and had to leave him because she had a previous engagement. Zee's man Starkey had a potential buyer, and Alley-Cat and Catwoman provided protection. The buyer turned out to be Two-Face, and when he failed to steal the book he set Starkey's bootleg whiskey ablaze before fleeing. Catwoman saved the book, escaped the blaze, and told Two-Face's goons she was willing to trade with Two-Face at midnight. Now interested in taking down the villain and not fencing, Catwoman told Zee the deal was off. Alley-Cat said the book belonged to her and attacked her. Zee protested as their scrap destroyed his precious objects d'art, and told Alley-Cat he wasn't doing business with her anymore. While Catwoman waited for Two-Face she found that she couldn't get Moreland out of her mind. She got the drop on Two-Face and defeated him, but Alley-Cat had followed her, and demanded the book back. Catwoman was in no mood for another round, so after throwing a clusterbomb at Alley-Cat she knocked her out with a kick to the head. She left the book on Mooreland's doorstep, further convincing him that Catwoman was not all bad.

(Hitman #15-17) - The disguised demon Mawzir hired Catwoman to steal the Ace of Winchesters from the Gotham Museum of Antiquities. Mawzir ambushed Hitman and his friend Natt the Hat, threatening to drag them to Hell, but they escaped him. Hitman and Natt were staying at the Hotel Remington, and he Hitman wanted to get a hold of Catwoman, because he’d seen images of her when he read Mawzir’s mind. He used a cat that got hit by a car and a searchlight on top of the hotel to create a makeshift cat-signal. Catwoman showed up, although she wasn’t thrilled with the way she’d been summoned. After talking she realized that the man who hired her to steal the Ace of Winchesters from the Gotham Museum and then vanished in a puff of brimstone was Mawzir in disguise. She agreed to help Hitman and Natt take down the demon because she didn’t work with bad guys and she didn’t like being used. Hitman figured they could use Jason Blood’s help, and told Catwoman to call him posing as a nun whose convent was haunted. When Catwoman left Hitman and Natt cooed over her, having both been smitten with her looks. Blood believed Catwoman’s story, and when he arrived in Gotham he was met by Hitman, who reminded him that he owed him two million dollars or at the very least a big favor. Sean Noonan allowed the group to use Noonan’s after hours to discuss strategy. Blood explained that the Ace was forged by an occultist and former Texas Ranger. The prairies of his time had become infested with demons, drawn to the sites of evil perpetrated by colonization, and the Ace of Winchesters was capable of killing them. Blood surmised that Mawzir wanted to keep the gun out of Hitman’s hands. Deborah Tiegel showed up, telling Hitman they had to talk about her admitting to her feelings the night before. Mawzir’s men spotted Hitman’s group and phones their boss. Mawzir and his gang attacked Noonan’s, and Hitman and company fled in Natt’s car. They drove to St. Joe’s cathedral, knowing Mawzir couldn’t enter sacred ground. Mawzir sent his men in and Hitman and company engaged them in a firefight. Hitman said he needed the Ace, and Jason suggested it was in Hell with Mawzir’s masters. Hitman asked Jason to change into Etrigan the Demon to retrieve it, and the thought horrified Jason, who said he had as little to do with Etrigan as possible. Jason reluctantly demanded Demon retrieve the Ace from the Arkannone, threatening him if he didn’t comply. The GCPD sent squad cars to St. Joe’s and Mawzir ordered his men to raze the church so it would no longer be sacred ground. Mawzir slaughtered the GCPD officers in a hail of bullets. In Hell Etrigan was greeted by Kakk, who wondered why he no longer rhymed. Etrigan revealed that his heart was gone, so he felt little pleasure in anything, let alone rhyming. Etrigan asked after Baytor, and Kakk was saddened to report that the Crown of Horns had only made his insanity worse, and he was incapable of ruling Hell in any meaningful way. Kakk accompanied Etrigan to Baytor’s castle, where Baytor unleashed his acid spew, disintegrating Kakk. Etrigan wrested the Crown away from Baytor, who was happy to be his normal level of insane again. Mawzir’s men started ramming the church with their cars, breaking down the walls. Sixpack showed up, offering his help and brandishing a broken beer bottle. He narrowly avoided being gunned down by Mawzir’s help, and Hitman begged him to leave and get to safety. Sixpack said he’d be back, because he was putting his old team Section 8 back together.

(Hitman #18-20) - Etrigan, with Baytor tagging along, confronted the Arkannone and demanded the Ace of Winchesters. The Arkannone responded by summoning a giant gun and shooting Etrigan, leaving him a smoldering pile of bones. Etrigan was healed by the Crown of Horns and forced the Arkannone into a confrontation. The Arkannone realized they were outmatched and contacted Mawzir, demanding he return to Hell and protect them. Mawzir told them no because all he cared about was vengeance on Hitman, and that he was tired of being their pawn anyway. Etrigan ripped the Arkannone to pieces, threw down the Crown of horns, and claimed the Ace. Jason Blood told Hitman and company he’d need a few more hours to transport the Ace from Hell. Hitman said they didn’t have that much time and told him to summon Etrigan. Blood refused, so Hitman restrained him, and used the spell needed to turn Blood into Etrigan that he’d found while reading Jason’s mind. Jason was furious, but events had gone beyond his control. Etrigan seemed pleased to see Hitman, who was already regretting his decision to summon him. Etrigan threatened Hitman, who reminded him they were on sacred ground. Etrigan scoffed, saying he had no fear of bringing the wrath of angels down, and breathed fire, starting a fire in St. Joe’s. Etrigan told Hitman he’d give him the Ace in exchange for his heart, which Jason Blood kept in a box, but neither trusted the other to make the first transaction. The demonfire desecrated the church, enabling Mawzir and his men to storm it, so Tommy and his friends fled to the church’s crypt. Mawzir was surprised to see Etrigan, wo promised him he wasn’t there to interfere because he hated Hitman too. Mawzir was well aware Etrigan had destroyed his masters and said he knew what every demon in Hell knew, that Etrigan was never to be trusted. Sixpack reassembled his old superhero team, Section Eight, who made the scene, and despite their outward ridiculousness they held their own against the mobsters, brutalizing them in different ways. Etrigan realized Baytor had escaped Hell by stowing away in his cape and let the demon know he didn’t appreciate him messing with the possessions in his cowl. Mawzir got tired of the situation and detonated an explosive that blew up the church. Catwoman was injured and Mawzir took Deborah Tiegel hostage. Hitman, seeing no other choice, handed over Etrigan’s heart to the demon. Hitman aimed the Ace of Winchesters at Mawzir, who was terrified, but an empty click let him know the gun was unloaded. Mawzir started battering Hitman, promising to take him to Hell and torture him for eternity. Demon, with his hear6t back in his chest, was pleased that he was whole again and had betrayed someone he had a grudge against. Baytor had made off with the Ace’s ammunition and refused to give it back to Etrigan, hissing at him. Catwoman posed seductively, convincing Baytor to give her the ammo, which she tossed to Hitman. Hitman shot Mawzir with the Ace, and he was once again the group of damned Nazi soldier souls. The Nazis pleaded that they were only following orders, and Hitman executed every one of them with a handgun. Etrigan was tempted to attack Hitman, but knew he didn’t dare risk being shot by the Ace and changed back into Blood. Jason cursed Hitman for making the Demon whole again, saying he’d increased his burden a thousand fold. Catwoman mocked him, saying he should have paid Hitman the two million he owed him in the first place. Section Eight survived the church explosion, and even though they were all injured to some degree, with Defenestrator having lost his arm, Sixpack told Hitman they were still in fighting shape. Sixpack was proud of his team, and told them he’d bring them together again the next time evil and injustice needed avenging. Hitman, Natt, Catwoman and Deborah celebrated their victory at Noonan’s. Hitman asked Sean if Baytor could stay at Noonan’s until he found his own place. Sean was hesitant, worried that he’d scare off customers. Hitman reminded him that a giant space monster ate the sun during final night, and people got used to weird things, so Sean let him stay. Hitman offered to give Catwoman the Ace, saying she could get a hefty price for it, but she said she had a feeling he might be in need of a gun that killed demons again, and told him he wasn’t a half bad person for a hired killer. Etrigan surprised Hitman, and admitted he liked him because he always had an interesting time when they met, but warned him that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try to kill him again one day, because he always held on to his grudges.

(Catwoman II #48, 49) - Zee presented Catwoman with a real challenge, infiltrating the terrorist organization S.P.I.D.E.R. in the Riviera and absconding with their riches. Zee reminded her she owed him for destroying her valuables, and she figured she could get away from Gotham for a while to keep her mind off Moreland. Using her scuba-suit she broke into S.P.I.D.E.R. 's undersea lair, but Morella, their leader, had been observing her through hidden video cameras, and offered her a job. She was agog at seeing all the riches they had, and decided to play along while thinking about how to steal the most valuables from them. She stole a Toltec crystal skull from them, but then determined to have it for herself. Clutterbuck delivered her a device to jam S.P.I.D.E.R. 's surveillance tech. Morella was going to use the crystal skull for psychological warfare, disrupting the politics of South America so she could raid it. Catwoman got her hands on the skull, but was confronted by Morella's henchmen Widow and Spider. Catwoman was cornered, and Morella tried to feed her to sharks, so Catwoman was forced to flee without the skull, and escaped the lair in a speedboat. She knew they'd never suspect her breaking back in, so that's what she did, and contacted Zee, telling him to send the coast guard by midnight. She gathered a huge sack of loot, including the crystal skull, and activated the lair's self-destruct sequence. Morella battled her, and slashed at her with poison-tipped claws, but Catwoman turned the weapon on its user. As the clock ticked down S.P.I.D.E.R. evacuated, amd Catwoman used her scuba-suit to swim away with her loot unnoticed. Unfortunately she'd gotten greedy, and was barely able to swim with the heavy treasures she was lugging. As she dumped some items an octopus grabbed her, and she spilled most of her plunder, including the skull. Back on dry land she was disappointed with what she had left, but later cheered up, adorning herself with some ill-gotten jewlery and working on her tan.

(Catwoman II #50) - Zee gave Catwoman an easy heist job, but it was interrupted by Cyber-Cat, who'd been stalking her for weeks, and who wanted revenge for Catwoman making her look bad in front of Syntex. Catwoman was no match for her in close combat, and was forced to flee, battered and shredded by Cyber-Cat's claws. She managed to tail Cyber to her hideout before going to see Zee about getting patched up. Zee was with his new girlfriend Ulrika, who was already sick of hearing him talk about Catwoman. Catwoman returned home to rest, and had an identity crisis, no longer sure of why she was still a thief. She knew her awful upbringing didn't really entitle to take whatever she wanted, and some of the thrill of the chase was gone. She reflected that she might need love, and not items to fill the void she felt. She had dinner with Moreland, even though she was sick of hearing him talk about Catwoman, and they started to get intimate, but Selina once again backed off and left him to sleep in her own apartment. Clutterbuck created a robotic exoskeleton for her so she'd stand a fighting chance against Cyber-Cat. It was loaded with hi-tech weapons like a retractable whip and wrist-mounted explosives, but she said it really wasn't to her taste, and reminded her too much of the suit Azrael wore when he was Batman. She ambushed Cyber-Cat, and after a heated battle managed to destroy Cyber's battlesuit, leaving her to wallow in self-pity. Catwoman then returned the suit to Clutterbuck and told him to junk it. She still didn't know the why of Selina Kyle, but she did know she still enjoyed being an adventurer.

(Catwoman II #51-53) - Catwoman busted up a new drug house that popped up in Gotham, and stole the take they had on premises, rationalizing that they shouldn't profit from their crimes, but she should. Huntress was after the same drughouse, and told Catwoman she wanted the money. Catwoman protested, but when Huntress told her it would go to charity for drug rehab Catwoman said she could be persuaded to be altruistic, but she had a bigger idea. Catwoman knew where the Cartagenas drug compound was, where they could score big money, but she never had the backup to tackle it until now. They took out the guards, put the dogs to sleep, and made their way to the Cartegnas' safe. One dog was still awake and alerted Rafael Cartegna, aka Skullface, and his men, and Huntress and Catwoman blamed each other for the screw-up. A button-bomb from Catwoman gave the duo time to regain their composure and knock out the criminals. When they were ready to part ways Catwoman took her 10% cut, but Huntress changed her mind and said she wanted all the money for her charity, chasing Catwoman into a tree. Catwoman gave her the money, and told her to just ask nicely next time. That night Selina continued to struggle with her feelings for Moreland, and he broke into her apartment. He'd been listening to the voice-recording of his initial encounter with Catwoman, and noticed the similarity to Selina's voice. That combined with the diary he realized belonged to Selina made up his mind that he had his woman. Selina pleaded ignorance, and told him she had genuine feelings for him, but he wasn't buying it. He revealed himself as the serial killer Headhunter, a misogynist who killed women because he felt rejected by them, and Selina was his next target. Moreland chased her with his blade, alernating between blaming her for "forcing" him to kill, and begging her to return his affection. She fled to the rooftop, and Moreland up and left. She changed into Catwoman, not being able to risk him going off to kill another innocent woman. She went to his apartment, and it was cleaned out except for some skulls and a message to meet him at Babylon Towers, where they first met. He was in the caved in city of the dead, and had a gun to his head. He was going to kill himself, but then decided to kill her first and started shooting. He had her cornered when he decided to impale himself on a sharp board. Catwoman was aghast, but kept her composure long enough to call the police, and gather all the evidence Moreland had on Catwoman's identity. She was shaken by the horror of the night, and couldn't see herself enjoying the romance of thievery and sneaking in the dark again anytime soon.

(Batman Versus Predator 3 #2) - Catwoman was in the middle of a heist when she was targeted by alien Predators. Batman chased them off in a Jaeger Attack helicopter, and Catwoman decided it was a good night to stay at home and watch a movie.

(Catwoman II #54) - Catwoman stole the Casanova Canary diamond from the Gotham Musuem, and she staid up at night staring at it. She loved that it was unattainable, much like her, but got annoyed at how easily she'd taken it. She thought a 20 million dollar gem should have had better protection and was not properly protected. Selina snuck into the museum and returned it, hoping they'd beef up security and make it harder to steal. The next time she stole it she had to get past a laser security gruid, but still didn't feel challenged, so she kept stealing and returning it each time slipping past the security upgrades. Criminal Two-Ham Sam was recently ripped off by Catwoman, and offered himself and his gang as museum security. They had a firefight with Catwoman, but she still beat them, only to find the gem missing. Curator Roget Colvin had taken the gem in the chaos, and was willing to collect on the upgraded insurance policy. Catwoman figured out his plan, and told him to return the diamond, and warned him to keep paying the insurance policy that she felt showed respect for the value of the treasure.

(Catwoman II #55) - Millionaire Werner Samson started stalking Selina, sending her unwanted gifts and keeping close tabs on her. She told him to buzz off, but he wasn't taking no for an answer, and she disliked someone watching her, making it more difficult to operate as Catwoman. She planned on breaking into his house until she got the idea of stealing the security codes he used, Samson Security protected half of Gotham. Putting on a disguise, she got a temp job working for Samson, posed as a potential security client, and went on a date with him in a third identity, learning he used a mmnemoic device along with his little black book to come up with security codes. She really began to despise him, he beat his wife, and harassed all the women at work. At a New Year's Eve party she got him drunk enough to start discussing his security codes, but he threw a fit when a waitress brought him the wrong drink. He was going to have her fired, despite her protests of being a single mother. Catwoman hated giving up on her plan to steal from him, but decided it would be more satisfying to destroy his confidence. She revealed that she'd been following him for weeks, and had been inside his business after hours. She promised he'd come to harm if he so much as gave another woman a dirty look.

(JLA #16, 17) - Catwoman, disguised as reporter Cat Grant, went to the JLA Watchtower on the moon to cover the announcement of the new lineup. Prometheus infiltrated the Watchtower, set fire to the hydroponic systems that provided the Watchtower with air, and defeated Martian Manhunter, Steel, Huntress and Batman as Hippolyta tried to evacuate the press. Catwoman shed her disguise and defeated Prometheus and he was forced to flee. Prometheus had methods of defeating every hero on Earth, but didn’t keep files on villains, so the newly reformed Catwoman was capable of besting him with her cat-o'-nine-tails.

(JLA #115-119) - Firefly stole diamonds, but was beaten up by Catwoman, who took the diamonds for herself. Batman arrived on the scene, and forced Catwoman to handover her ill-gotten goods. Martian Manhunter arrived and wanted a private word with Batman, but former members of the Secret Society of Super-Villains chose the moment to attack the heroes. Catwoman learned that the villains were in an uproar because members of the JLA had tampered with their memories years ago, Catwoman was wounded in the fight before the villains were driven off, and Batman took her back to the Batcave to recover. Batman revealed to her that the JLA had mindwiped him years ago after he found out they lobotomized Dr. Light. Despero, who was in league with the former Society members, burst into the Batcave, along with Martian Manhunter and Aquaman, whose minds he’d taken. He took Batman’s mind and turned him against Catwoman. The JLA responded and Zatanna put Despero in suspended animation. Catwoman was shaken by being attacked by Batman and left in anger. Batman shared his feelings with Martian Manhunter that the JLA could have altered Catwoman’s mind. She was once a fierce enemy, but after a brief membership in the Secret Society she became an ally of sorts.

(Catwoman III #48, 49) - Batman learned that Catwoman was undercover in Strange's group, and asked her to have a talk with him in the Batcave. He warned her that Strange was as dangerous as any of his enemies, and as much as he respected her heart and intelligence he was worried that she was out of her depth fighting supervillains. Catwoman said she had no choice; ever since the Gang Wars Batman was Gotham's only hero, and she was the sole protector of the East End, so she had to draw a line in the sand. She revealed her plan to take down Strange, and Batman had to admit he was impressed. She met with Holly and Karon, telling Holly that no matter how bad things looked to trust that she was going to be okay. Angle Man didn't trust Catwoman, and had followed her to her meeting with Todd Russel, hearing her say she was taking Strange down. He confronted her, telling her he knew what she was up to. She said Strange would never believe a nobody like him over a professional like her, but he produced a tape recording of her conversation with Smart Bomb. He said he was sick of no one taking him seriously, and could deal with Strange speaking condescendingly to him, but not Catwoman. He produced a gun, and shot her in the stomach. Angle called Strange, who brought along Smart Bomb and Hammer, and Strange gave him permission to finish off Catwoman, so he stabbed her in the head with an angle. Hammer disposed of the body, but "Catwoman" was actually Todd using his Clayface shapeshifting power. Catwoman got the drop on the gang, defeating Sickle with some help from Smart Bomb, and beating Angle Man with a bat. Captain Cold had already left the group because he didn't approve of senseless murder, and she finished off the crew by hitting Hammer with a number of tranq darts. She threatened Strange, telling him to get out of town, and never come back, and he complied. She thanked Todd for his help, and said he was free, and wouldn't have to worry about her or Batman going after him. She knew he'd been turned into a monster and a killer, and believed him when he said he'd changed since his imprisonment. Catwoman tried to unwind with a cup of coffee when Zatanna arrived to say she had some bad news.

(Catwoman III #50, 51) - Catwoman asked if Zatanna could teleport them to the French Riviera for their talk, because that's how she would use magical powers. Zatanna said Batman warned her she avoid conversations by changing focus, but teleported them into Catwoman's apartment, which Catwoman said was an invasion of her privacy. Zatanna asked Catwoman if she'd ever wondered why she wa sno longer a criminal, and made her remember Zatanna planting a suggestion in her mind to turn good years ago, when the Justice League of America was using her powers to mindwipe or forcibly rehabilitate villains. Catwoman felt completely violated and unsure of herself, and after taping Zatanna's mouth shut so she couldn't use magic, pushed her out a window. Zatanna removed the tape before Catwoman could pounce on her, and froze her in place. Zatanna said the Justice League had no right to manipulate her mind, but she had a right to know, and with that she disappeared. Catwoman raged that all the good she'd done was only because someone forced her to be a hero, and she felt like she didn't know who she was anymore. Catwoman broke into Wayne Manor to speak to Bruce, and told him how his Justice League buddies were her responsible for her transformation from villain to hero. Bruce was completely unaware of what they'd done, and she asked him as a friend and former enemy and lover who she truly was before the JLofA tinkered with her head. He assured her that she was in control of her mind and life no matter what they'd done to her, but she felt unsatisfied with his answer and left. Catwoman, embracing her old ways, stole a car and drove off, but was soon pulled over. The officer recognized her and pulled a gun, so she slashed his face to escape. She visited Holly and Karon, who'd been attacked. They told her Black Mask was responsible, and had kidnapped Slam Bradley. She broke into Black Mask's building, and after shooting a guard in the shoulder, forced him to show her where Mask's dungeon was. Black Mask and his ally Angle Man were unconscious, taken down by Smart Bomb, who was cradling Slam's near lifeless body. He wasn't wearing his mask, and Catwoman was shocked to learn that Smart Bomb was Sam Bradley.

(Catwoman III #52) - Sam flew Slam to the hospital, and despite his injuries he was tough, and looked to pull through. Sam visited Selina Kyle at home, and she wondered if he'd figured out her secret identity by himself, because he was very much his father's son. He said Slam had a GCPD officer guarding him at the hospital, but Selina said that wouldn't help her, and she'd have to be proactive taking down Black Mask. Selina received a number of surveillance photos of Holly in the mail, and went to warn her that she was being stalked. Holly told her to get a grip, and was convinced Catwoman could handle Black Mask and keep her safe. Catwoman asked Sam for help raiding Black Mask's penthouse. He was off the force for his previous break in, but agreed to help, breaking the Smart Bomb suit out of evidence. Angle Man had sabotaged the suit, and Sam made a crash landing into a rooftop, barely clinging to life as he was rushed to the hospital. Catwoman visited Slam in the hospital, and even though he was comatose she felt the need to talk to him. She'd almost decided that to keep her friends safe she'd have to take out Black Mask permanently. She broke into Black Mask's penthouse, and he kept her at bay with a tommy gun. He said he'd never lived up to his full potential as a Gotham-based villain, and had decided he needed focus, and had chosen Catwoman as a nemesis. He wouldn't kill her, because he needed an adversary, but he promised that all her friends would die slow, horrible deaths. Catwoman disarmed him, and put a gun to his head. Black Mask said he knew her, and she'd never pull the trigger. She shot Black Mask in the head, killing him, and fled the penthouse.

(Catwoman III #58 (fb), 59 (fb)) - Black Mask's lieutenant Xavier Dylan discovered his body, and said reprisal had to be swift and brutal. Catwoman overheard him ordering Martin and Lewis to Gotham General to kill Sam Bradley, Jr. Catwoman rushed to the hospital, but the two thugs fought well in tight quarters. Sam woke up, and shot Louis, saving her life before passing out again. Catwoman was amazed at his fortitude, and thought she might be in love. When he was released from the hospital Selina told Sam that Black Mask's death had left a power void that his loyal lieutenants would soon fill, and they decided they had to take extreme measures to destroy the False Face Society once and for all, even if it meant their own deaths. Selina had one other thing to bring up, the obvious attraction they had for each other since the day they met. Sam agreed there was something there, but the circumstances were strange, and Selina replied that falling for someone while undercover in a criminal gang was normal in her world. Knowing they might not have another chance to express themselves they made love.

(Catwoman III #62 (fb)) - Catwoman and Sam took out the remains of the False Face Society, taking apart their operations a piece at a time. They took down Xavier Dylan, the second-in-command, and even though Catwoman originally intended to kill him, she decided she couldn't murder again, and handed him over to the authorities. The rush of their success ignited passion, and Sam and Catwoman made love again. Before long Selina realized she was pregnant, but before she could tell Sam he was abducted by Xavier, who'd been released on bond. He tied up Sam and beat him, taking his cell and calling Catwoman to lure her to her death. Sam was being held in a kitchen, and when he realized the stove had a gas leak he set off an explosion that destroyed Xavier's compound, killing him and his men. He was blown clear, but fatally wounded. Catwoman begged him to stay with her, saying he was going to be a father, and he passed on happy that Selina and their baby was safe.

(Catwoman III #55 (fb), 56 (fb), 57 (fb)) - After a mugger nearly grazed her with a lucky shot she realized she had obligations to her unborn child that were greater than her need to be a daredevil.

(Catwoman III #54 (fb), 53) - <one year later> Selina never wanted children because of how dangerous the world was, but admitted to herself that plans changed. She left the East End, and took up residence in the posh Gotham Arms as Irena Dubrovna to cut ties with her past. She still felt an obligation to the East Enbd, and Holly Robinson agreed to train and take her place as the new Catwoman. Selena gave birth, and after her release from the hospital Slam drove by and gave her a lift home. He was curious as to Selina's choice of the name Helena for her girl, and wondered why Holly had a shiner. Selina said Helena rhymed with Irena, and Holly said she ran into a door. Slam grumbled that people kept forgetting he used to be a detective, and told them to enjoy their mysteries. Selina was already enjoying motherhood, and received a social call from Batman, who'd set up a college fund for Helena, and brought a giant teddy bear as a gift. Selina was grateful, and laughed at the idea of the fearless crimefighter holding a teddy. Batman told her he thought it was foolhardy to send Holly into action, and Selina said he of all people had no right to criticize the idea of making a youth into a sidekick, and assured him Holly would be fine.

(Catwoman III #54) - Helena woke up Selina in the middle of the night, and she told her girl she'd never believe what she used to do in the dead of night. On the news there was still a debate over Black Mask's death, and if his murderer should be pursued. Selina was troubled about keeping Helena safe without her growing up as cynical as she was. Karon called Selina, saying Holly still hadn't returned from patrol, but Selina assured her her girlfriend was well trained and most likely fine. Selina caught the late night Film Freak TV show, and he showed a video of an injured Holly brutally beating Angle Man. Selina had never that much anger in Holly before, and wondered what she'd done to her friend.

(Catwoman III #55-57) - Selina took Slam out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, and he worried about the price, but she assured him that her checkered past had left her very well off. Selina said he hadn't been acting like himself lately, and he admitted that with all the changes in everyone's lives around him he hadn't changed at all and felt like a relict or a fossil. He just grumbled when she assured him he wasn't that old. Batman ran a deep background check on Selina's prospective babysitter Miranda, and found her to be clean. Selina thanked him, and he said there was nothing more important to him than protecting the innocent. Selina couldn't resist gearing up as Catwoman and running the rooftops. One of Film Freaks goons took a shot at her, but Holly / Catwoman came to her rescue. One of Film Freak's contributors caught footage of the two Catwomen talking in an alley. Selina said she knew she made the right decision picking Holly as Catwoman, and they picked up a cab back home. Holly thought they should be more inconspicuous, but Selina assured her that cabbies saw too many weird things in Gotham to care about two women dressed like Catwoman. Holly got a call from Wildcat about busting up a chop shop, and went on her way, while Selina went to her safehouse to catch up on a few hours sleep before daybreak. Selina got a call from Miranda as Film Freak and Angle Man broke into Selina's loft. She suited up as Catwoman, boosted a car, and repeatedly telling herself to stay focused and calm, returned home. Film Freak realized there were two Catwomen, and had seen through Selina's alias because he was a film buff. He wanted to document a final act to Angle Man and Catwoman's conflict, and Angle Man had Helena in his clutches, telling Catwoman she was about to lose everything she cared about. Angle Man asked Film Freak if the sound of a baby screaming would be dramatic for his movie, and Catwoman switched off the lights, grabbed Helena, and fled down the hall. Angle Man hit her in the ankle with an angle, causing her to topple over, but she thought fast and cushioned Helena. Film Freak halted Angle Man, wanting a classic Trombone shot to capture Catwoman's anxiety before Angle Man finished her off. Catwoman smashed the camera into his face, injuring his eye and disabling him before taking down Angle Man and tying them both up. Angle Man promised that since they knew who she was she'd never be safe again, nor would her child. He taunted her that she could always kill him, since he knew she was a murderer. Catwoman called Zatanna, and told her she needed to erase their memories or she'd be forced to kill them. Zatanna said she didn't manipulate people's minds anymore, and Catwoman said she owed her.

(Catwoman III #58) - Zatanna arrived, and Angle Man reiterated that he'd gone from a nobody to the man that was going to inform every lunatic and criminal where they could find Catwoman and her daughter. Catwoman tended to Helena, and left Zatanna alone with the villains. Angle Man said he knew how Zatanna lobotomized Dr. Light, and said being a supervillain wasn't working out for him, so he'd be fine if she wiped his mind clean. She insisted she didn't do that anymore, and reached inside his mind to erase his knowledge of Catwoman's private identity. Catwoman grew impatient with how long the process took, but knew she never wanted to kill someone again if she could help it. Zatanna finished her work on Film Freak and Angle Man, and told them to confess their crimes. Catwoman said they still weren't even, and suggested Zatanna make them confess to Black Mask's murder, but she flat out refused. Zatanna said she'd never invade Catwoman's mind again, but it was clear to her she had some dark secrets, and she should deal with them before they tore her apart.

(Catwoman III #59-61) - Wildcat went to see Selina to tell her Holly was being framed for Black Mask's murder, saying that Holly called him first because Selina's first obligation was to her child. Selina said she still owed it to Holly to watch out for her, and hatched a breakout plan that would involve the JSA. Wildcat said the JSA didn't break the law, and she snapped that they were clearly not interested in justice even though they called themselves the Justice Society. She slipped into her Catwoman costume, and told Wildcat to watch Helena while she took care of the situation herself. Catwoman woke Slam Bradley, who'd drunk himself into a stupor, but he said he couldn't help because he no longer had friends on the force. Catwoman caught a brief report on Film Freak's bizarre murder spree. Realizing she was really on her own Catwoman stole blueprints for the East End precinct from the Gotham Department of Records. Catwoman entered a crawlspace above the East End interrogation room, where Lenahan kept threatening Holly to get her to give him Catwoman's real name. Catwoman new she needed a distraction, but providence came when Film Freak unleashed a giant gorilla on the East End in an homage to "King Kong," and Lenahan and Worth were called away to deal with it. Catwoman rescued Holly and she was overjoyed. Catwoman couldn't stand to see the East End police destroy the dumb brute rampaging through the city, but said Holly had been through enough, so she should go home and tell Karon she was alright while Catwoman dealt with it. Catwoman knocked out the giant gorilla with a smoke bomb, disabling it, but saving it's life. Selina spent time with Helena, Karon and Holly, and followed the Film Freak's rampage. Karon figured out that he was carrying out violent reenactments of classical films through the ages, and wondered what movie he'd use as his finale. Film Freak hijacked a Gotham TV network, killing everyone except the movie critic. He said his movie was about to end in an explosive finale, and challenged the audience to save Gotham City by figuring out the connection in "Dr. Strangelove," "Killers from Space," and "Return of the Living Dead." Karon told Selina she didn't know the answer despite being a fangirl, and after Film Freak forced Bobby the critic to go on a high-speed chase through the East End reminiscent of "The French Connection" Selina suited up and pursued them. Film Freak threw a grenade that injured Catwoman, and acquired the uranium he needed to finish his bomb with which he'd destroy Gotham. Catwoman fought through her internal injuries, and Karon, after reviewing the films in Film Freak's riddle put her on the track of nuclear armageddon. Film Freak prepared for his finale in a classic theatre, shooting Bobby, saying he needed to be the only star. He showed Catwoman the bomb, and when she tried to dissuade him from following through, he showed her that it was already armed, and he was more concerned with his place in history than saving his skin. As he spouted more movie quotes Catwoman overpowered him and beat him bloody. Holly arrived as Catwoman in time to see Selina disable the nuke. They returned home, where a bloody Slam Bradley was cradling Helena, telling her they needed to have a talk about his granddaughter.

(Catwoman III #62) - Selina realized she owed everyone an explanation, and said her life went off the rails when she killed Black Mask. Holly was stupefied, and angry that Selina never told her. Selina said she did what she did to keep her friends safe, and Slam backed her up in her decision. Slam said his son had told him about his love affair with Selina, and he was hurt because they'd been lovers in the past, and felt Selina had traded him in for a younger model. Selina said that wasn't how it went at all, and while they took down the remains of Black Mask's mob they had spontaneous moments of passion. She recounted how Sam died a hero, and Slam thanked her for having been straight with him. He admitted that he'd been heavily medicated since his son died, and had turned back to the bottle, but thought he had a reason to pull himself out of the hole he was in. Selina and Slam cooed over Helena, and Selina said she had her grandfather's eyes.

(Catwoman III #63-66) - Catwoman wanted to prove to Holly that she couldn't go back to her apartment, so she ordered pizza to her place, and they watched through binoculars as the delivery boy arrived. Lenahan was stalking the lobby, and demanded to know if the pizza boy knew where Holly was. Catwoman said Holly shouldn't underestimate Lenahan, because even though he was one man he was obsessed. Catwoman needed to give Holly a clean slate, which would involve erasing her arrest records, but knew she couldn't go to Oracle because she'd have too many questions. She reached out to Calculator, who told her to drop by his apartment. Calculator was in a meeting with new supervillain team Triple Threat, who wanted him to put in a good word with his connections, and he told him he would if they proved themselves by taking down Catwoman. The Triple Threat were eager to make a name for themselves, but they were inexperienced, and after Catwoman kicked one in the crotch and broke the second's wrist, the third member ran away. Catwoman told Calculator she didn't appreciate his little test, but he wanted to get down to business. In exchange for giving Holly a clean slate he wanted her to steal the Metropolis snowglobe that belonged to his old boss Lex Luthor. Catwoman traveled to Metropolis, and disliked the contrast of the bright city of tomorrow compared to the gloom of Gotham. She took a tour of LexCorp disguised as a tourist, and asked where all of Lex Luthor's stuff was. The tour guide assured her Lex's possessions and inventions were safely locked away in a vault in the sub-basement and posed no danger. Catwoman slipped away from the tour group, and broke into the basement. She'd stolen a teleportation device from Warp, and used it to enter Lex's vault. She was amazed at the array of goods present, and thought it a shame to go away with just a snowglobe. Catwoman ran into her future self, who tried to warn her about the security measures, but she chalked it up to being a security hologram. A robotic sentry activated, and Catwoman disabled it with a high-tech firearm she found. She grabbed the globe, but looked up and saw Lex Luthor behind her. This Luthor was a robotic duplicate with advanced AI, and Catwoman had to fight for her life. Warp's device jammed, so she jumped on a nearby pad, a time travel device that brought her four minutes into the past. After her failed warning she was pulled into the present, and Luthor felled her with a blow. He found her picture of Helena, and threatened her. Catwoman gathered her strength and disabled the Luthor robot, but he was programmed to self-destruct so he didn't fall into enemy hands. Catwoman used the time travel pad again to escape the explosion, which ripped a giant hole through the vault, and when she returned to the present she made her escape. Superman confronted her, and after she convinced him the snowglobe had no intrinsic value, and he should stop hassling her, he told her to get out of his city. She returned to Gotham and called up the Calculator, who was pleased, and said they'd celebrate over drinks, but her conversation was interrupted by Warp, who wanted his device back. She overpowered him, and said the device was gone, but it didn't work properly anyway, so he shouldn't be sore. She forced him to teleport to Calculator's apartment after threatening to claw his eyes out. Warp told Calculator he'd pay, but Calculator reminded him he had a huge amount of dirt on Warp he could give to law enforcement and the tabloids, and Warp teleported away in a huff. Calculator thanked Catwoman for her service, and scrubbed Holly's record as promised. He was sad to inform her that Catwoman Holly was currently battling the overpowered Hammer and Sickle in the East End.

(Catwoman III #67, 68) - Calculator warned Catwoman that Hammer and Sickle were using an auto-evolving genetech power that would make them far more dangerous than the last time she faced them. Catwoman was undeterred, and rushed to Holly's aid, preventing Hammer and Sickle from killing her using firearms to slow them down. GCPD SWAT swarmed the building, and when they saw Lenahan's head they blamed Catwoman and Holly, but before things could get out of hand GCPD had to deal with Hammer and Sickle. Catwoman told Holly to run away and not look back. Catwoman stole Blitzkrieg's power gloves, shocking Hammer, and causing him to fall out the window. Before she could catch her breath Sickle had her cornered. Her superhuman senses smelled Catwoman's baby, and Hammer, who'd recovered and fought off the GCPD, was off to Catwoman's loft to go after her daughter. Sickle taunted Catwoman about what might happen to her daughter, and vanished. Catwoman stole a police car, and raced home. Hammer had already abducted Helena, and placed Helena in the middle of the road, hoping Catwoman would run her over. Catwoman swerved, flipping the car, but escaped the wreckage, and escaped with Helena to a safehouse. Hammer and Sickle found her, and after knocking her out, dragged her back to her loft. They told her Helena would die first, and then they'd feel better about being humiliated by their past defeat at her hands. Catwoman grabbed a stashed taser and shocked Hammer, causing him to fall from her window with Helena. Catwoman rescued Helena, and Holly arrived, hitting Sickle with a firearm she'd stolen from the GCPD. Holly had already called an ambulance for Karon, who'd been knocked out by Hammer, and Catwoman told her to make herself scarce.

(Batman I #685) - Catwoman was vacationing in the Seychelles when she was approached by men who illegally sold exotic animals and purchased a clouded leopard from them. She bribed them to learn who supplied them their animals and traveled to Vietnam to confront them. She defeated the poacher’s leader sand in personal combat, taking over the group and promising to make them a worldwide power. Catwoman detested people who exploited animals and planned on freeing the exotic animals they’d collected, but needed a plan. She learned that Bruce Wayne had supposedly been spotted in Vietnam, but knew that was impossible since Wayne was M.I.A. since his confrontation with Dr. Hurt, and realized it was Hush. She ordered the poachers to kidnap hush, claiming they could collect a fortune by ransoming the wealthy Bruce Wayne. Hush was still livid that Catwoman was spending his money, and promised her that one day he would destroy her, but agreed to let her aides bring him to a riverboat to effect an escape so she could send all the poachers away from their camp in an attempt to recapture him. While the poachers were gone Sand tried to kill Catwoman, pointing a gun at her, but her clouded leopard mauled him, repaying Catwoman for saving him. Catwoman freed the exotic animals, baffled that people didn’t realize animals weren’t collectibles because they were rare and were only of value thriving in their natural environment. Catwoman’s aides revealed themselves as Nightwing and Robin, telling Hush he was coming with them back to Gotham. They couldn’t commit him to Arkham or send him to jail since he was now Bruce Wayne’s double, so they imprisoned him in a penthouse in Wayne Tower. Hush resolved to himself to act the part of the contrite prisoner until they let down their guard.

(Batman I #704) - Selina and Kitrina attended a ball at Gotham’s Diamond District, and Selina used the opportunity to pickpocket the socialites. Dick Grayson arrived at the ball, and tried to convince Selina that Kitrina would be better off without the madness of costumed adventuring. He’d had to save her life as Catgirl from the vigilante Reaper. He even offered to help her return to school, but Selina told him he should know that at some point children are too damaged to have a normal life. Selina told Kitrina to stay far away from Grayson.

(Batman I #706) - Catgirl had information about Batman’s quarry Sensei, but she refused to talk to him. Catwoman told her to answer his questions, and she’d send him packing.
