Catwoman's nine lives: The Alameda (Calif.) Times Star traces the history of Catwoman, from her first appearance as "The Cat" in Batman #1 to her latest screen incarnation:

"Instead of Selina Kyle, Berry plays Patience Philips, a sensitive artist and graphic designer for a cosmetics company. An accident again transforms her into Catwoman, but this time she straddles the law and the lam. A cop (Benjamin Bratt) is torn between his tenderness for Patience and his fascination with Catwoman, not knowing they're the same person."
