Cat/Bat - Superdictionary Style!
I have this thing where I sometimes read the Superdictionary as if it had a plot. This is the story of Catwoman and how she interacts with the Bats. (I must note that I am omitting a bunch of other Catwoman entries, but perhaps that's another story for another time.)

Catwoman tries to make friends with Batgirl and Robin, but this doesn't exactly go according to plan...

Gosh, Babs, do you always micromanage this much when you're inexplicably flying?

Now, now, Dick. If you're going to start creating elaborate traps for people, I expect you to grow an evil moustache so that you can twirl it, evilly. But not all those who wander are lost! Trufax.

Clearly Catwoman has more important things to worry about than flying Batgirls and Robindickery.

But at least she has her cats! Her ferocious, hungry cats.

Now, how are she and Batman getting along?

D: Not so great, actually.

Throwing things at Batman is a bit of a trend, it would seem.

Batman, she really doesn't want to go with you! I guess the milk bottle and the plates being thrown at you didn't give you the hint. (I actually find this entry somewhat disturbing.) But really, who could blame her...

...when Batman does frustratingly bizarre and inexplicable things such as this? Perhaps this is just his way of letting her know he's upset that she broke all of the plates. "If tables are for eating on, then where are the plates, Selina? Where are the plates?!" Not always the best communicator, that Batman.

(My apologies for the crooked scans.)

	hee! gave me a good laugh. was batman only pulling her cape or what. btw, i think this is the 2nd worst catwoman costume because of that creepy mask with the cateyes. #1 would be when she actually put on a cat head. LOL (Reply to this)

	I must admit, I really like her flapper hair here. The "refuse" entry is creepy as hell, though.... (Reply to this)

	Ahahaa, Batman is just standing on the table. Why is that so funny? It just is! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think it's partly Catwoman's "OH MY GOD, WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT! TABLES ARE FOR EATING ON! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! IT'S A MADHOUSE! A MAAADHOOUUUUSE!" reaction that makes it so hilarious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which coming from someone who identifies with cats of all creatures is just wrong (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My favorite is her clarification: What are you doing on that flat surface held up by four legs? Superdictionary doesn't often work the definitions in there so clearly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Catwoman: "I refuse to come with you." Batman: "I am afraid you must, for by throwing all that stuff at me you've created a lot of refuse." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Love 'rainfall'. I think the fish really makes it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	parsimonia 2009-05-29 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	I know! And it works for her, because cats like fish, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Honestly, SuperDictionary, out of all the many varieties of Catwoman available for you to use, why'd you have to pick the one that dresses like a pirate vampire dominatrix? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Any other version wouldn't be insane enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-05-30 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, come on. Not even the one where she wears a realistic cat's head mask, or the one where she's basically dressed from head to toe in green chainmail, or any number of other, equally bizarre costumes? When it comes to long-lasting, classic characters, Catwoman's been through more costumes than just about any of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aaron_bourque 2009-05-30 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	The only thing remotely cat-like about this is the tail. It would be like if she wore the catmask and called herself Lady Pirate. Or dressed in chainmail and . . . well, actually, just chainmail. Nothing but chainmail. Bet that would chafe like a bitch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-05-30 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	If you ask me, the chainmail one is actually weirder. because at least this one does HAVE the tail as a nod to her catlike nature - the chainmail one has NOTHING to do with cats. Nothing at all. It's not even in a catlike color. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I died laughing at "where are the plates, selina?" Though I do wonder, given the plates and the milk, if he's standing on the table because it's the only thing left in the house and he's making sure she can't throw it at him... (Reply to this)
