Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Batman encounters a new cat burglar calling herself Catwoman, and around the same time, meets a woman named Selina Kyle (as Bruce Wayne), to whom he is visibly attracted. When Selina runs into trouble with a terrorist group known as The Red Claw, who want the mountain lion sanctuary she was trying to protect, she decides to take matters into her own hands and investigate.
Our Take
A decent kickoff that spends more time on romance and terrorism plots than on Batman actually doing detective work. The chemistry between Bruce and Selina carries the first half nicely, but Red Claw is a flat villain and the action beats feel generic. Worth a watch for the Catwoman dynamic alone, just don’t expect a strong start.
