It's about time that Catwoman got her own movie. I know what you're thinking, that's already happened. I'm sorry, I must have scrubbed that from my memory (for obvious reasons.) This time, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment tries their hand at giving the feline fatale the spotlight. Check out the first trailer for Catwoman: Hunted.
I'll be honest, this is a totally different vibe than I was expecting. The 70's era soundtrack and playful vibe was something of a surprise, but I dig it. The addition of Batwoman is a nice touch, and the characters seem to play well off one another. Plus, it's hard to take on all of those villains alone.
We don't really have a full synopsis for the animated film yet, but we do have a quick logline: "Catwoman’s attempt to steal a priceless jewel puts her squarely in the crosshairs of both a powerful consortium of villains and the ever-resourceful Interpol, not to mention Batwoman. It might just be enough to contain her. Or not."
Elizabeth Gillies (Dynasty, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, Vacation) leads as the voice of Catwoman with Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, In The Heights) as Batwoman. They are joined by Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) as Black Mask, Steve Blum (Cowboy Bebop, Star Wars Rebels) as Solomon Grundy, Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) as Julia Pennyworth, Keith David (They Live, The Thing, Gargoyles) as Tobias Whale, Zehra Fazal (Young Justice) as Talia al Ghul and Nosferata, Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: the Next Generation) as King Faraday and Boss Moxie, Kirby Howell-Baptiste (The Good Place, Barry) as Barbara Minerva/Cheetah, Kelly Hu (Arrow, X2: X-Men United) as Cheshire, Andrew Kishino (Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Mr. Yakuza and Domino 6, Eric Lopez (Madagascar: A Little Wild) as Domino 1, Jacqueline Obradors (Bosch, NYPD Blue) as La Dama, and Ron Yuan (Mortal Kombat 11) as Doctor Tzin. Shinsuke Terasawa (Gintama, Yo-kai Watch) directed the script written by Greg Weisman (Young Justice, Gargoyles). Ethan Spaulding (Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms) and Sam Register serve as producers.
There will be a couple of special features that will be available on the 4K, Blu-Ray and DigitalHD versions of the release:
- When The Hunter Becomes The Hunted (New Featurette) – When does the hunter become the hunted? In this case it’s when Selina Kyle steals the “Cat’s Eye” emerald and Batwoman informs her, “Congratulations, Selina, you just became Leviathan’s No. 1 target.” Those targeting Catwoman include wave after wave of assassins, ninjas, and Super-Villains – from Tobias Whale, Black Mask, Cheshire and Nosferata to Solomon Grundy, Talia al Ghul and Cheetah. In this all-new featurette, our experts break down the backstory of each integral villain.
