Catwoman in other media an African-American Selina Kyle/Catwoman with a prominent role. In 2004, the feature film "Catwoman" was released. Starring Halle Berry, this film's Catwoman bears little resemblance to the comic book version. Berry portrays Patience Phillips, an artist and graphics designer who works for a cosmetics company called Hedare Beauty, which is ready to ship a new skin cream called Beau-Line that is able to reverse the effects of aging. However, as Patience visits the factory where it is being manufactured, she learns that the product has deadly side-effects. Laurel Hedare (Sharon Stone), the wife of the company's CEO, orders her killed.
Catwoman homage to Catwoman. Two 1990s prose novels feature Catwoman: "The Further Adventures of Batman: Volume 3, Featuring Catwoman", a short story collection by various authors, and "Catwoman: Tiger Hunt".

Catwoman also made a small cameo in "Kingdom Come", mostly accompanying the Riddler; she is predominantly seen, but not much heard in the series. She is not dressed in costume, but appears in the very dress she first wore in "Batman" #1 as The Cat. According to the novelization by Elliot S.
