Catwoman figure, Catwoman has been featured in many media adaptations related to Batman. Actresses Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, and Eartha Kitt introduced her to a large audience on the 1960s "Batman" television series and the 1966 "Batman" film. Michelle Pfeiffer portrayed the character in 1992's "Batman Returns". Halle Berry starred in a stand-alone Catwoman film, 2004's "Catwoman", which was a critical and commercial flop, and bears little to no similarities to the Batman character. Anne Hathaway portrayed Selina Kyle in the 2012 film "The Dark Knight Rises" and a young version of Kyle is played by Camren Bicondova on the 2014
Catwoman television series "Gotham". Catwoman was ranked 11th on IGN's "Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time" list, and 51st on "Wizard" magazine's "100 Greatest Villains of All Time" list. Conversely, she was ranked 20th on IGN's "Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time" list.
