Jane Webb
The Batman/Superman Hour (1968)
CBS
This series aired on CBS on Saturday mornings in the fall of 1968, just months after the 1966 live-action Batman was cancelled. This animated series, unlike its predecessor, was a no-nonsense action series.
The Catwoman in this series, Jane Webb, had entered movies around 1939-40, dropped out from entertaining, then resumed her career in 1966. Aside of one live appearance that year in Family Affair, Webb’s work consisted of voice-over work for this and other Filmation cartoons.

This is the cell drawing of the Catwoman in the 1968 series “The Batman/Superman Hour.” It represented a change from the Julie Newmar/Lee Meriwether/Eartha Kitt version seen on the live-action 1966 series that had been cancelled just months before this series aired. This version was the one that looked more like the comic book version of the time. |

Adrienne Barbeau
Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
Syndicated
Born in 1945, Adrienne Barbeau’s first major role was as the daughter of Bea Arthur in the CBS comedy Maude (1972-77). Barbeau’s rendition of the Feline Fatale showed a side of Selina Kyle not shown so much: Her role as an animal activist. Still, her character crossed the line and got into trouble.
The show was produced from 1992 to 1995, and featured the talents of Kevin Conroy and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. (The F.B.I.). |

Gina Gershon
The Batman (2004)
Airing 10:30 a.m. Saturday on The WB
Born in 1962, Gina Gershon has already had an established career as a movie actress (Pretty in Pink, Showgirls). Here is a description, provided by Comics Continuum: “Catwoman, a.k.a. Selina Kyle, is Gotham's greatest cat burglar. She gets her name not only because of her profession but also because of her cat-like qualities. Cunning, stealthy and mysterious, she is neither super hero nor arch villain. Unlike most of The Batman's foes, Catwoman is not out for mass destruction or domination of Gotham. She's in it for the money ... and the thrill of the hunt. She has even been known to do the occasional good deed—when it's in her best interest. Despite The Batman's efforts to capture her, Catwoman seems to enjoy her encounters with the Dark Knight, proving to be a flirtatious rival.” |
