The Best Catwoman

absolutely Julie Newmar. Eartha Kitt was over the top, which was what was called for in the Batman live-action series, but didn't really make the character sexy or real. If future installations I would love to see Claudia Black from Farscape and Stargate play the role. I also think she would have made a fantastic Aeon Flux.

I think Julie Newmar was the coolest Catwoman ever!I love those old episodes. Now my husband loves Halle Berry, but even he didn't buy her in the role of Catwoman.

Iloved the way Michell Pfeiffer looked and wish I could look taht good, even in my own head, just for a minute but Halle Berry was excellent too, the special effects in her Cat Woman film were amazing! Not sure about the others, sorry.

I just detested Eartha Kitt as Catwoman. I was a real Batman watcher when I was a kid. I was always soooo disapointed if it was not Julie Newmar. She is and always will be Catwoman to me. I always thought her and Batman had a bit of attraction for each other. Michelle Pfeiffer would be second and Halle Berry third. Sorry Eartha but you are not even in the running.

Earth Kitt by a mile, definitely the one and only Cat Woman.

The original, Eartha Kitt is irreplacable, but I thik Halley Barry did a great job. But, I do agree that when I think of catwoman, Eartha Kitt comes to my mind immediately.

I loved Eartha Kitt as Catwoman. She had a purrrrr that was so great. I vaguely remember Julie Newmar, I guess that it was because Eartha made such an impressive Catwoman that no other could do the same in my eyes.

I think the original catwoman is the one I recall most vividly and think about as "catwoman" first. But I have to say I think Halle Berry did a wonderful job as did all the others. Michelle Pfeiffer was probably my least favorite.

Hi there emeraldisle, I think about Michelle Pfeiffer when we are talking about cat woman. I like the way she said miauu.. and when she is falling at the cay litter (sand). Only that her costume is't follow. My cat woman is Michelle Pfeiffer. Happy posting !! OoXx~dian

Eartha Kitt, the part was written for her, did you know? However, politics had to rear its awful head and she was let go. How stupid!

i was able to catch adam west play batman on tv but the memory of catwoman or whoever was the actress appearing there is vague already. i'm more familiar with michelle pfeiffer and halle berry playing the part. as between the 2, i vote for michelle over halle. i fell asleep in the movie with halle berry playing the part. her face showed from fret than a look that would excite a batman, which, on the other hand, michelle has. halle berry wasn't also convincing in doing martial arts. or maybe the direction and production was also not that well, as compared to how they made michelle look sleek and sexy, yet with a stare that's innocent, in the daytime, but can also be flirtatious and with an "i'm a biatch" message when with the cat suit on. in batman 1 with michael keaton, the image of michelle in the catwoman outfit is even an attraction equal to the excitement of seeing batman on film. i don't think the guys will ever forget the scene where she did cartwheels til she landed before penguin and batman and after saying "meow" there was an explosiong behind her..and of course, the lips and catty eyes..just perfect, for me, as catwoman..

i'd say michelle pfeiffer! she looked great, acted REALLY great (with the craziness et al) & even has those catty looks. so for me it's gotta be michelle hands down.

Michelle Pfeiffer... She was gorgeous, had this eery yet wonderfully seductive cat-like look to her... I thought she pulled it off very well and she looked beautiful in the black catsuit. I was.... ugh I couldn't stand Halle Barry as Catwoman... and the movie was awful to me. I was happy to find out however that the Halle Barry Catwoman movie was not associated with DC Comics in anyway but the name... it was just a story about a woman who turned into a Catwoman... eh I just don't believe she pulled it off very well at all. So for me it was Michelle Pfeiffer... maybe b/c I saw that movie when I was in 2nd grade and I grew up with her as Catwoman... to me it was her and no one else.

Although I am a big Michelle Pfeiffer fan, the answer without a shodow of a doubt is Julie Newmar. The camera does not lie and even 40 years later you can see that Julie had the most incredible figure, which Michelle and Halle Berry cannot match.

Actually my Catwoman is Michelle Pfeiffer. There is no arguing that she made an extraordinary performance in that movie, saving it from failure.
