Essentially one long action scene, 'Catwoman (2011)' is a loose follow-up to 'Batman: Year One (2011)' entirely focused on its eponymous anti-hero as she faces off against a smuggling ring. The picture is fast-paced and exciting, featuring several well-animated fights and chases. It's enjoyable right from the start. The only element which feels somewhat forced is a protracted strip tease that sees the protagonist distract her foes before pulling out her signature whip. It isn't a bad sequence, but it's obviously only included for the sake of titillation and, as such, feels unnecessary (even if it does reveal something about the lead character's willingness to embrace her sexuality as a tool to tackle the patriarchy). Though it isn't all that deep, the flick is fun and well-conceived. It's actually fairly memorable, too. 7/10

Crack that whip.
Finally animated Catwoman short
I saw this the following day after Batman Year one and it is definitely better but....
Warning ahead: There is a scene where Roughcut and is punks go into a dodgy club and a hooker removes her bra. In other words, this is probably one which you can't show children.
Catwoman: The best DC Showcase I've seen
Warner Brothers deliver yet another DC Showcase, this time about Catwoman who is by far the most well known of the hero choices thus far.
It tells the short story of Catwoman in pursuit of Rough Cut who appears to be smuggling more than just diamonds this time.
Fluid, action packed and well paced this is everything a short should be.
I'm a fan of Dushku but I question how much she was paid for this 14 minute short considering she speaks about 3 lines total!
Good stuff.
The Good:
Very well animated
Eliza Dushku
The Bad:
Very little dialogue yet has an expensive voice cast
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Kevin Michael Richardson needs to learn some new voices
