Throughout DC comics and live-action adaptations of The Batman, Selina Kyle has always appeared as Catwoman. The latest appearance of this character came from The Batman released in 2022. In the latest adaptation, Zoë Kravitz took up the role of Selina Kyle and was very much appreciated by the fandom. In the comic books, Selina Kyle is just like many other vigilantes in Gotham and does not have any superpowers whatsoever. However, Selina did not start as a vigilante, initially, she was a thief who would steal mostly for the thrill of it.

Later on, she started seeing Batman and turned into a member of the Bat family. In some stories, like the ones based on Earth 2, Selina even married Bruce Wayne and had a daughter named Helena Wayne. The most recent adaptation of Helena was seen in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One where she was voiced by Erika Ishii.

Will Selina Kyle Appear in The Batman Part 2?

By the end of The Batman, released in 2022, Selina Kyle left Gotham and traveled up north to Blüdhaven. This city must be well-known to fans who are familiar with the Batman lore since this is the place where Nightwing mostly operates. However, the big question now is, if Selina will return in The Batman Part 2 or not. Initially, there were no hints towards her return but with the ending of The Penguin, we can speculate her return to Gotham.

By the end of The Penguin, we see that when Sofia is locked up in her cell at Arkham, she receives a letter from Selina who claims to be her half-sister since she is also the daughter of Carmine Falcone according to the story we see in The Batman. Sofia receiving this letter could be a hint towards Selina Kyle’s return as Catwoman in The Batman Part 2. So, let’s wait and see where this goes, and till then, stay tuned!
