Biography
Catwoman is often depicted n graphic novels as an antiheroine with an arsenal of exceptional combat skills, ranging from martial arts to basic hand-in-hand combat. When Catwoman peculates, she does not harm pedestrians nor bystanders, although she will defend herself when either the victim of thievery, or Batman, catches her.
Her reasons for committing amoral acts of stealing can vary. Catwoman is an orphan; therefore it was very difficult for her to survive in a hostile community such as Gotham City. Even when she was a young girl, there was evidence that she was a kleptomaniac. The only way to thrive in an environment such as this would be for her to resort to thievery and the latter. However, she was convinced to do it in style. Later on, Wildcat, another former antihero within the Batman franchise, would train her in combat.
Catwoman and Batman are famous for their flirtatious conversations, sometimes even turning legitimately romantic (Hush, 2002-2003). Even when Catwoman is on the chase, she and Batman share a unique 'cat-and-mouse' style of chemistry. Batman himself is fully aware of Catwoman's interest in him, and he also acknowledges his own affectionate feelings towards her. However, his loyalty to the law prevents a romantic relationship between them to prevail.
Catwoman is not the only love interest Batman has. He has also shown interest in Talia Al Ghul, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, and more. In recent years, Zatanna has also shown interest in Batman as well.

Love Rivals
Talia Al Ghul
Talia has always shown some hostility towards Selina, believing that the world's greatest detective deserves better than some common thief. After Bruce was presumed dead, the two were able to put aside their differences for awhile in order to combat Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, but both women soon went back to being enemies. Sometime after her father died, Talia became a full-fledged villain while Selina was welcomed into the Bat-Family.

When he declares war on Batman's allies, he also targets Catwoman, stating that their romance has made Batman soft, while the Joker's consistent villainy keeps him on his toes. In one future, Selina is the one who finally kills The Joker shortly after her husband Bruce's death
