Trivia[]
- It's never explained where she got the money to buy her Electric Brass Knuckles, the Catmobile, or the Black Jaguar. Though it can be assumed that she likely traded some of the jewels she'd stolen for them.
- Selina Kyle is a dark counterpart to Bruce Wayne himself.
- Like Bruce, she's a child of privilege who lost a parent to crime, and as a result has become a masked adventurer by night. But the crime was the parent's own financial misdeeds, losing him was just him getting sent to prison and her masked adventures are cat burglaries meant to finance her own pampered existence. She also has a single servant (a maid), that she is fairly dismissive of, mirroring the relationship between Bruce and Alfred at this point.
