Black Cat & Catwoman | Cat Burglars

In two different worlds—separated by tone, tragedy, and the kind of heroes who chase them—two women learned early that survival meant becoming something sharper than the world that tried to break them.

Selina Kyle — The Cat of Gotham

In the shadows of Gotham City, survival was never guaranteed—only earned.

Selina Kyle was not born into crime. She was born into neglect. Her earliest memories were not of warmth, but of cold hallways, broken promises, and the suffocating feeling of being invisible.
