Batman Arkham collections - Will there be a Catwoman

[riddler123]

Strictly speaking Catwoman was never an Arkham inmate was she.

However I long for a collection of some of her best stories like The Jungle Cat Queen and Never scratch a cat.
As such an edition has never been released I thought the Arkham collections would be the likely outlet.

Is a Catwoman collection ever likely.

Neither was Penguin and Ra's but they got one so the collection is more of a shorthand for Batman villains

Wait, Catwoman was put in Arkham in King's run

Anyway, the real question is if she's considered a villain or not

There's a Batman Allies Alfred Pennyworth sitting on the shelf next to me...

So would she be in the Arkham or Allies.

Next one's gotta be Gordon though.

Catwoman had three and a half books dedicated to her in a "Best Of" way - Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told Vol. 2 - which contains "Never Scratch A Cat", "Nine Lives Of A Feline Fatale", and "Life & Times Of A Feline Fatale", which contains "Jungle Cat Queen".

And didn't she had her "A Celebration Of 75 Years" also?

Life and times only has the one comic strip so hardly a collection. The greatest batman stories 2 is shared with penguin stories so not a complete catwoman volume.

I like the 75 years book though of the 18 stories only 9 of them feature Batman


Is this any good?

Out of interest does anyone know what the next Arlham volume will be?
I tried for find a site that listed them all but nada.

Catwoman shouldn't be in Arkham... She is not insane. She should be in Black Gate.

I wonder if they have stopped for good then in favour if the allies set.

The cat and the bat collection has Selina on the right side of the law mostly. I'd like to see a collection of her as a full on villain as per The Jungle Cat Queen and Catwoman sets her claws for Batman.

I recieved The bat and the cat collection today for my birthday. It has some good stories in but it is a thin volume and focuses mostly on catwoman as an allie.
For some reason it includes incomplete stories. Like the second half of one story (The cat who would be king) and a middle chapter from Hush. Pages that could have been spent on other stories.

It was interesting to see some of the later stuff as I gave up on Batman as an ongoing comic during the Batman RIP storyline. So some of the later Catwoman strips were new to me.

I've ordered the 75 years collection hoping for something better. I held off on this to begin with as 50% of the stories dont have Batman in.

We just got Black Mask in January and Victor Zsasz in February, so give DC a break for the rest of 2020.

There already are 14 issues in this series. How many more villains are there that really deserve their own entry in this series?

Sorry I asked!

More!

Honestly, I find Mister Zsasz unneeded, as he is always a C / B on a good day, villain, but I understand, BIRDS OF PREY, although he is still a C / B, on a good day.

But Joker's Daughter?

Basing on the factor that "Batman: Arkham" series, like Arkham Asylum itself, houses any colorful nut just because, anyone from A-Listers, to C-Listers:

Catwoman
Ventriloquist & Scarface
Mad Hatter
Bane (although most of his stories were multi-parters)
Professor Pyg
Firefly
Hush (although most of his stories were multi-parters)
Deadshot
Killer Moth
TweedleDee and TweedleDum

But really, the true answer on "How many villains deserve their entry in the series?":

Joker
Riddler
Two-Face
Scarecrow
Mad Hatter
Poison Ivy
Harley Quinn
Killer Croc
Clayface
Mister Freeze

All all-time Arkham regulars.

Catwoman, joker and Mad Hatter are probably the only ones left. Doesn't Bane have a collection?

I'm more interested in villains that have appeared over Batmans long history. Bane came from the 90s.
