Render looks awesome. I also don't think this Catwoman is Halle; this game is focusing on the DC Comics Universe...the game is not going to utilize obscure movies (especially a movie that was widely panned...whether someone likes the movie, or not) for the game. IMO.

Im curious to know what’s your favorite costume for her, even though you seem 98% pleased with this one.

Pretty much this!
The minor tweaks I mentioned are more in keeping with the costume as it is in the comics, which would be that last percentage for perfection. Not that things like the zip being that far down bother me that much.

I personally think she should had gotten some claw like fingers (long nail-like), and most definitely a black colored costume, though the purple suits her very well so that’s of no real importance. It looks great! And the goggles, well, they DO suit her, but I cant stop thinking of a pilot or of a swimming pool when I see her. Im still not too fond of them, but hopefully her alt has her face revealed and a cool black outfit.

Black would definitely be a big improvement, or at the very least, something that reduces the purple to very dark reflective highlights.
I think the goggles are just a really charming addition. To me, the real success of Catwoman as she is today is the pseudo-realism of the character. She's really been brought up to match some of the utilitarian qualities of Batman and the hyper-realism of Gotham City.

The charm of the goggles was the allusion to the playful aspects of the Selina Kyle character, and a connection to less focused periods. It was the barely noticable compromise, and, of course, it comes with utilitarian benefits like hi-tech google-vision and other hoohah that gets tacked on (at the whim of need).

Losing the claws as a design feature was a part of maturing the character to that street level hyper-realism, I think. There's no reason to think they aren't there, maybe pneumatically retractable, and certainly for the game I'd be happy to see some sort of slashing move. I just don't think we need to go backward to start adorning costumes with flash over substance, which the claws represent, to some extent.

And I also saw that crying Catwoman pic you posted in the closed thread, please tell me, from what comic is that and why is she like that?

It's the cover to Catwoman #51.
It an unfortunate example of a cover being fairly detached from the contents. It's a post-Identity Crisis issue that explores Catwoman's discovery that she had her mind tampered with by the Justice League, which influenced her role as an 'anti-hero.'

She doesn't literally go to jail, but it's probably safe to say she's upset.
As mentioned in the thread; the cover artist, Adam Hughes, has a reputation for "cheesecake," which is a fairly regular discussion point for his long runing series of Catwoman covers.
In recent times some have even been altered by the time of printing.

For any who were disappointed by the previous discussion being cut short, you might like to do some research on the topic of "Women in Refrigerators." It will almost certainly be an interesting experience and lead to a lot of other content (ie; When Fangirls Attack).

Ah! I really can't believe that she made the game!

I just shit myself!

This is really exciting for me. Sonya and Catwoman are in the game. That's my two favorite characters right now.

I swear if Mileena is in, I will have multiple orgams. MULTIPLE.

She looks fantastic. The render is really, really nice. I love all of the detailing. The only thing I really have a problem with is her eyes. You can see them through the goggles and they just don't look very realistic to me. Maybe it's just me, but eyes are always a biggie for me.

I figured that if she WOULD make the game, she would look like this. This is the more popular costume for her as I've seen it all over the place. All of the new figures and comics feature this look. I really love her outfit - not too keen on the goggles (I hate the word, really), but they do suit her.

I really love the black version that was made on here. I don't know why, but I like it a whole lot better.

AH!

So exciting. I can't believe that she made it. Now if Joker is in, that's 3 characters alone from Batman. And if the whole Robin rumor is right , that's 4 characters from Batman alone. That doesn't leave much room for other characters. Hopefully the roster has expanded some.

Great job on the render, Midway. She looks fantastic. Now I'm curious to see the alt.

Now that I can finally see her in full, I'm not disappointed. Then again, they could have put Catwoman in a thong with nipple covers and I would have been just as happy. They only thing I'm not feeling is the glasses/goggles.

I hate to say it, but I'm actually more excited about the DC renders than the MK ones. If the rumors are true about the remaining line-up, then what is there to be excited about? Jax? Raiden? Kitana and Kabal might be alright, but they're post-MK1. The rest of the rumored characters I stopped caring about five years ago. I guess I can hope for Reptile.

MK1 line-up will always be the blandest part of MK.

Despite yesterdays ordeal in the other Catwoman thread I want to say that I'm still excited to see her become a part of this game. If she'd zip it up a bit I would like the costume a lot more. I don't mind a bit of cleavage. I'm interested to see how she's going to play and what her special attacks will be. I'm also hoping for a Pfeiffer-esque alt costume even though it's a bit outdated.

She's absolutely delicious. I'm warming up to this game after seeing how smexy batman looks in-game (the screens w/ scorpion, not that awful teaser trailer) and now that catwoman is here too.

This is by far the best render released so far in terms of quality

Yep, Catwoman is definitely a hot little number, and also the first MILF in the MK vs. DC roster. Hurray for breaking new ground.

I think her neck looks a tad elongated, but that could be the perspective. I prefer her early 90's costume, but this works just fine. Perhaps we could get a Michelle Pfeiffer variant as well. That'd be cool.

I NEED to point this out:


Has anyone else noticed how HORRIBLY photoshoped the Catwoman render is? Look at her hand, fingers and boot!!!!

Maybe all this is because it was a leaked unfinished picture or something, and since she wasnt supposed to be revealed yet, the artist didnt add the last details or placed her well in the roof....I really hope so.

I mean, she has NO fingers and the boots look slightly out of place, as if it was pasted in that backround without being careful........

Hopefully its just because its not finished, because overall, this is an excellent render and probably one of my faves....but those details are very wrong.

I hope this is because it was unfinished when leaked....

I don't see why it's such a big deal, it's not like she'll be missing fingers in the game itself.

Hopefully.

Actually, its not really a "Oh My God the world is going to end" kind of deal...but if its indeed final, Im guessing we can agree that it is a big deal in a way, because it speaks about the quality of the game as a whole.

Renders are supposed to be brilliant, and that kind of mistakes are not even imaginable with a professional team thats supposed to do those bits right.

We are not going to die because of it.....but we arent going to be happy about quality either. I hope thsi explains.

yeah you posted it on a couple threads so I thought you might be having a breakdown lol tongue

anyways, just wait until we see an official render or perhaps the full game. I'm sure that the MK team aren't lazy to the point where they wont finish a hand. If they are then at least we know not to spend the money.

I think we should be focused on the game, not the render. Believe it or not, renders has NOTHING to do with the quality of the game. Look at how good the MKD's renders were, but did the game look like that? NO. And no offense, but who really freaking cares and who freaking would notice that SMALL flaw.

Due to Midway's request for the sites' that obtained this image to remove it, we are going to treat it as a scan and not allow it to be posted on the site in respects to Midway. Though it isn't a "scan" per se, it is copyrighted material and therefore under our FAQ it is treated the same as any magazine scan would be. Until Midway officially releases the Catwoman render, please do not repost it, edits or make yourself signatures/avatars with it. Please understand our position on this matter. Those of you who have it will be shadowed, but you can get it removed with no punishment to you by PMing one of our moderators.

However, I do not see how we can feasibly prevent discussion of the render. Since you have all have seen it or can see it through a various number of means, you may continue to discuss the render through this thread.
