| batman: I'd rather not have anything to do with you, Catwoman. I abhor your attitude and behavior. You're amoral, dishonest, dangerous and pathetic... catwoman: My, and they say romance is dead. -Catwoman Defiant |
| catwoman: Because let's face it, our relationship is always going to be prickly. After all, I'm a cat. And you're a rodent. -Catwoman Defiant |
| catwoman: The TV called me your partner. batman: Don't fantasize. We're on opposite sides. c: of the same coin? - Catwoman #4 (1989) |
| batman: So it's to be a war between us. catwoman: It's always been a war between the sexes. b: and who will draw first blood? c: me? -Catwoman 4 |
| catwoman: You're just another cop, aren't you--smarter, cooler, more seductive--but a cop just the same...and I don't do cops. First round to me, lover. - Catwoman 4 |
 |
| batman: But this way the evidence is clear. catwoman: you filthy...rotten-- b: crime-stopper--at your service. c: You do realize we could have struck different sparks? b: Yes...but then I'd be just like you. Part of the night...rather than its scourge. -Catwoman 38 |
| batman: She's not a killer, but she is a thief--a criminal--part of what I've sworn to stop. But even as I was taking her down...I felt myself...attracted to her. -Catwoman 38 |
| catwoman: I'd love to stick around and tango, darling--but it's business before pleasure tonight! -Catwoman Volume 1 #26 (1993) |
| catwoman: Since we can't stop obsessing about each other--why don't we do something about it? batman: I plan to. c: No need to sound so rough--not when I'm proposing something short of violence. b: Never. c: Feeling the same heat I am? b: I...it doesn't matter. You're a thief. c: Nobody's perfect--and all couples overlook certain flaws. b: We're not a couple. -Catwoman 40 |
| catwoman: We're the same. batman: you're a criminal--we're opposites. c: And opposites attract--even similar opposites. b: Don't even try to tempt me. c: I already have tempted you--so why deny it? -Catwoman 40 |
| batman: Don't start. This is my city. catwoman: Then I'll just have to steal from you. b: I'm serious. Live here, that's fine but if you steal in Gotham I'm going to put you down. c: Good. Come and chase me, Batman. b: Count on it.. -Catwoman 75 |
| catwoman: This is about me trying to deal with some issues I thought I could ignore--like this thing between you and me. batman: Selina. c: You can't deny that there's always been something between us. Don't you think it's time we did something about it? b: We've had this conversation before. c: No, we haven't. We fight and chase each other across rooftops--but we never talk about the real reason we keep doing this dance over and over again. Maybe it's time we did. Without the costumes. b: You know that can never happen. c: I don't expect you to give up your vigilante lifestyle, any more than you can expect me to give up my criminal one--but we owe it to ourselves to find out who we are away from this city. I'm leaving for Sao Paulo tomorrow night. Come with me. I'm not asking for forever. Just for a little while. -Catwoman 94 |
| selina: Oh, do you have to go? I was hoping you could meet my sister... bruce: I'm afraid I do. It's an amazing thing you've done here, Selina...I mean it. I'm very impressed. -Catwoman 13 |
| batman: Wait, Selina...we both know this doesn't work. catwoman: Yeah, so? Wouldn't it be okay to pretend a little while that it does? I mean, is it so wrong to just want some warmth and human contact every once in a while? Never mind...I forgot who I was talking to for a second. -Catwoman 27 |
| catwoman: It's the second garage on the right. You are after the Idiot Clown Posse, right? batman: Yes, what are you doing here? c: Hey, this is my neighborhood, remember? b: Well, any idea what they're doing here, then? c: No. Let's find out, shall we? - Batman 604 |
| catwoman: I just don't understand you sometimes... You stand there and take point blank shots for one of the big scuzzballs in Gotham... I mean, I could understand if he was a decent human being, or a friend... I'd jump in front of a bullet for a friend... batman: That's not what it's about... c: What is it about then, boy scout? b: It's complicated. c: I thought you were the big protector of the innocent-- what's complicated about that? b: Everything. Life complicates everything. c: So y'know, you never did tell me what you were doing in the East End tonight in the first place... b: That's sort of compicated, too. c: Uh hunh... Look, if you wanted to see me, you don't need to make up excuses... b: Okay, you caught me... c: Somehow, I don't think so... It's been fun, boy scout... Let's do this again sometime... -Batman 604 |
| bruce: The mayor's got a ball coming up and you and I always did cut quite a rug... selina: Oh, stop...you never change, do you, Bruce Wayne? b: Not when it comes to you, Selina Kyle... s: Oh, please...the minute anything gets beyond flirting, you head for the Alps and you know it... - Catwoman 10 |
| batman: I thought you were done with all this? catwoman: Oh, c'mon...isn't this way better? Haven't you missed the game? b: No, I haven't...Look, you've been through hell these past few months, I know...but you can't let it defeat you, Selina. Don't just fall back into bad habits...you're better than this. c: You're always so sure of that. But, you don't know...You don't know what I've done. I let everyone get hurt. And then I just hurt them some more on my own... b: I know all about hurting the people you care about, and I know all about the pain of surviving...and I know Selina Kyle, too. And I miss her. Don't you? c: Yeah...I do. C'mon, let's get out of here. -Catwoman 19 |
| batman: Selina...Leslie told me you were back, but I wanted--I needed--to see it with my own eyes. catwoman: I'm sorry, Bruce, I should've called myself, but... b: I never stopped looking for you. c: What? You looked for me? b: Everywhere. Tore half of Gotham apart... c: Sorry you went through all that for nothing. b: It wasn't for nothing. Look, I'm not good at this kind of thing, Selina, but--I'm just, I'm really glad you're not dead. c: That's, uh...that's sweet, actually. Coming from you, I mean. -Catwoman 32 |
| batman: I have a need of a thief. There are some computer discs that contain vital data for restoring Gotham. catwoman: Why not get them yourself? b: They're in Manhattan... c: And why would I do anything that you want me to do? b: I need you...I can't do it by myself, Catwoman. I tried. I need others. For this--I need you. You're the only one I think can pull this off. The only one I can trust. -Catwoman 72 |
| selina: I honestly had a wondeful night, Bruce. I can't remeber the last time I saw you laugh like that... bruce: I don't have much time for fun, it's true. I never have. But you always remind me it's possible, Selina...you--God, I really am pathetic at this aren't I? s: Bruce? Are you okay? There are tears in your eyes... b: You're just so beautiful...so alive. And I thought I'd lost you. -Catwoman 32 |
| catwoman: Is this the park? Is this an hour ago? Huh. Nope. Looks like it's my roof, and you're late. batman: I've got a meeting in the morning. Early. I'll sleep here, if that's alright. c: You know, you don't really need to keep making these excuses to stay. b: It's not like there are many people left I can turn to these days. c: I certainly hope you think more of me than that. Never mind. Make coffee, not excuses. -Catwoman 39 |
| catwoman: Listen...I...you saved my life. Through the years, you've done that more than once. I don't think I've ever properly thanked you. batman: Don't. c: We've done this dance for a long time. Too long. Aren't you at all curious?. -Batman 610 |
| batman: Don't go. catwoman: Just because I let you kiss me--doesn't mean you get to treat me like your toy wonder. b: Take this. c: It's not your high school ring or anything, is it? b: Metropolis is a big city. If you find Poison Ivy first, activate that by pressing it. c: So, I call, you come? You can't train a cat to do that. -Batman 612 |
| batman: I know who you are, Selina. Where you live. What you do during the day. Like you, I have two lives. I want you to be part of both of them. catwoman: You know, for a loner, you certainly have yourself a lot of strings. Nightwing. Robin. Oracle. Huntress. Batgirl. I just don't want to be the one string that trips you up. b: You won't. (Batman removes his cowl) c: BRUCE. b: So...where do we go from here? c: You could find a razor. And a bath wouldn't kill you. -Batman 615 |
| batman: In chosing to reveal myself as Bruce Wayne, I have decided to trust her. What I should have expected, but am still...appreciating...is that she trusts me. I cannot--will not--fail her trust. -Batman 616 |
| catwoman: Listen, I don't know if this started out as a spell. Forget about being a detective for once. We are who we are. That's why this works. Maybe, someday, you'll come to trust that. Until then... -Batman 619 |
| catwoman: Know what else is fun? batman: Catching criminals. c: That's what I was doing. You should be thinking of ways to thank me. I can make some suggestive suggestions... b: Hand over the diamonds you stole from Firefly. Then maybe I'll thank you. c: Oh, Batman. Does this mean we're enga--? -JLA 115 |
| batman: Zatanna used her powers to erase parts of my memory the League found...inconvinient. Making it difficult for me to trust anyone. Including myself. And if I can't trust my own thoughts... catwoman: You can never trust your own thoughts. Your feelings on the other hand... -JLA 118 |
| catwoman: Don't you understand--? This is why I left you. You'll never accept me for who I really am...only as the socialite, rich girl you want me to be...Bruce... -Catwoman: When in Rome |
| catwoman: What am I to you? An Ally? Competition? A criminal? Some stupid damsel in distress! I know there's something about me you want. I can tell. You go all rigid when I'm around. Let's do it. Right now. Take off the masks. No secrets. batman: What is you relationship with the Falcone Crime organization? c: Happy Valentine's Day. Your loss... -Dark Victory 5 |
| selina: Bruce. Why do you stay in Gotham? bruce: After...my parents' death, I left. But, I was...drawn back.

| catwoman: I know places, Batman. Things only I could show you. batman: The Roman orchestrated all of this. Do you want to help? c: Thats' not what I had in mind. Your loss. b: No. The price of independence. -TLH 10 |
| batman: She's beautiful. selina: I'm surprised you didn't stop by earlier. We have a lot to talk about. b: Yes we do, but not tonight. Don't let the costume fool you--this is a social call. I thought my sneaking in the window would be less noticeable than Bruce Wayne strolling in the front door...I did bring presents... s: Thanks, Bruce. This means a lot. -Catwoman 53 |
| catwoman: A wierd one, all right, but who am I to talk? Hell, we'd make the perfect pair...two of the dark ones, drawing down the Gotham moon...with our howls. -Batman Legends of the Dark Knight 138 |
| catwoman: Nah-ah--not so grabby, big man...you'll get a lot closer with slow hands...well my blood's running high and hot. How 'bout you? Having fun yet? batman: No. c: Good--because there's better fun than fight...give it up, big man. Just admit it. You like what you see. You want me... b: It's Gordon who wants your tail--and it's his... c: Until that last misstep, pretty sexy moves for something so big. But much as I'd love to stay and dance all night...think I'll flip you off instead. Ciao-- and mee-yow. -BLotDK 139 |

| catwoman: Without him I could not have become who I am. And I owe him so much...But we've been at odds from the start... Because my world is all shades of grey, Batman. That's why you'll never really understand me. It's about good people being forced into bad situations. That's my territory...In between right and wrong. Which is a place you can never go. And we both know it. - Catwoman Volume 2 #1 (2002) |
| catwoman: Why did you help me? Why after everything that I've done, did you still have faith in me? batman: I just do, Selina...No matter what, I believe that deep down, you're really a good person. -Catwoman 1 |
| batman: Can't think...just hate myself...because she was right. She's a criminal...and I...I'm a crimefighter...yet I...I do want her...and I want her...more than life. -BLotDK 140 |
| batman: Selina...what's going on? catwoman: Honestly? I don't know. It felt like the thing to do. You know what I mean? b: Honestly? No. c: I think you do. We've known each other for a long time. We've been through a lot together. And in all those years, do you ever feel closer to me than at times like this? After the chase? After the fight? b: Selina, I... c: Don't worry, I'm not looking for love. I'm just saying that what I do--what we do--there's a real rush you know? -Catwoman 82 |
| catwoman: A mall? Surely you know I have better taste than that? batman: Then how do you explain being at the scene of the crime? c: How do you know I wasn't following you? (Batman pins Catwoman down on the rooftop) b: Robin...go...round up some evidence. -The Batman Chronicles 9 |
| bruce: Selina... I don't know how to begin to atone for what Elliot did to you. I never wanted you to come to any harm, least of all through me. Hush said that when I saw your heart die, part of mine would die , too. He was right, in a way. There has been only one woman who has really held my heart. I locked that part of myself away after my parents died. It was too hurt to risk exposing again. And yet, despite my best efforts, you broke in. You were the first to touch my heart and remind me I still had one. I don't know if we could ever have more than we've already had. I don't know, especially after this, if you'd want anymore from me. Tonight I'm ony sure of one thing. Whatever the future holds, wherever life takes me... ...I will love you. Always. selina: I'm awake. b: How long? s: Since "Selina..." They kiss. -Detective Comics 850 |
