DC/Warner Bros. Catwoman: Hunted

One of my favorite comic book femme fatales and good girl/bad girl is Catwoman.

Cat burglar supreme, fierce fighter and Batman’s lover, Catwoman has been playing cat and mouse with Bruce Wayne/Batman’s emotions ever since she was introduced way back in the Golden Age of comic books.

Batman and the rest of the DC Comics heroes and villains never quite know where they stand with Catwoman/Selina Kyle.

In Warner Bros. latest DC Animated Movie: Catwoman: Hunted, on 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/Digital Code, Catwoman stars in her own adventure.

Never one to shy away from bagging a priceless object Catwoman sets her feline feminine eyes on the world’s most expensive Emerald.

Things seem to go smoothly until she discovers that the gem is the property of a worldwide criminal organization headed by Cheetah.

A gangster costume party is being held in Spain and Selina manages to gain access dressed in her classic Catwoman outfit. While Black Mask is in conference to join the worldwide crime cartel, Catwoman breaks into the vault and steals the emerald.

She almost gets away scot-free until a bat throwing-star sets off the alarm.

She flees with the criminals hot on her heels.  A thrilling car chase ensues and she almost escapes until she is stopped by Batwoman.

It seems Interpol wants to offer her deal.  If she agrees to become the crime syndicate’s target, Interpol and Batwoman will capture and incarcerate the crime syndicate heads and she will have her criminal record wiped clean.  She agrees.

In way over her head, Catwoman needs all of her nine lives to survive against some of the baddest of the bad of the DC Universe.

Things get out of hand when Catwoman surveys the cartel meeting only to be met by a ninja assassin, a bat creature and after crashing into the skylight with Batwoman other surprises awaits the duo.

Suddenly they must fight demons, elementals, high-tech battle suits, a ninja, a strongman and henchmen.

Somehow they persevere and the cartel members are arrested-all except Cheetah.

Later the duo are attacked by an army of assassins, Solomon Grundy and eventually Catwoman must face off against the transformed Cheetah.

Looks for lots of action, fisticuffs and foul play, twists and turns, blood and guts and off the wall humor.

I had a lot of fun watching this movie.  The characters were well defined, the fights nicely choreographed and illustrated and the visual effects added an extra punch.  

Throw in the jazzy soundtrack and the new Anime inspired animation and this movie really delivers.

It’s fast, it’s fun, it ferocious and it’s everyone’s female feline favorite is at her best.  Even Batman would be impressed.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
