Hello there fellow earthlings! Do you know what day it is today? It's Saturday Lady Day! Awyeah! ... ehem. Anyway...
Today's Geeky Alien of the Week is Catwoman a.k.a. Selina Kyle!
Awyeah! So sexy! Forgive me, I'm too attracted to her right now to actually write something coherent about her but I will do the best I can to give you a properly readable post.
We all know how famous Catwoman is. She is one of Batman's most cunning (and most tempting) enemies, moving through the night as sleek and stealthy as her feline counterparts.
There is a lot of speculation as to Catwoman's history and background as there have been several stories stating the origin of her character so I will not go as in-depth as I want to (because, really, who wants to read about me spazzing about how cool and awesome she is?). dr-von-girl.livejournal.com, though, has written an astounding comic-based documentation of her history, if you guys are interested.
Catwoman is mainly a... cat burglar, if we can call her that. She is highly attracted to high-stake thefts, going for publicized and important artifacts or jewels, whatever catches her eye. She dons different costumes during different story timelines but she is commonly seen wielding a whip, sharp cat-claw gloves and cat ears.
What I like the most about Catwoman is how she is dubbed an "antihero" rather than a supervillain. In the current comic series, "Gotham City Sirens," she teams up with fellow villainesses Harlequinn and Poison Ivy. Her relationship with Batman is also very intriguing (which makes the next Dark Knight movie something to watch out for!).

So, really, who CANNOT love Catwoman? Even if people consider her a sex symbol in the Batman universe, one cannot doubt that she is truly all woman - sexy, sultry, downright evil when she needs to be, and not afraid to get what she wants.
Til next Saturday, live long and prosper!
