Catwoman will be drawn as anime for film production. Catwoman: Hunted is the first animated film focused on this character from the DC comics publisher and will hit theaters this February 2022. The exact date for this premiere has not yet been set.

Actress Elizabeth Gillies will lend her voice to Selina Kyle, in an animation that is closer to the Asian and anime-style than the animated movie style we are used to. This makes it one of DC’s most innovative bets.

In this feature film, some well-known characters such as Solomon Grundy, Black Mask, and Talia Al Ghul will be seen, while the actresses who will give voice to Catwoman and Batwoman will be Elizabeth Gillies and Stephanie Beatriz respectively. On the other hand, actress Lauren Cohan will be in charge of playing Julia Pennyworth.

Catwoman: Hunted is directed by anime master Shinsuke Terasawa, who is recognized for working on Dragon Ball Z: Broly, Gintama, and Yo-Kai Watch!, while Greg Weisman, who worked on Young Justice, is writing the script.

Catwoman is a paradoxical, mischievous, fascinating, and seductive character but, at the same time, she has the misfortune to inhabit the world of Batman, a superhero who defends Gotham City from crime. So to make the most of the DC Comics thief created in 1940, the screenwriter decided to invent a movie in which batman was just a shadow.

This film vindicates Catwoman by removing Batman from the main plot, turning her into a character who asks for help during the crossroads that are woven around her.
