For the first time in eight decades, Catwoman is getting her own animated movie. Early next year, Warner Bros. Animation will release Catwoman: Hunted, a new adventure written by Greg Weisman. Some of Weisman’s previous credits include Spectacular Spider-Man and Star Wars: Rebels. He also created Disney’s Gargoyles and co-created the Young Justice animated series.
Via The Hollywood Reporter, Catwoman: Hunted will be animated in an anime style. The story finds Selina Kyle making some new enemies in “a powerful consortium of villains” when she tries to steal “a priceless jewel.”
However, the criminals won’t be the only ones chasing down Selina. In addition to Interpol agents, Batwoman is also looking to bring Catwoman to justice.
