Catwoman kicked off the Gotham War, training former henchmen of Batman's rogue gallery to be high-end independent cat burglars, depriving Gotham's villains of their troops, and taking robbers and muggers off the streets, reducing violent crime in Gotham by 75%, but betraying Batman's principles But has she been used, but her second-in-command, Marquise, revealed to[...]
