Our Verdict
Unfortunately as this is just the first episode of a series that’s probably never going to get made we’ll most likely get to see Selina actually become the ass-kicking catsuit wearing Catwoman (though the nightvision shades are a nice touch). The production standards of Rise of the Catwoman are fantastic though, with good acting, cinematic visuals and an interesting plot. This intro and outro scenes with Lee Meriwether (the OG Catwoman) are particularly nice touches that makes the whole thing feel that much more authentic.
