Secondary cover theme: Cat Grant, Amanda Waller and Jefferson Pierce are all single parents.

You can have a cool point!

However, there was a secondary connection between those three characters that was a bit too unique for me not to count. So if someone can figure it out, another cool point is waiting!

She doesn't have to be plotting the fall of western civilization, but she does have to be a burglar. Something just almost below the radar of the Batman.

The DCAU version is probably the best example of this: she was still a thief, but when Batman needed help she was there for him.

All the risk of before (she still commits burglaries, just not instead of rich financiers, it's rich crooks), but now with the aspect of honor to it. Doing the 'wrong thing' for the 'right reason'. It also puts her in a different place with the Batman, which involves a lot less hatred. I like the semi-heroic Catwoman now.

I don't dollow DC much, but I seem to remember something about Waller & the Black Lighnting dude kissing it. That would go with Superman's "death". I don't have any idea for the SFC. I was going with Captain Carrot & the Zoo Crew until #'s 4 & 5. I agree that at this point you can't really classify CatWoman as hero or villian. Anti-hero fits her much better.
