Yvonne Craig even got noticed by Batman (and, yes, the video is real), quite an accomplishment.

[karnage]

Batwoman was a minor character at best.

Catwoman was major.

[Jonty30]

Since I know that superhero movies are going liberal, I don’t have to care.

[Rastus]

The video is real, but that’s not Yvonne Craig. It’s Erin Carufel.

[Vendome]

She’s hawt

[Vermont Lt]

She was “Cat Woman.”

This is Bat Woman.

I do not know the difference.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“They need to take her to a pet grooming service to minimize the chances of her coughing up any hair balls.”

Just remove the wig.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Holy D-Cup, Batman!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

With Snoop Dogg as Prince Charming:

“Yo bi*ch, get up, fo shizzle” won’t quite have the same ring to it.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

More racial appropriation. Why is it not OK for a white to play a character of color, but its OK for a black to play a historically white character?

So how is this the first black women in the role 40 years after Eartha Kit had the role. Was Eartha not black enough?

[Flash Bazbeaux]

Eartha was Cat
This new one is Bat

[Pollster1]

Thank you.

[dp0622]

I must have woken up in 1970

[poinq]

And Santa Baby

[PLMerite]

Hubba, hubba.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Eartha Kitt was first.

[tallyhoe]

Maybe they will rename it Coal Black!

[tallyhoe]

I want to see an all Asian remake of Shaka Zulu!

That would be good!!

I’d cast my vote for Yvonne Craig ...
******************************************
She lived just across our alley, about two houses away (Dallas).

When I was ~13, she was 14-15. She and her friends would walk down the side street next to my house, wearing very short shorts showing beautiful legs, etc. Made for wonderful dreams! Her parents soon moved to CA where Yvonne could pursue her career. ....Beautiful girl.
