While Rocksteady Studio's Batman: Arkham games are still incredible achievements, some of their more obvious flaws have only grown more glaring over time. Poison Ivy gets relegated to a side character as one of Batman: Arkham's most disappointing villains, and while Catwoman becoming the game's deadly kisser at least saves Poison Ivy from some of the same sexualization, she still barely wears a shirt and underwear in Batman: Arkham City. In Batman: Arkham City, Catwoman is the only hero in the game able to access Poison Ivy, meaning Selina Kyle is stealing her villain's moves without any real purpose. Instead of just punching and kicking like her male counterparts in Batman: Arkham City, Catwoman's move set also consists of her wrapping her legs around opponents' necks and giving them kisses. Making out with an opponent should never serve as an attack for Catwoman, especially when a deadly kiss is Poison Ivy's trademark move (and one that contextually makes a lot more sense).
Why Is Catwoman Kissing All Of Batman: Arkham City's Prisoners?Īs Reddit user holeepug pointed out in their screenshot of the rare "kissing" counterattack, Catwoman's fighting style almost makes challenging her more rewarding than threatening. In fact, the moves should be part of another villain's fighting kit in Batman: Arkham City: Poison Ivy. Catwoman's skintight suit is already one of Batman: Arkham's most poorly aged designs, so the addition of needlessly sexualized moves to further objectify her comes across as a particularly cheap trick. But what's worst about her moveset is that these attacks are unrelated to her character. The most egregious example of this is a counterattack in which she kisses her opponents to subdue them. Namely, Catwoman's fighting kit comes with sexual moves that serve almost no purpose to combat. Now that a decade has passed since the 2011 Batman: Arkham installment, other instances of its strange depictions of women have cropped up. Related: Arkham City's Worst Moment Betrays Batman's Character Of course, in the criminal-filled environment of Arkham City, such harsh language makes sense, but many pointed out that the degree of sexism may have crossed the threshold between a gritty depiction of prison and an unpleasant case of discrimination. Despite being hailed as the best Batman: Arkham game, one of the controversies surrounding Batman: Arkham City when it first came out was that critics did not appreciate the sheer amount of sexist expletives NPCs threw at Catwoman. Indeed, Batman: Arkham City's Catwoman is sexualized to the point that she even kisses her opponents while fighting.Ī critique of some of the strange, sexualized depictions of women in Batman: Arkham City doesn't need to be done in retrospect, however. While fantastic games, Rocksteady Studio's Batman: Arkham series has become somewhat dated in the way it handles women, especially when it comes to the feline antihero Selina "Catwoman" Kyle. tpf file if anyone's interested.Batman: Arkham Citydepicts its female characters rather strangely, but perhaps nothing is weirder than one of Catwoman's counterattacks. Here's a pic of Catwoman in Action, and here's her next to Batman in his Armored Skin. I still have some work to do on the damaged textures. I used Texmod to extract the textures, GIMP for image editing, and Texmod again to recompile the texture pack. This is my first mod ever, so I just pulled stock photos off Google images for the corset and mask. Obvious changes, I made the whole suit darker to match Anne Hathaway's look in TDKR, gave her a corset that way the sexy remains but it's not painful to look at, and I gave her a venetian mask again inspired by TDKR. The only Catwoman mod out there is a nude mod :/, so I decided to make my own.
Was kinda bothered that Catwoman didn't have any mask to protect her identity, or that she isn't wearing a bra while sprinting and jumping around that shit's gonna get real saggy later.
