First Catwoman NFT

The Story

Selina Kyle first appeared in Batman #1, cover-dated Spring 1940, where she was billed simply as "the Cat." Bill Finger and Bob Kane created her as a jewel thief and a foil who could match Batman's wits without wanting to hurt him. That same issue introduced the Joker, which makes Batman #1 the shared origin point for two of Gotham's most enduring characters. Over the decades Selina moved from straight burglar to antiheroine, sometime ally, and the longest-running romantic counterweight in Batman's life.

She has crossed into film and television about as often as Batman himself. Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, and Eartha Kitt played her in the 1960s, Michelle Pfeiffer defined the modern take in 1992, and Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, and Zoe Kravitz have all carried the role since. When people look up who Catwoman is or when she first appeared, the trail runs from that 1940 debut through decades of comics, cartoons, and movies to this VeVe collectible.

The sculpt comes from DC's Cover Girls line, a long-running collection built around dynamic pin-up style renders of DC's leading women. This Selina is drawn by Joelle Jones, who wrote and drew a celebrated Catwoman solo run and knows the character's body language well. She is perched on a vault, claws out, goggles up, wearing the sleek dark bodysuit, caught in the moment right before the heist pays off. It is a pose that reads as Catwoman even in a lineup of other characters.

Edition Breakdown

Catwoman is the Uncommon tier of the four-piece Cover Girls Series 1 set. The others are a Batgirl (Common), a Mera (Rare), and a Supergirl (Ultra Rare). Pull odds on Catwoman ran about 1 in 3.26, so she sat one step scarcer than the Common Batgirl in that set.

Supply is fixed at 10,800 editions, with one burned and 10,799 in circulation. The drop was capped at two per account, which spread the initial allocation across a wider set of wallets instead of letting a few buyers corner it. First available edition was #41. As with any VeVe piece, serial number drives value inside that run, so First Editions and low mints carry a premium.

Market Context

This drop is a Season 2 release, later than the genesis Batman Black & White villains but still early in VeVe's history. The 10,800 count is larger than the Season 1 DC firsts, which puts it in a more accessible tier for collectors who want a Catwoman first without chasing a sub-5,000 supply. List price was $49.99 with a 2.50% market fee.

The supporting infrastructure has matured around it. VeVe finished migrating to the Collect blockchain in January 2026, StackR opened OMI trading in April 2025, and self-custody is rolling out. Catwoman's steady presence in film keeps new fans finding the character, which slowly widens the audience for a fixed-supply first.

Collector's Note

If you are assembling a Gotham rogues gallery, Catwoman pairs naturally with the first Joker, Harley Quinn, and Penguin NFTs, and there is a nice historical rhyme in owning the first Catwoman and first Joker given they share a 1940 comic debut. The named-artist attribution to Joelle Jones adds provenance most Cover Girls buyers appreciate. Value-wise, aim for a low serial if you can.
