“Batman: Killing Time” was the rare recent Bat book that I did not instantly dislike. To be clear, it’s not great, and there are some very cringy moments (Selina would never socialize with Joker), but it was a nice diversion. While the story was above mediocre, the art was excellent. More importantly, the character design was top notch.

David Marquez’s take on Catwoman inspired me to make this custom. “Hey Casimir, it’s just Catwoman in black. What’s the big deal?” Ah, but it’s that simplicity that makes her stand out. With just the addition of the zipper, she stands apart from so many similar costumes. Or maybe I just seized the opportunity to make an easy custom.

The DC Direct Essential Catwoman is the base figure. I dyed the body black, cut the hair, and painted the head. The zipper is cut from a styrene tube, marked with a chrome pen and paint.
