SDCC: Catwoman Is in Big Trouble in Not-So-Little 1930s China
Just to remind folks that while DC’s movie division might be run by a bowl of Jell-O, the cartoon division is still great, which they proved by premiering this upcoming DC Nation clip of Catwoman — a Catwoman, at least — running around in 1930s Shanghai. It’s bizarre, but it’s beautiful, and it’s pretty damn cool. Which is probably small consolation when Marvel has five or more major motion pictures coming out over the next three years, but it’s better than nothing. Barely. (Via io9)
