Who was the best Catwoman from the Batman TV Series? For me, I absolutely loved Lee Meriwether when I saw her on Batman re-runs in the early 70's.

Not saying they compare but for the sake of argument there is also Anne Hathaway, Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.

One fine point; Lee Meriwether only appeared in the Batman movie that had same cast as the TV series, and was made at the same time (1966) as the TV series. So my memories as a 12 year old of Catwoman must have been Julie Numar.

I need to post a "modern" Catwoman poll; or perhaps best Catwoman of all time.

Not saying they compare but for the sake of argument there is also Anne Hathaway, Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry.

The batman Movie actually scored 78% on Rotten Tomatoes.

IMHO, the decent rating is because of Lee Meriwether's appearance . Others may disagree with my highly slanted and un-scientific analysis.

Lee Meriweather as Catwoman; sexy cute.
Julie Newmar as Catwoman; sexy cute.
Eartha Kitt as Catwoman; sexy hot !

Eartha Kitt, FTW.

Thank you for making that point. As much as I love Ms. Meriweather, Julie Nemar was always my fave.

Julie all the way. Lee was sweet and Eartha was fine but Julie was one of my "Tv crushes" even at anearly age. Of the moderns I'll take Anne. Yes I like brunnettes. As an aside if you want to see a very young and beautiful Julie watch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. She was one of the kidnapped brides. Dorcus was her character's name. I prefer her Batman years. That figure...

Cheers, Todd

As a six year old, I didn't know why I liked Julie Newmar, but I sure liked her.

Julie Newmar was great, but it was Batgirl (Yvonne Craig) whom I was really after:

Newmar without a doubt. This shouldnt even be a question!

The Catwoman from Batman TAS voiced by Adrienne Barbeau is the best in my mind. That is only because it is my favourite version of Batman along with Batman Beyond.

I agree, but then I have always liked my women darker.
