Catwoman: Gejagt

This 2022 "D. C." animated movie "Catwoman: Hunted" is pretty interesting and entertaining with action, fun, and drama, as it twist which is typical of all "D. C." works. Selina Kyle aka "Catwoman" puts it all on the line even all of her 9 lives for the chance to get a jewel(an emerald). However on the international journey is "Batwoman" and "Interpol" trying to chase and spoil in a wicked cat and mouse game that features assassins, and "Leviathan". Thru it all it's like the ladies the bat and cat work together against the other bad guys. Overall okay animated movie in which the cat prowls and struts her stuff!

Listen.... I'm a huge fan of the DCAU.... And I couldn't make it last 30mins in this movie.

It's just really cringe... the dialogue, the story, the animation.... And what's up with the music??? Seriously... Why are we re getting smooth jazz for a car chase????

I have no idea who this movie is supposed to be for but it sure wasn't made for DC fans.

Catwoman: Hunted is the latest film starring the cat burglar from Batman's rogues gallery, and it has the character in an anime style adventure. After a heist in Spain gets Catwoman into a chase by Black Mask's gang, Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, is taken into the custody by Batwoman, who is working with Interpol to bust the criminal organization, Leviathan. Now in Shanghai, Catwoman takes a deal to help Interpol in exchange for erasing the arrest warrants against her, by serving as a distraction while Batwoman takes out the villains.

For a new Catwoman movie, I find it as meh. The anime style looks good (even if it looks like something out of anime-like cartoons like Totally Spies), and is done by Japanese animators. The story is written by Greg Weisman, who is best known for writing legendary cartoons such as the first two seasons of Gargoyles. It's okay, but not on par with his past works, as the story has Catwoman flirting with Batwoman in certain scenes, and you can tell he injected some Gargoyles designs in one of the villains, Nosferata (who looks like Demona if she was injected with the serum that turns Kirk Langstrom into Man-Bat, and Tobias Whale is voiced by Keith David, whom 90's kids will remember as the voice of Goliath, one of Gargoyle's primary protagonists). Also, it's a little on the short side, being only 79 minutes long. It's a meh movie, but I will gladly take this over the 2004 Catwoman movie.

Catwoman: Hunted is kinda pointless since it lacks any major characters arcs, twists or real narrative but it's a good animated movie that's fast paced enough to be simple and energetic fun.

Elizabeth Gillies gives a really good lead performance and certainly has the charm and energy necessary to play Catwoman. She has solid chemistry with Stephanie Beatriz, who is an effectively cold Batwoman.

The anime influence in the animation definitely helps it standout amongst a increasingly crowded set of films. The music by Robert J. Kral is a mixed bag with some of it being way too much but other parts fitting the scene rather well.

Good music, good voices, well animated. I don't usually watch things like this (animated) but I enjoyed it. It reminded me of Archer which is something I did watch that was animated. I enjoyed it.
