Live Poll: Face-Off: African American Catwomen

Zoë Kravitz portrays Catwoman in The Batman (2022) making her the third African American woman playing the character.

Her two predecessors both made history in the role.

In 1967 Eartha Kitt became the third actress to portray Catwoman in the Batman (1966) TV series after she replaced Julie Newmar. She was the second African American woman to have a recurring role in television and the role is considered to have helped break racial boundaries in tv.

37 years later, her role inspired the performance of Halle Berry in Catwoman (2004). While the film was bashed by critics and it is still considered as one of the worst films in history. It became the most succesful comic book film with a female leading character until the release of Wonder Woman (2017) in 2017. It also remains the only comic book film with an African American woman as the main character.

Which of the two previous African Americans portraying Catwoman was the most groundbreaking?
