The Mayor arrives with city officials and honored guests for the special ceremony. One of the guests is Max Shreck, a tough, shrewd and ruthless businessman, who speaks to the people of peace and love. The festivities are interrupted when an enormous gift-wrapped package arrives and rolls forward. As everyone stares at it in anticipation, the package erupts like a Trojan horse, spewing forth an assortment of circus characters who launch a spectacular attack on The Plaza. The mayhem escalates until Bruce Wayne, in the guise of his alter-ego, Batman, intercedes. One of the victims Batman rescues is Max's secretary, Selina, a mousey wimp of a woman. Selina continues home to her lonely apartment where her only companion is her pet cat, Miss Kitty.Unnoticed in all the confusion, Max has been abducted by the attackers and taken underground to the realm of The Penguin, a man with penguin-like features. The Penguin rants and raves how he is angry at the toxic waste that Shreck's various industries have produced in the environment. He states that he wants to find his real roots - to find who his parents are. What he really wants is power, which he will achieve by running for Mayor of Gotham City. He blackmails Max into helping him achieve his goal.In the meantime, Selina returns to Max's office where she had forgotten to prepare background material for Max's meeting with Bruce Wayne. While doing her research, she uncovers some incriminating information on Max's new power plant. Max returns to his office and realizing Selina could be a threat to him, he pushes her through a glass window, where she falls, presumably, to her death below. As she lies dying on the snowy street below, in her delirium she summons Miss Kitty, who appears with a rescue team of many cats and they perform a strange form of feline CPR. They revive Selina, but there is something different about her. As if in a trance, the dazed Selina returns to her apartment where she transforms herself into Catwoman. Victim no more, as the predatory Catwoman, she seeks her revenge on Max and society. As Selina, and feigning memory loss from an accident, she returns to the office of a surprised Max where she meets Bruce. Bruce is attracted to her and a romance develops.As Bruce and Selina, they become lovers, but as Catwoman, she becomes Batman's seductive nemesis. She is but one more villain on Batman's growing list of evil-doers. Batman has his work cut out for him as he battles to save Gotham from the forces of evil.
