That's a very cool cover!
Spider-Man has so much in common with The Dark Knight - even their rogues gallery is pretty similar.
Green Goblin is kinda like The Joker; Killer Croc is kinda like The Lizard...
Always been a curious one, this. Marv Wolfman swears he didn't consciously consider Catwoman when he created Black Cat, originally as a villain for Spider-Woman rather than Spider-Man, and by all accounts Marv is straight as a die in what he remembers. On the other hand, how could *any* writer conjure up a cat-burglar-themed villainess and *not* be influenced?
The 70s comics Catwoman was a different creature to the late 80s/early 90s version that has since become established, but the Catwoman from the 60s Batman show, most notably played by Julie Newmar, predates the Black Cat template to a tee. And this Catwoman was more in line with the feline femme fatale from the noir 40s comics.
I love both characters, so fair play to all concerned - but I'm not sure about Marv Wolfman's convictions on this one. ::grin::
Also: there's a LOT of commonality with Batman and Spider-Man when you start to dip beneath the dark/light surface. Orphans driven (in different ways) by the tragic death of a beloved parent (or parent figure), raised by an elderly guardian to inherit the deceased parent figure's rigid sense of responsibility, on the grey-shaded edges of the law, and yes, the rogues' galleries (Joker/Green Goblin, Bane/Venom, Catwoman/Black Cat, Hugo Strange/Mysterio, Croc/Lizard, Clayface/Sandman, and probably many more). I guess that's just because they both represent a certain heroic archetype as much as anything else, but it's certainly one that catches an audience's imagination, and one which continues on in a tv show like Arrow for a new audience.
Another similarity between the two is proceed to soldier on after the death of a loved one at the hands of a bitter enemy (Spiderman/Gwen and Batman/Jason). I'm sure there's other similarities to be found. That's why these two teamed up so much in the 90's. But before I digress I have to thank you Ross for using the Golden age costume for Catwoman. My all time favorite and a must for anyone doing good girl art. Any chane of Catwoman/Phantom Lady?
Thants an interesting request. Catwoman and Phantom lady are both DC characters but I don't think they have ever appeared together.
I don't think Spiderman is Marvel's equivalent of Batman, DAREDEVIL IS! I mean, come on, guys.
Actually, Catwoman and Black Cat may not get along as well as you might think:

Ross, you can use the one Not owned by DC. I think the Golden Age one will do.
