1st appearance of The Cat as Catwoman, w/ new costume; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)


Batman #10 features the first appearance of Catwoman under the name that would make her a DC legend, as the villainess made her official fourth appearance after earlier appearances as The Cat and some variant names from indecisive editors. "The Princess of Plunder" also continues to feature the high-society burglar in her early role as a Mistress of Disguise, with Robin taking note as Batman once again allows Catwoman to escape while saving her from her own unsavory henchmen.

This issue also features the classic tale of “The Isle That Time Forgot," which also sort of addresses the classic meta cover by Jerry Robinson and Fred Ray. The strange saga begins with the Caped Crusaders travel back in time while investigating a mysterious island, where they come across all manner of challenges, from boa constrictors to saber-toothed tigers, crazed tribesmen, and even dinosaurs. After defeating this posse of prehistoric perils, Batman and Robin come to discover the entire event was a scam, a ruse to get them to appear in an action movie starring themselves. The duo takes the joke rather well and eagerly await tickets to view their adventure. This is a fun and classic Batman issue, aimed squarely at attracting a younger readership, and the plan worked like a charm, increasing Bat-sales as a result.
