Catman (DC Comics)
Catman (Thomas Reese Blake) is a character appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. He is part of Batman’s List of Batman family enemies, growing roster of enemies, debuting in the mid-1960s. For decades, the character rarely appeared in comic books, as Batman stories returned to darker themes.

In 2006, however, the character was rehabilitated by writer Gail Simone, depicting Blake as having picked himself up from the gutter, restoring his physical fitness and gaining a new sense of purpose and dignity while living with lions in Africa. Stories since then have depicted him as an antihero and the leader of the mercenary team Secret Six (comics), Secret Six. Publication history Catman first appeared in ''Detective Comics'' #311 (January 1963) and was created by Bill Finger and Jim Mooney. A different Ca ...
