Quotes
VERONICA: Just once I'd like to throw a party without some kook showing up!
--
SELINA: You've gotta be kidding! Ha ha ha!
SCARFACE: What's she laughing at? My fly ain't open, is it?
VENTRILOQUIST: No, sir!
SCARFACE: So, what's the gag?
SELINA: Ha ha ha! Oh, come on, you know!
SHE USES HER HAND LIKE A MOUTH AND TALKS OUT OF THE SIDE OF HER OWN, MIMICKING THE VENTRILOQUIST AND SCARFACE.
SELINA: What's the gag?
--
SELINA: You're boring me, log.
--
CATWOMAN: What a pleasant surprise. Though I should warn you, breaking and entering is against the law.
BATMAN: You should know.
--
CATWOMAN: You know what's wrong with our relationship? You always let me get too close.
CATWOMAN KICKS BATMAN IN THE STOMACH. HE FALLS TO THE FLOOR.
--
BATMAN: We don't have to make this difficult.
CATWOMAN: But somehow we always do.
--
SCARFACE: I thawt I thaw a putty tat!
--
SCARFACE: Now we're gonna find out if there really is more than one way to skin a cat.
--
VENTRILOQUIST: Please, I never hurt you. Scarface, he's another person. Not me, really.
CATWOMAN: But he's inside you somewhere and I'm going to keep scratching until I find him.
--
CATWOMAN: I am the cat who walks by herself.


Review: An unlikely team-up of sorts between Catwoman and Scarface / Ventriloquist, but it was well handled. It was nice to see Catwoman the way she should be, a villain. Also, it was nice to see Scarface the way he should be, a cheat (although he was never portrayed otherwise in the series, it was nice to have him back.) The best scene was in the car when Selina meets Scarface for the first time and laughs, then makes fun of him. The small impression is great.

The animation was great too, with a nice quick style during the Rhino / Batman fight, and some nice acrobatic moves by Catwoman. Scarface was well done too, giving a bit of fear look on his face when he landed on the conveyor belt with the spinning metal blade.
