==Fanworks==
===Fan fiction===
* Cat Tales by Chris Dee. Let’s say nearly everything you’ve ever read in a comic book is wrong. The identities are correct: Bruce Wayne is Batman, Selina Kyle is Catwoman. They live in Gotham City. There is a Wayne Manor, a Batcave and Batsignal, etc. But the rest is all exaggeration, distortion, and often the outright lies of a tabloid called The Gotham Post, otherwise known as DC Comics. Long series of Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle stories with artwork and supplementary material by other authors, downloadable as several e-books. Also on line (stories only, no longer updated) at fanfiction.net, Works by Chris Dee
* The League of Extraordinary Women by Diane Castle and sequels. Hermione Granger has to recruit six women to help her stop an army of monsters before her world is overrun. But none of the women are even in her dimension… Start of a multi-fandom crossover series, A Brane of Extraordinary Women; Selina Kyle (the version described in Chris Dee's Cat tales) is one of seven women recruited for a war against demonic invaders.
