In the gametrailers gameplay footage video, they announce Catwoman as a villain, but any DC fan knows that in current continuity she's considered more a "hero" these days. She is kinda a tweener in the comics, but always considered more the hero. (teaming up with batman in a recent arc and also wildcat) Weird direction for her i guess.
 
But you will also note that she does kill. At least on a few occasions. Not sure about "current continuity" but she's definitely killed in the past, which means she can have a fatality.
 
Catwoman "overall" is neither a hero or villian, but rather a "neutral" character. She's far from evil, but isn't exactly "goody goody" either. She has at times done good deeds and bad ones, overall I'd say she's more of a neutral character like Scorpion(at least of late and past few games, not early on)
 
If you look at past comic book continuity, she was always a villain, but with the caveat that she wasn't evil like say Brainiac or Joker, she just didn't mind robbing the jewelry store or whatever. So historically, she's considered a villain--especially if you compare her to Supermen or Wonder Woman, etc.
 
Yes yes yes, but the point is they said all the villains will have fatalities, and yet Catwoman doesn't like to kill. So the "villain" moniker is an important distinction to make in reference to THIS GAME so that we know if she will be killing people (out of character) or not.
 
I think it's better that she's a villain. The more killers we have in this game the better.

OK, I take your point. Yes, it would seem out of character for Catwoman to be a killer and Batman or Wonder Woman not.

That seems to be a bit of a problem overall. The "melding" of the two universes is a bit of a stretch. I'll still play it though.
