DVD Review!
“Catwoman: Hunted” (Digital/Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD) Review by Suzanne 2/5/22
This is another great DC superhero animated movie. They do such a wonderful job with them. In fact, their live action movies should be as good as these are, but sadly, they always miss the mark. I love the story, and this has fantastic animation and style. It’s very cool. It has a 60’s sort of vibe, but it’s anything but old-fashioned.
Catwoman takes the protagonist lead in this movie as she tries to steal a valuable emerald. She’s not the only one trying to steal it, however. Other familiar characters include Batwoman, Tobias Whale, Black Mask and Leviathan. There is plenty of action and very fun dialogue. They did a great job on the casting. This is not for children as it’s kind of violent.
There are two special features. One is “When the Hunter Becomes the Hunted” and the other is “Catwoman: The Feline Femme Fatale.” They’re both worth watching for any fan. This 4K Ultra edition also comes with a Blu-ray disk and a digital code for downloading it. Every DVD should have all of these options!

Everyoneâs favorite felonious feline takes action, adventure and theft to new heights â and in an entrancing anime style â in Catwoman: Hunted, an all-new DC Animated Movie. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, the feature-length animated film is set for release on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack (USA $29.99 SRP; Canada $34.99 SRP), Blu-ray (USA $24.99 SRP; Canada $29.99 SRP) and Digital on February 8, 2022.
Catwoman: Hunted kicks off an impressive slate of DC-centric animated films coming in 2022 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Following Catwoman: Hunted, the 2022 releases include two new entries to the popular DC Universe movies and DC Animated Movies canons â Green Lantern: Beware My Power and Battle of the Super Sons â as well as a film for younger fans, Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse. The year will also see the presentation of DC Showcase â Constantine: House of Mystery, the latest compilation of animated shorts anchored by a story involving the Hellblazer himself; and the highly anticipated 4K Ultra HD release of Batman: The Long Halloween â Deluxe Edition, which ramps up the R-rated action across both halves of the acclaimed film, now melded together as one dynamic thriller.
In the all-new original Catwoman: Hunted, Catwomanâs attempt to steal a priceless jewel puts her squarely in the crosshairs of both a powerful consortium of villains and the ever-resourceful Interpol, not to mention Batwoman. It might just be enough to contain her. Or not.
