Catman was a Golden Age superhero published for the first time in Crash Comics. Currently he is in the public domain, so anyone can use the character in any way they want.
I kinda wonder if the makers of Fairy Oddparents knew Catman was a real character and a Batman villain at that when they created there Catman and cast Adam West as the voice.

During a robbery attempt Catman beat little Johnny to a pulp, but Johnny began a training program, learned the martial arts, and became Dogman. As Dogman, Johnny ambushed Catman in the Catcave and broke his back. 🐺

@@damianprock1650 No, I'm not messing with you. Ball of Yarn Man was one of those early, obscure DC villains. He had only one appearance (like Pack Rat from "Batman - The Animated Series"). His main weapon was yarn; and, he had super-sharpened knitting needles which he used as throwing knives; and, a pair of scissors which he could take apart and use as two swords at the same time. His whole gimmick was about how he would LITERALLY spin his victims into giant balls of yarn until it was only their heads sticking out. Then, he would mock, rob and/or kill his victims. It was funny, because if he ever did that to a super-hero or another villain, he would leave them in a ball of yarn which was the same color as their costumes. So, it was like, "Where is he carrying all that yarn of different colors?" However, In that one appearance, Catman used his razor-sharp claws to tear Ball of Yarn Man apart...just like an actual cat would tear an ACTUAL ball of yarn. This was all after Catman became a good guy; after Dead Shot killed his family of lions; and, after those two teamed up. The fight left Ball of Yarn Man dead, and he never made another appearance. It was one of the most one-sided fights in the History of comic books. He was a very obscure character, but I liked him because of his ridiculous name; his ridiculous appearance; and, his ridiculous gimmick. They just needed to give Catman another enemy, and someone thought, "How about someone with the powers of a ball of yarn?" I would have personally gone with something like "Dogman," or "Mouseman," or even Pack Rat would've been a good choice. But...whatever.
@@riddlerthediddler4392 Remember Ball of Yarn Man's catch-phrase? "I've been 'yarn-ing' to meet you! We're going to have a ball." Such a terrible character...but, he's so bad that it's hilarious! Definitely one of my favorite obscure DC villains.
I don’t think it will ever happen. But I genuinely love the secret six. Especially Catman, Bane, and Deadshot. That series will forever live rent free in my head.
I remember that comicbook and cover of The Batman or Detective Comic where he surrounded Batman and Robin with a circle of flames, and to show that he had 9 Lives, he walked thru the flames without being hurt. I'm sure that same comicbook is worth much money now, and the story in it was good. It was the first time I saw the Cat-man.
Got the "Kathmandu" song in my head. Scenes are also flickering. The Black Panther. And the Puma. And even an obscure cartoon hero from the 1960's: a parody on Batman, a humanized animal, Courageous Cat.
I would really love a Secret Six series, with Catman as the main character and Deadshot and Scandal Savage as close 2nd, changing leadership among those three depending on the mission. But pretty sure Will Smith would not allow him not to be the main character, besides his salary would be too much for the production, so I doubt it will ever happen. The Secret Six comics made me love Catman a lot, Gayle is a great writer and I love what she did with the character and the bro/enemy relationship between him and Deadshot.
Catman forgiving Deadshot for murdering his pet cats is an insane plot point. No one in their right mind would become friends with someone who deliberately murdered your pets
Portray him accurately not as someone else personality wise. Let a character be themselves not some copy of a diff character. Just cause they are antheroes doesn't mean ya can do catman like that. I'm not saying peacemaker isn't a amazing character. I'm just saying don't copy or be derivative
So we have -catwoman -catman -wildcat -bronze tiger More cat named DC characters than I was expecting tbh. But I guess you also have multiple bat named characters. So maybe not that surprising in hindsight.
What's funny is that in the Lego Batman movie right after he's mentioned, the Lego man airplane pilot looked at The Joker like he was more crazy than usual to which The Joker assures him that they are all real ask Google. RUclips channel Double Toasted had a good time reviewing the Lego Batman movie, laughing riot.
For the sake of character-bio completeness, CATMAN was also featured as guest-villain DC's May '89 issue of MANHUNTER (#13), when MH III (Mark Shaw), a bounty-hunter stalking costumed criminals, tracked Catman in the midst of his latest string of cat-related heists. Kim Yale wrote, Pablo Marcos did the interior art, Doug Rice did the cover.

Catman?! “Catman, do me a solid?” Made me think of the cartoon Perfect Hair Forever. “Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah, no, man. Whenever you get a window, man. Like right now!” Hahaha
Cat Man had appeared in the series, Batman: The Brave & The Bold, but in the Batman Adventures comics, which are based on Batman TAS, where he wore a costume similar to Cat Woman's costume!!!
There was a fictional Catman in Justice Guild of America comics in Justice League animated series. Also there’s a Catman in marvel comics part of the Animal Men team
Catman wouldn't be out of place in the Watchman verse, He wants to be a good guy but severe personal flaws like alcoholism, anger and self loathing prevent him from doing so.
I think it's funny that in the show The fairly odd parents they have cat man and is voiced by Adam West I thought it was the funniest thing. Now I wanna know who's better cat man or kraven the hunter?.
I just saw this episode today 5:10 and I could not believe it was real, my first thought that crossed my mind was Fairy Oddparents. I was thinking that maybe some of the animators of that show ended up in the Bat's show and thought it would be funny to put Catman in Brave and the Bold, boy was I wrong. Ahhh shoot, I even saw this specific pan shoot servral times for a scrap-project a few years ago and he was there the whole dang time. 7:22 - 7:29

Good narrator. Moves through the content at a good pace that doesn't make listening difficult for the viewer.
Catman’s run in the secret six was very good.. the series would make a good “suicide” type movie..
Who brought Batman TO his knees, NOT ON his knees.
Quite the difference in implications
Gail Simone did say she wrote him with the intention of being bisexual. So….either works 🤷♂️
Got the "Kathmandu" song in my head.
Scenes are also flickering.
