In addition, she can use her whip to swing through the air, and utilise the fully interactive environments to trap or knock her foes unconscious. The game will take players through numerous levels set in seven different locations from the movie.

"Catwoman is a great complement to EA's portfolio of global blockbusters and we look forward to delivering a great game based on the film," said Bruce McMillan, EA Executive Vice President worldwide studios.
