In a variant cover recently revealed by Catwoman #52 by David Nakaya with costume designs by Nico Leon, Eiko gets her own outfit while going through Selina Kyle while behind bars.

Future problems of the Catwoman series by Tini Howard, Sami Basri, and Nico Leon tease that Kyle will be arrested after being implicated in a murder, prompting Hagisawa to act as Catwoman in his absence. Now, readers are getting a closer look at the new Catwoman as her costume is shown in new DC Comics art.

The stunning DC art, which includes Catwoman’s new costume, designed by Nico Leon, features the sword-wielding hero in her own variation on the classic anti-hero outfit. Sporting a cropped leather jacket, leg and waist straps and a gray leather bodysuit, Eiko looks ready for action in her new ensemble. Check out Nakayama’s cover below.
Can Eiko Nagisawa keep Gotham City going as Catwoman during Selina’s absence?
The synopsis of the text by Catwoman DC Comics #52 reveals more details about Selina being locked up behind bars and befriending criminals while sharing that Eiko Hasigawa will be patrolling Gotham City in her place. DC’s new Catwoman will be quite busy as she will be assisted by the anti-hero, Tomcat.
It seems that the cat is the new black in Gotham’s prison, as Selina quickly finds herself working her way as the queen cat behind bars by making friends with all the wrong types (who, of course, are also exactly her ). Meanwhile, Eiko Hasigawa continues to roam the streets of Gotham as Catwoman keeping mob bosses in check, with a little help from…Tomcat.
Eiko Hasigawa has plenty of experience dealing with criminal enterprises, so even though she has a dark past, DC’s new Catwoman seems well-equipped to handle the defense of Gotham City while Selina Kyle is locked up for murder. Can she stay on the straight and narrow, or will Batman come knocking on her door? The cover by David Nakayama Catwoman #52 of DC Comics hits comic shops in February 2023.
