What You Didn't Know About Catwoman's Mother In The Batman

In "The Batman," viewers only really know anything about Maria based on what Selina describes to Bruce or Falcone. But with all the information the movie provides, it appears that this version of Maria is a loving mother who is just unlucky in life. Maria works at the Iceberg Lounge both before and after giving birth to Selina, but unfortunately, she is murdered when Selina is very young, and for a long time, Selina doesn't know who is responsible. Without a real direction in life, Selina grows up and develops the thieving skills she exhibits in the movie, intending to steal some cash, leave Gotham, and start over.

Aside from her career and relationship with Falcone, "The Batman" doesn't reveal too much else about Selina's mother. But one thing is crystal clear, and that's the fact that Selina clearly loves her mother very much and holds no resentment or bad feelings over how she grows up. Instead, all of her grief, hate, and loneliness is targeted at Falcone, who she knows is her father but who has zero involvement in her life, leaving her to grow up all alone after Maria's death.
