Full Holly Robinson Biography
Holly Robinson is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. She was introduced during Frank Miller's Batman: Year One story arc.
Holly was trained by Wildcat and her friend Selina Kyle, and became the new Catwoman following the birth of Selina's daughter.
Holly made her first appearance in Frank Miller's Batman: Year One as a 13-year-old runaway. Holly has two siblings, a brother named Davey and another whose name has not been revealed. Both Holly and Selina were prostitutes who met when Selina rescued Holly from a cop who was trying to hustle her. However, when Selina became Catwoman, she left Holly behind. After escaping the streets, Holly joined Selina's sister, Maggie, at her convent. However she never felt entirely a part of that world, and a few years afterwards she left the convent, parting ways with Maggie.
Holly returned to the streets and went back to drugs and prostitution. After a series of brutal murders of working girls, Holly returned to the original apartment that she and Selina had once shared, and finding that Selina had returned, was happily reunited with her friend.Holly Robinson.

Holly cleaned up her act and became a sidekick of sorts to Selina, working as her eyes and ears and ferreting out what was happening on the streets of the East End for her. She met up again with an old friend, Karon, and the two of them have been dating since Catwoman #3.
Holly was severely traumatized after she was forced to kill Sylvia, a childhood friend of Selina's who had turned on her. Holly isolated herself for a time, and stole some of Maggie's painkillers. However, she didn't take any of the drugs and healed to some degree when Selina and she reunited.
Selina decided that Holly needed some training if she was to be involved in her crime-fighting, and took her on a road trip to train with Ted Grant. They then traveled through several cities before ending up in St. Roch, where it was revealed that Selina and Slam had located her brother Davey. She found him working at a bar and the two caught up. He revealed that he had run away also a few years later, and had traveled around the world.
After the events of Infinite Crisis, DC Comics jumped forward in time. One year later, Holly Robinson has taken over as the new Catwoman, replacing Selina Kyle, who has retired.
In Catwoman #53, Holly Robinson made her first appearance as Catwoman; at the close of the issue she is ambushed by Angle Man. Although Holly escapes, she is caught on film administering a brutal beating to Angle Man. Reluctant to ask Selina for help, Holly turns instead to Ted Grant.
Holly is arrested after she takes the blame for the murder of Black Mask (Selina had actually committed the crime.) She is rescued from jail by Selina and takes a short break from being Catwoman. While Selina is getting Holly's real name erased from the police database, Holly again suits up as Catwoman to rescue a kidnapped girl from a new villain named Blitzkrieg. During the rescue she runs into Hammer and Sickle, who want Selina dead, and are perfectly willing to dispose of Holly in the meantime. Selina arrives and the two escape.
In an interview posted at Comic Book Resources on May 22, 2007, series writer Paul Dini revealed that Holly will be a major player in DC Comics' 2007 weekly comic Countdown.
Holly first appears in Countdown #47; she rescues an elderly homeless man, moving him away from debris falling from a destroyed building. Homeless herself, she is offered a place to stay by a mysterious woman wearing a stola or chiton who goes by the name Athena. Holly accepts the offer to stay at an Athena Women's Shelter, which houses battered and abused women. One of the residents is a reformed Harley Quinn.After some hate protests as a fallout from the Amazon-American war, she is outraged to find that the shelter would refuse a single mother and seeks to speak to their boss and goddess, "Athena". She tells Athena of it and Athena convinces her to go on a quest. When Harleen questions Holly on why she is training in the shelter's gym, Holly reveals to Harleen that she has been asked to take part in Athena's self-esteem workshop. Harleen is overjoyed at the news. Holly is placed in a battle armor for so-called "purification ritual" where the women are made to fight. Only Holly and Harley make it to the end.
Holly has no meta-abilities. She has been taught stealth, atheltics, hotwiring, lockpicking, thieving, acrobatics and the martial arts by Selina. Ted Grant trained her in a form of kick-boxing adapted for street use, as well as English boxing. She is proficient in the use the whip, firearms, and knives. |
