"Catwoman&amp;#039;s newly appointed writer Ann Nocenti has explained her take on the DC Comics anti-heroine. The scribe, who succeeded Judd Winick on the title, told USA Today that she sees Selina Kyle as an &amp;quot;empowerment character&amp;quot; with a &amp;quot;natural conscience&amp;quot;. She said: &amp;quot;I know state-raised people who went from orphanage to foster home, and normally they end up in the prison system. She has that kind of an upbringing but she&amp;#039;s empowered.  &amp;quot;To me, she&amp;#039;s kind of an empowerment character. She never steals from the poor - she steals from the rich - but she sort of has a natural conscience. She doesn&amp;#039;t make that leap to, oh, I should do good things in the world.&amp;quot; DC&amp;#039;s Catwoman has made the headlines on several occasions since its relaunch last September. The first issue caused controversy with its depiction of a sex scene between the title character and Batman, and Guillem March&amp;#039;s provisional cover design for issue #0 was ridiculed for showing Catwoman in a physically impossible pose. Catwoman #0 was released in stores today. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
