The Catwoman Barbie and Batman dolls, designed by Bill Greening, pay homage to the iconic character Julie Newmar portrayed in the 1966 Batman TV series. Released in 2012, these dolls are part of the Barbie Collector Pink line, which showcases collectible dolls celebrating significant cultural icons and moments.

Julie Newmar was the first actress to portray Catwoman in the 1960s series starring Adam West as Batman. This television adaptation of the DC Comics characters quickly gained popularity, becoming a cult phenomenon. The show featured the Dynamic Duo—Batman and Robin, also known as the Boy Wonder—as they battled a variety of master criminals, including the cunning and alluring Catwoman.
