Southern Man, I was sort of glad when I read the first part of your comment because I have never heard of any of these people (except for Halle Berry, and I’m not sure why I’ve heard of her). Then I saw the rest of your comment and I became unsure of whether or not the first part was literal.

I’m sure they were all good in the role (I’ve never seen Halle Berry’s performance, only stills), but I grew up to the original 1960s Batman series, and though I like Eartha Kitt, it will always be Julie Newmar for me.
Tough choice between Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt, but, in the end, I’d have to give the edge to Eartha. Her “purr” was perfect.

Having met Ms. Kitt in person in Houston once after a show – she called me “daaahrling” and invited me to sip champagne in her dressing room – I can say that she was as charming in person as she was on the screen.
Tough choice between her and Julie Newmar. But if you made it either/or, I’d go with Kitt for the same reason as Phineas above.
That was a REALLY tough choice, but I was forced to go with Julie Newmar.
Hillary Clinton.
Actually, Sarah Palin wouldn’t be a bad Catwoman. And she’d certainly look better in a cat-suit than Hillary Clinton.
Michelle Pfieffer from Batman Returns (1992)
Eartha Kitt, no contest.
Julie Newmar, although I did love Michelle Pfeiffer when she purred, “I don’t know about you, puss, but I’m feeling soooooo yummy!”
Who are these people? Lee is the only Catwoman for me! Meow!

Yabba Dabba Do, Peter! You hung out with Eartha Kitt? Awesome.
I can’t believe this is a question. And I can’t believe Julie Newmar isn’t getting 100% of the vote!
Because Eartha Kit was awesome in the role.
Now if we’re asking who the best Batgirl was, no contest Miss Yvonne Craig by a landslide.
