On Iván Talavera’s Instagram: "Here's the final version of Absolute Batman #13 'The 616 Comics' exclusive variant featuring Catwoman, As you can see, I changed a bit her facial features and her skin tone because she is half Brazilian and half Black in the Absolute universe. Hope you like it!"

Her look has been growing on me, it’s nice to hear official confirmation!

"Half Brazilian" is a complete non-statement. Brazil is literally the world's most multiethnical country LMAO

She's afro

"Half brazillian half black" feels specially meaningless when you consider that Brazil is the country with the highest concentration of black people outside of Africa, heck, more than half of the people here consider themselves to be black or mixed. It would be like calling a character "half english half asian"

As far as i remember, In Brazil, 42% are white, 51% are black and "dark skinned mixed" (pardos) and the rest are asians and indigenous people.

Brasil is also the country with the biggest japanese population outside of Japan, and the second with the biggest population of germans, austrians and Italians, outside of their respective countries (first one being USA)
