Based on research and insider knowledge presented here: Holy Cow! Super Powers Extravaganza!, that Catwoman was NOT an unproduced Super Powers item, rather an early prototype of Batman Returns Catwoman, before costumes and appearances were finalized (toys have to go in design and production well before the movie's release, and Kenner didn't even bother to get the movie Penguin right!). While some Super Powers character's looks were redesigned for the toys, that Catwoman outfit doesn't appear in Super Powers presentation artwork, etc.

The confusion come from 90's Toy Magazines, and such magazines in the 90's were exactly investigative journalism. There was some assuming Kenner DC this was made for Kenner that. Same with Swamp Thing. The idea that Kenner just developed a Swamp Thing toy line that was similar in scale to Super Powers wasn't acceptable, Swamp Thing had to be an unproduced figure...except he wasn't. Kenner used that scale a lot.

Years ago, I pointed those things out, along with the website I linked (when it was a better state) to a certain smug "toy expert/archivist" on youtube after his Super Powers video and he couldn't admit he was wrong, after all, he used old magazines as sources. Never mind all the years of online fandom and others looking into things.

All that said, sure Catwoman in new Super Powers would be fine.
