Of course, if you still want to consider her costume as The Cat as Catwoman's first, that's your prerogative. For me, I still make the distinction.

...not to mention the fact that I think The Cat's costume is silly, even by 1940's standards. It's a bright yellow dress with a orange cape and a purple Halloween mask. Sounds like a great idea for someone who should have stealth as her highest priority being a cat burglar.

Yes that's it. I typically do use a character's name over identity, so while I acknowledge that this isn't Catwoman's first (I assumed Cat-Woman was like Spider-Man, a hyphen for hyphen's sake), it is Selina Kyle's first costume.
My only point point in ever venturing into characters' original costumes was to say that Bane (and many characters formed in the 90s) was unique in having his very first costume stick and be his most iconic base.
@ CMIII, you were right I don't read New 52. That being said, I looked up his new look, eww. I only meant that artists who used the original concept and put in the finer details made it look better with time, not that mess. And his face getting cut off, I don't know the point or reason of it, but this feels like DC is borrowing a little from Marvel this time. In Marvel Moon Knight is one of the Batman characters (rich, brooding, a detective, martial arts master, etc.), the distinct difference is that Moon Knight is a schizophrenic with dissociative identity disorder (an acute multiple personality disorder). My point is eventually Moon Knight cuts off his arch-villain's face, and later the villain is brought back from the dead and wears his cut off face as a mask. I feel like New 52 Joker did this too, granted it wasn't Batman who cut it off (I gather from reading) and the act didn't kill The Joker, but the idea of it feels borrowed. Back to New 52, just no, and Joker has a daughter now too?! I mean I don't read the comics anymore, but who thought that was a good new pitch?
