Do you have a new cat in your life who looks like a certain hero? Or maybe their personality is a little more villainous. Or maybe you’re just a big fan of the characters in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) movies. Whatever the case may be, your kitty needs a name, and these films provide no shortage of great cat name inspiration!
DC comics was founded by pulp magazine writer Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson in 1934. He introduced the world to superheroes like Batman, Cat Woman, Superman, The Green Lantern, and many, many more. He also introduced the world to unforgettable supervillains, like The Joker and Lex Luther.

Whether your kitty has the personality of a superhero, supervillain, or NEITHER, you can find a great name on this list!
