(Catwoman II #66) - Catwoman heard a news broadcast of Nicholas Scratch, who wanted Gotham gone, not satisfied with the city being cut off from federal aid. He described the tragic lives of the children in Gotham, and it struck a chord with Catwoman. He mentioned her by name as a vile person addicted to stealing like it was a drug.
