tvtropes об Эрте Китт в роли Женщины-кошки:

Colorblind Casting: When Julie Newmar was unavailable for the third season, Eartha Kitt was cast as Catwoman in her place. Nothing was made of the fact that she was now black... except that the Ship Tease between her and Batman stopped, to avoid hints of an interracial relationship.

And of course, this [троп "флирт с Женщиной-кошкой"] disappeared entirely once Eartha Kitt stepped into Catwoman's boots, due to Values Dissonance over a black villainess crushing on a white hero and/or the shortened length of the episodes leaving no time for such things. Either way, Kitt's Catwoman was even more of a Card-Carrying Villain than Newmar's, so it probably wouldn't have worked out anyhow.
