Kitten's got claws! Camren Bicondova transmogrifies into schoolgirl Catwoman on set of Gotham



She is playing a schoolgirl version of Selena Kyle.

But it seems the character's taste in fashion has not changed much as Camren Bicondova transmogrified into Catwoman on the set of Gotham in New York on Thursday.

The 14-year-old dancer and actress was almost unrecognisable when she changed into her leather costume as shooting continued for the forthcoming origin show set in DC's Batman universe.



Who's that girl? Camren Bicondova looked like a regular schoolgirl on the set of Gotham in New York on Thursday Kit-ted out: But she later transformed into a leather clad younger version of Catwoman as filming began

The forthcoming Fox show follows the adventures of a young James Gordon as a policemen in the Gotham Police Department.

But while the show will feature more realistic criminals, some younger versions of Batman's famous rogues gallery will appear in the show.

And it seems the schoolgirl version of Selena is just as adept at burglary, if her antics during filming are guide.

Camren was spotted lithely making her way down a fire escape in what was surely another successful crime caper.

The youngster describes herself as a lover of cats, an attribute that will also come in handy for when she is in character.

And while her skills would surely come in handy for stealing copies of forthcoming exam papers, it seems she is engaged in far more dangerous work despite her youth.

Gotham follows hot on the heels of Agents Of Shield, the Marvel universe show which follows low-level officers in the espionage and law-enforcement agency headed up by The Avengers, though it arguably has more in common with Superman origins show Smallville.

As originally conceived, the series would have served as a straightforward story of Gordon's early days on the Gotham City Police force.



However the idea evolved so it would not only include the Bruce Wayne character, but also tell origin stories of several Batman villains, including the Penguin, the Riddler, Catwoman, Two-Face and the Joker.



A good case for being grounded: If her schoolgirl character is caught she will surely be given a stern talking to by her parents What would Christopher Nolan say: In this version David Mazouz' young Bruce Wayne seems to be a childhood friend of Selena's
