The mention of Batman got me thinking of Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer, not Halle Berry). Sheā€™s my pick. Sexy, sharp, ā€˜I am woman, hear me roarā€™, kicking Christopher Walkenā€™s talented butt, and she has 9 lives. [Yup.](http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/724/untitledgretrtrtt7ec.png) ---

Okay, as backups, in case any of my previous choices failā€¦either Derek Flint or Buckaroo Banzai. And _no oneā€™s_ picked Sherlock Holmes, yet? Sure, heā€™s a 152 year old former (?) cocaine addict with autistic traitsā€¦but hell, you canā€™t keep a good man down. ---

Archie Goodwin. Heā€™s good with his fists, great with a gun, and could talk almost anyone out of almost anything. Plus, if he gets into trouble, his boss, Nero Wolfe, will actually _leave his house_ and come rescue him. And Wolfe can do anything. Then he might feed me and show me his orchids. I could live with that. ---
