Catman (Thomas Reese Blake) is a fictional character in comic books published by DC Comics who was initially one of the more colorful and camp supervillains to join Batman’s growing roster of enemies in the mid-1960s.
For decades, the character rarely appeared in comic books, as Batman stories returned to darker themes. A modern revival of the character in the pages of Green Arrow many years later depicted a Catman down on his luck, clinging to past glories, overweight, and pathetic.
In 2006, however, the character was rehabilitated by writer Gail Simone, depicting Blake as having picked himself up from the gutter, restoring his physical fitness and gaining a new sense of purpose and dignity while living with lions in Africa. Stories since then have depicted him as an attractive and capable antihero, and the highly capable leader of the mercenary team Secret Six.

I liked him enough as a faux-yet-depressed-Batman in Secret Six, didn't like when they tried to shoehorn him into Catwoman's background though.

I remember Catman when I was still reading comics with Secret Six. His Wikipedia entry makes it seem that he hasn't been used since 2014.
