Caroline Keene "Carrie" Kelley is a superheroine from Frank Miller's Dark Knight trilogy of Batman graphic novels (1986-2017). She becomes the new Robin in The Dark Knight Returns (1986) when she saves Batman's life. Later in The Dark Knight Strikes Again (2001–2002), she adopts the identity Catgirl, and in The Dark Knight III: The Master Race (2015–2017), she adopts the identity Batwoman.
Carrie was the first full-time female Robin in the history of the Batman franchise, though Julie Madison had passed off as Robin for a brief time in a Bob Kane story published in Detective Comics #49 in March 1941; because Miller's Dark Knight trilogy is not part of the main DC canon, Stephanie Brown became the first mainline female Robin in the early 2000s instead. She has been featured in different forms of media in and out of comics, and made her live-action debut in the television series Gotham Knights, portrayed by Navia Robinson.
