    Catwoman stealthily entered the Batcave, her eyes gleaming with mischief. She held a strange gadget in her hand, its purpose known only to her. Batman, unaware of her intentions, stood at a distance, watching her.

    With a flick of her wrist, Catwoman activated the gadget. A bright light enveloped both of them. When the light faded, Catwoman found herself in Batman's body while Batman was now in Catwoman's.

    Catwoman, now in Batman's body, called out to Alfred. She put on her best Batman voice, telling him that Catwoman had broken into the cave and needed to be removed immediately.

    Alfred, trusting Batman's word, escorted the real Batman, now in Catwoman's body, out of the Batcave. Batman protested, but Alfred was convinced he was dealing with Catwoman.

    Batman, now stuck in Catwoman's body, tried to convince others of his true identity. But no one believed him. They laughed at his claims, thinking it was a joke.

    Meanwhile, Catwoman, relishing in her newfound power, started spending Batman's fortune. She bought expensive jewels and artifacts, enjoying the high life she always dreamt of.

    On the other hand, Catwoman was growing tired of Batman's life. The responsibility and the constant threat of danger were more than she had bargained for. She began to miss her old life.

    Catwoman agreed to switch back, but the gadget was broken. They needed to find a way to repair it. Batman suggested seeking help from Lucius Fox, Wayne Enterprise's top engineer.
