She's a thief. The year one backstory doesn't fit at all with where we left off with the Nolanverse. Batman doesn't need an ambivalent fellow masked rouge/vigilante, he need someone to hunt him, and a way to redeem himself. Catwoman provides neither of those things, and an inclusion in any but a greatly altered version (to play one of those two roles) would be pure fanboy fluff.
Do I need to read Year One again? As I remember, she provided some filler, some eye candy, and an occasional deus ex machina. Her role could have easily been redistributed if it wasn't considered 'neccessary' to the canon.
