21 Quotes That Prove Michelle Pfeiffer Was The Best Catwoman 

Same here. The outfit, the personality, the way she handled that whip, which she had never done before that movie.

The moment your balls dropped huh.

Chris McWilliams Batman Returns was a masterpiece!

@@jaymesEo6 I thought he was talked about the pile of crap that was the 2004 Catwoman movie.

@@nickb9718 You're right I was mistaking this for another comment.

@@jaymesEo6 Its ok.

Right! Would have been great!

Dacbatex47 Anne Hatheway and Christian Bale had no chemistry really. All scenes felt forced. Yeah Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman can never be beat for me.

Did you make your own costume?

musicaltheatergeek79 No I didn't! My grandmother made every Halloween costume each year, so she made the entire costume the first year, she wasn't pleased with the mask, as it was tricky to fit properly. Even with her great skills at sewing. It turned out alright, but the next year'a version was a lot better! She made that one, however, my dad and I found an awesome catwoman mask at a Halloween specialty shop in Nashville, TN. From my first Halloween, through my 13th one, my grandmother made all of my costumes for Halloween, and a few school plays, with the exception of 4th grade, when I was The Devil. My grandmother is an amazing lady, and was, and is, an excellent tailor/seamstress. I'm trying to persuade her to open her own etsy costume shop, she could make mad money! There were a few years where I had 2-3 costumes for that one year, for parties, and to wear in other nearby towns or cities, where trick or treat night wasn't on Halloween night, as it almost always was in my home town, so my family, knowing that Halloween was and is, my favorite holiday, would arrange for me, and in some cases, the other kids in my families, to have multiple trick or treat outtings/nights. Some years I wore the same costume each night, in other years I mixed it up with purchased or rented costumes. It all made for a lot of wonderful childhood memories. Which I treasure more and more as I age! And which also inspires me to try to help ensure that my nieces, nephews and numerous godchildren have as many good times and good memories as I and my sisters and cousins had, if not better! I'm thrilled to see that the next generation have worn some of my old costumes themselves, which speaks of their quality since they are all still in pristine condition, and the kids have plenty of other options to choose from! In fact my precious little niece and nephew have each worn the same white rabbit costume that I wore on my first Halloween! And who knows, years from now, some of their kids may as well!1

I thought it was really sand and she called it kitty litter.

Saved by kitty litter

That would actually have been a good callback.

Sven Seelie Because there is a main artery that runs through the leg.

I haven't watched the movie in a few years, but I am sure if she knows she's out to do bad things (aka get revenge on her boss), she's going to know Batman will be a hindrance. It's not like the entire city doesn't know about him or anything. Additionally, the idea of a man keeping her down (like the connection you made about her having issues with her boss) only reinforces her contempt for him before a first impression can even be made. In contrast to her pre-murdered self, he's not going to let anyone get in the way of what she wants...especially a man. Like her boss, Batman is a man of power who can keep her down. The instant dislike seems natural.

She even says it in the quotes as to why... She is tired of women "...[making] it easy... Waiting for some Batman to save [them]..." I don't think it is a problem WITH Batman, but men in particular, hence her disgust in having to team-up with Penguin... And she probably started the fight on the rooftops because she had just blown up a department store, and immediately ran into Bman fleeing the scene, and he followed her and not the Penguin, so she figured she was caught! #CorneredCatsScratch

Hence, the irony. The writers knew what they were doing.

It's a play on the '70s feminist chant/catchphrase "I am woman, hear me roar!"

musicaltheatergeek79 thanks for the info! 😁

Thank you! I'm like, where was that?

Rachel D EXACTLY!

1ppriiincess Eartha Kitt would make a good Catra from She-ra!!

She’s fantastic. Catwoman doesn’t purr in the comics... Eartha wasn’t Catwoman. She was an entirely different character🙄

Not if you know that it's take off of "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar," which was a rallying cry for the women's liberation movement in the 1970s. It was also the title of a feminist song by Helen Reddy released the same decade. Thus, I think it's clever.

musicaltheatergeek79 Ah I see. Thanks; now I think I could enjoy that line 😅

She wasn't the first Catwoman. Julie Newmar and Lee Meriwether preceded her.
