But it isnt the worst superhero movie by a long shot.
And I wanted to make aBatmanmovie where the metaphor was aboutBatman.
It wasThe BoysbeforeThe Boys.
Catwoman / Warner Bros.
But he got exhausted reading my script.
There was a bigger problem than creative differences between Burton and Waters, though.
Warner Bros. turned theBatmanfranchise into a kid-friendly and merchandise-heavy machine with 1995sBatman Forever.

No way it was going to greenlight a risky project that appealed to adults more than kids.
To further complicate matters, another twist in the tale happened in 1997:Batman & Robin.
As theCatwomanproject took a long catnap on the studio lot, Burton and Pfeiffer departed the production.

However, the success of superhero films likeBladeandX-Mentwisted Warner Bros. arm to have another go.
However, Pitof and his collaborators changed the entire fabric of the characters being.
For one, its graphic designer Patience Phillips who becomes Catwoman here not Selina Kyle.
Then, the costume…
Yes, this is about a cat, but woof.
Aesthetical choices aside, the story doesnt aid the cause either.
(Um, isnt that every cosmetics company?)
The stakes just dont seem that high for a comic book movie.

Whats worse than this film?
Catwomanfirmly established itself as a meme-worthy movie in pop culture.

Needless to say, these superhero movies makeCatwomanlook likeCasablancain comparison.
Honestly, its worth the price of renting the movie alone.
In fact, that sounds like apurrfectidea to do right now in celebration of the films 20th anniversary.
