Well, hollywood's about to screw up YET AGAIN. They are making a Catwoman movie with Halle Berry (that in itself isn't such a bad thing) BUT. . .the character is NOT the Catwoman we're familiar with from Batman, nor does she even have anything to DO with Batman, they have totally scrapped her original storyline for a new one. . .here she is. . . (outfit looks o.k., but the mask bites!!!!)

http://superherohype.com/nextraimages/hallecat.jpg

Yeah, I heard about Halle Berry playing the role of Catwoman on Access Hollywood befo...

Heard the costume was differnet or something? Forgot...I saw it a few months ago. It was when she broke her forearm for some horror movie. Anyway, I doubt I'll see it, but had to say:

Yeah, the mask does bite...especially when it's a red X :shock:

Okay, it's not an X anymore...I looked at the actual site from the picture...that's one really weird costume.......

Wow that sux...Why Halle Berry??? I'm not saying she is bad or anything but...It just doesn't fit her...

Mmmmm...Halle Berry...*drools* Yeah, I likes the outfit but that is an ugly mask....Do you know what it's about?

yah, i heard about this.. i'm intrigued

That could either be REALLY good, or REALLY bad depending on how it is done.

How's about we move this to the movis you already know are gonna be bad thread! Sounds like a total waste of money! BUt that could just be me having a thing about Halle Barry????

Well, since the pic didn't seem to work. . .here's the link.

Oh good grief.....I reallly REALLY hope thats a joke. *sighs*

Hellboy on the other hand, looks relatively cool. :D

Well, hollywood's about to screw up YET AGAIN. They are making a Catwoman movie with Halle Berry i think it should 've been Ashley Judd better or Michelle Pfeiffer (again). they both seem perfect for catwoman ,but not halle.nothing against her at all .she's a good actress.

I heard she has to kiss Fred Durst in this movie.

Uhhhh. I pity her.

That's kind of gay... why I don't know why they couldn't call her something else if it was going to have nothing to do with Batman. They're making Batman 5 anyway.

http://www.upcomingmovies.com So far the villan is rumored to be scarecrow, but no proof as far as I know.

*agrees*

Good, I was starting to think I was the only one that didn't like the costume. I really don't think there's going to be anything good about this movie. It's basicaly come down to being Catwoman in title only.

And that thing with Fred Durst, as far as I know he has nothing to do with this movie, Limp Bizkit has a song on the Gothika soundtrack and she's in the video for it.

catwoman?....*sigh*....Halle better find a way to pull it off right...or else it'll be a flop

michelle pfieiffer said that the only way she would do it is if the original director(forgetting his name off hand) of the first two batmans was doing the movie with her. She liked his direction he would take the movie. I agree with her.

The main problem with this is that catwoman would not go out like that. She is a theif. A damn good theif. One good enough to know that barring skin like that can possibly result in leaving behind dna evidence that can connect her to the crimes. Something she would not want to do. That and it doesn't provide adequate protection. You would also think showing too much skin can make it easier to figure out who is underneath the mask(being able to see the body gives you confirmation of the body type and whatnot).

I like Halle Berry, but Ashley Judd I think could have pulled this off better. Of course, when is the last time you saw a descent movie based on a DC character? They are turning all their movies into kid movies that are made similiar to their cartoons. They have this belief that just cause the cartoons are doing well that the movies will too if they are made in the same way. What they don't seem to realize though is that the cartoons are on television stations that are on cable which the kids parents already have. They didn't purchase the cable just for the cartoons, they were just part of the package. However, the parents aren't as likely to just dish out the money for the movies. They need to target people old enough to work, which means getting back to movies such as the first Supermans or first Batmans.

They are doing this to such a level that they recently even changed a very important aspect of Superman's origin from what it is supposed to be in the comics to what it is in the show Smallville, all cause they figured more people would relate to the Smallville origin. People did notice though.

Anyways, enough rant about how much I am hating DC

that costume is just an excuse to show more skin....

i like the original version of cat woman

lovely :rolleyes:

UGH.

oh damn! It looks like Sharon Stone is in this movie.

I'm Bat--I mean....I'm CATWOMAN! *Poses*


Well I for one am very happy Halle Berry is gonna be CatWoman. But yes, let us all unleash our wrath upon Hollywood.

whoah....

*dfndfbshj*

Hmmmm none of the Catwoman backstory that would draw in Batman fans, plus the depth of character that Halle brought to her previous comic book character role playing Storm of the X-Men.

Oh yeah. . .and ummmmm, don't forget about the cowl with the ears WAY too high which makes her looks like crud.

Hmmm looks interesting....I was looking at that site..o.O Batman Begins? Oy..and they said they'd never make another one :rolleyes:

So this Catwoman is going to be more slutty and sexy I guess.

Oh, and heres the trailer http://www.blackfilm.com/20040430/features/catwomantrailer.shtml#trailer

Tim Burton.

I would like to know if Woody Allen might save the movie... *Halle Berry... nice b00bies indeed!*

hmmmm...

gimme an "L"!!! gimme an "A"!!! gimme an "M"!!! gimme an "E"!!! WHAT DOES THAT SPELL?!?!?!!??

just lame...

that is all...

Hmmm looks interesting....I was looking at that site..o.O Batman Begins? Oy..and they said they'd never make another one :rolleyes:
Actually, this new Batman movie looks like it might hit the mark. . .We have a great cast, good villain, good director. . .this is supposed to be back during the time that Wayne is still kinda new to the Batman biz. . .has chars from the animated series and might just be decent.

All I've seen are pictures of Halle Berry in that cat outfit. My brother of course, wants to see that movie. I'm curious to see it.

This movie will bl0w.

But it will open at #1 and make millions and millions.

I will go see it though. Why will I see it?

Halle Fuckin Berry!





mmmHallemmmm...

Thanks for saving me from wasting my money! ;)

Hopefully this movie is better than that outfit. *squints* It doesn't even look like her.....

Hellboy on the other hand, looks relatively cool. :D

NOTE: Hellboy sucked more than anything and wasn't overly exciting; I think it was a case of trying too hard (even though the love interest, whatever her name was, has great potential with her pretty blue super flames)

Yeah I remember hearing about this a while back....but I thought it was just a rumor....hmmm, guess not. Why did they ditch the original character's background?

you'd think that they'd learn from the X-Men movies that Halle Berry doing comic book characters is not always that great. i don't care how great she looks (not counting the awful costume), i'm passing on this one.

NOTE: Hellboy sucked more than anything and wasn't overly exciting; I think it was a case of trying too hard (even though the love interest, whatever her name was, has great potential with her pretty blue super flames)
I actually found Hellboy to be quite entertaining, it had some cool action, didn't take itself TOO seriously. . .Catwoman on the other hand looks atrocious, the outfit look like ass and the trailers don't look very encouraging. . .and the fact taht the ears look unnaturally high on the head also bugs me.

Just another example of Hollyweird's lack of original thought and reliance on boomer culture to insure a film's monetary viability. I liked Michelle Pfeffer's version, she seems to capture the edge of sanity the character required very well.

Heres a few CatWimmen:

LAME indeed.

Fighting crime in...open-toed shoes...jesus.

That's the part I don't get the most.

I look at all the 'Cat Wimmen,' and Halle just doesn't seem to fit (and NO not because the other girls are noticeably white--skin color doesn't bother me and besides I am sure there are quite a few white girls living at tanning beds these days to give a true woman of color a run for her money--but yeah back on topic). You're right DMW, the ears are too high and are also too long. Cats have short ears...these ears look more like a Jack Russel's.


http://img43.photobucket.com/albums/v132/conner/catwoman2.jpg

For some reason, this one is quite captivating...is she from the old Batman tv series?
Fighting crime in...open-toed shoes...jesus.

That's the part I don't get the most.
THE TRUTH BEHIND THE MASK: even an evil supervillian likes to be pampered once in a while - *insert girlie magazine* interviewed the cat's ME-yOW herself on clothes, fashion, and what she does in her spare time (adores pedicures and having her nails painted red)

Her toenails are....*squints* red...why red? Her entire outfit is BLACK, and then there's her bright red toenails...I don't get it

Oh yeah: I might have missed it, but does anyone know what the movie's storyline is?

Yes, Thats Julie Newmar from the 60's TV show. There were 3 different actresses in the series. She was the first and the best I think. She also guest-starred on the original Star Trek.
http://img43.photobucket.com/albums/v132/conner/CatwomanJN.jpg

Then came Eartha Kitt. She was ok but didn't have the same chemistry with Batman I think. She had the voice down puRRRfect however.
http://img43.photobucket.com/albums/v132/conner/cateartha.jpg

And finally Lee Merriweather played the role in the original moive based on the TV show.

I just hope the new flick isn't too politically correct. I won't judge it until I see it.

Just as long as they aren't prehensile ears and thats a cyberbrain add-on

AIEEEE lol

that mask totally sucks. halle is a great as storm, but theyre pushing it with this.

FYI: A&E is airing on Wednesday July 21st a Biography about Catwoman. Its at 8pm EST.

Andy

i'm not seeing this!! it looks horrible!! and thats not what catwoman is supposed to look like... this is a movie for the guys... :D

I wanna see it- well, the trailer i saw for it looks neat, anyawy. Whether or not Halle fits into a catwoman sorta thing. I like the upper-thigh thingies she has- the cat slashes in it and stuff- i never noticed that before.

well it looks okay but i wouldnt go to the theatres and watch it though..i was so excited to watch spiderman II but i was bored of it after like 45 minutes of it..it was so predictable..ohh well..

Yea it looks okay to me too...I won't be seeing it however. Judging from the trailors they're using WAY too much CGI. And she looks goofy to me too haha.

I saw the preview to it while I was watching Spidey and about had to vomit.
I'm sorry, but why can't DC and Marvel perhaps have a meeting about how DC movies have gone to SUCK!(well ok, there's been some movies by Marvel that haven't been up to par, but...) Oh yeah, that's because Warner Brothers has a hand in what they did to the Bats, just like they've ruined practically everything that I've liked when they took it to the big screen, except Harry Potter.

I have been a fan of Bats ever since I was a little girl-that Chick isn't anything like the catwoman's I've seen, and I probably have seen at one point every episode of the Original Series. I was pleased with what Tim Burton did with the character. And I've seen every eppy of the 90s Batman cartoons..I mean, I never read a comic book of Bat's but otherwise I am a big big fan. Even was a fan of that Birds of Prey show, even though that was a bit out there.

It's like what Joel Schumacher did to Bats, and it's bad enough that he's directing the Phantom of the Opera musical moive........*sends flaming bags of poo his way*

I mean.....it's just made for the men anyway, this movie. *shrugs*

I heard from someone that they made the costume try to fit the image of a real cat... the way you see their bodies move. I still think the costume looks horrible. And yes, Brian the ears are alarmingly too big. I like her character in X-Men, but I'm not too impressed with the previews for this one. Michelle and Sharon were the best catwomen. (Nothing against Halley) She's a good actress, but I agree that this role doesn't fit her.

Christina

hm I will probably see it b/c catwoman was an idol of mine for awhile hahah when I was like 12 or whenever it was that Michelle Pheifer played her. I thought Michelle Pheifer was the all-time best catwoman she fit the role purrfectly hahaha sorry that was such a bad joke. Anyway I'll probably see it just b/c it's catwoman. Oh and I think this catwoman is supposed to be more like the Catwoman of the somewhat recent comic books of the same title and not necessarily the same one as in the Batman shows (which is confusing and I'm not quite sure how to describe it..I read a few of those comics several years ago and she WAS different from the one in Batman Returns and such)

i wanna see this movie. it looks ok. did u know an aussie designed the catwoman costume?? i read that halles pants kept spliting during the filming

The only thing that makes Halle's Catwoman seem to even be anywhere close is A: she has a whip, B: she's called Catwoman C: she has a costume. Now here's a list of What makes her NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE to being the real Catwoman. A: Catwoman's real name is (and to my knowledge has always been) Selina Kyle (Halle's character is name Patience Price) B: Catwoman lives and works out of Gotham City and has many run ins and has even had a continuing love affair with Batman/Bruce Wayne (Patience price does not live in Gotham, matter of fact i doubt there IS a gotham city OR a Batman as far as this movie's concerned.) C: Selina Kyle's Catwoman is a cat Burglar (patience is a girl who gets killed and brought back to life to reap revenge on those who killed her.) Now some people will even go so far as to say well. . .Halle's Catwoman is black and Selina Kyle is white. . .i aint going there, to me that is a non issue. Also Patience has super powers given to her by the cat or god or catgod or whatever the hell it is that resurrects her (Selina is just a very fit and accomplished cat burglar.) Now I know they took some liberties with the Catwoman character in Batman Returns, but at least they kept the majority of it true to the character. Halle's Catwoman is "Catwoman In NAME Only" This movie looks like it's gonna be dreadful. . .I'll pass.

Hmm... I'm not really up to see this movie, but since Sharon Stone's in it... I might as well see it :) I love Sharon Stone!

The Catwoman movie is Satan.

REPENT!

that movie looks bad. really bad. But you have to admit Halle Berry looks damn good in it.

aL: I have to completely disagree with you there, I think Halle looks absolutely hideous in the Catwoman film. That suit... *shudders*

Even though think the Catwoman film looks absolutely horrendous, I can't help but go and see it, lol. I am too big a Catwoman fan to ignore this movie, no matter how crappy it is.

On rottentomatoes.com, it got a 3.3/10, with 8 positive reviews and 58 negative ones :eek:

Same for Yahoo Movies, it got like...a D+ average. And for user reviews it was like a B- or something.

Looks pretty bad I guess...I'll wait for that White Castle movie instead of seeing this one :p

oh how that "click to hear me purr" thing on yahoo.com annoys me.

the movie looks awful, even daredevil looked more realistic than catwoman hopping around. if the easter bunny and daredevil had a baby, catwoman would be that baby.

i would've never noticed how bad the ears look without Teh D M W.
reminds me of bart simpson.

i don't know what the hell i'm talking about.

Ya I don't think it'll be good. *dramatic scene* WHY HALLE! WHY THIS ROLE?! *end dramatic scene* I was super shocked to hear how they changed her whole name, not being anywhere NEAR Batman. Damn you movie makers for changing the original Catwoman!

thats a real shame too.. that movie couldve been really good, but yet again hollywood fucked it all up, wrong director, crappy screenplay..

i guess spiderman is one of the few superhero success stories..

Is it possible that this Catwoman is just another superhero with the same name?

Is it possible that this Catwoman is just another superhero with the same name?

*shrugs* Who knows... but the thing that bothers me the most is that she's not a superhero! She's a villian! So if they make her a superhero I will just be on a rampage of saying "WTF?!"

that movie looks bad. really bad. But you have to admit Halle Berry looks damn good in it.

No. She doesn't.

The costume looks liek a rejected bondage outfit.

for those not in the know:

Catwoman is not a supervillian. She is not a superhero either. In fact, she is not a super anything. I am not sure if the current origin of the Catwoman is the same as the original(that being from 1940), but the one I read was in the mini series that came out before the ongoing series.

She was a prostitue that was mistreated by men and, in particular, her pimp. He beat her, and while in the hospital a cop gave her a card with a number on it. She called it and the guy she met taught her how to fight. Then how to use a wip. She was given the cat costume by her pimp to wear while with a customer that wanted her to wear it. She then would put it on and feel impowered and she finally fought back. She protected the other prostitutes that couldn't protect themselves and such. She was not a hero though, in that she did not try to save the pimp when he was falling(he kidnapped her sister a nun). Batman had an apperance. Ever since she first was in the batman books(Batman #1, also first joker and robin), she was a thief that Batman had a thing for(even recently he revealed his identity as Bruce Wayne to her and they had a short relationship).

She, last time I read any of the catwoman books, was a vigilante in her neighborhood, but her identity is not that great kept of a secret. The police know who she is, Batman does, as well as a lot of other people.

If you want to categorize her she is in the same area as The Punisher, she does good, but also bad.

That said, the Halle Catwoman is not the one from the books. The one from the books is Selina Kyle, not Patience Price. I wish that the rumors of Ashley Judd possibly playing the role would have turned out true. Michelle Pfiefer said she would do Catwoman, but only if Tim Burton was attached as director.

The two good things I see coming out of this horror of a movie is maybe it will teach Halle some humility and get her to realize that she is better off playing the role of Storm and being a team player, and also that the people currently making the Batman movie will have more inspiration to listen to comic readers and keep the movie true to the comic and not make it campy like the last two batman movies.

I feel sad that I actually went to watch Hellboy yet won't watch this(at least not anytime soon). Hellboy sucked, as did League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Ultimately Catwoman is a b-list comic character, not a-list like Superman, Batman, Spiderman and such. What got her enough of a following to warrant a movie was the comic fans, so when a movie was made that ignored their input that cannot result in anything good. The problem is that the producer, in an interview I read, just didn't seem to care what the comic book readers thought. She had a movie she wanted to make and a message she wanted to get out there. So they alienated the fans that made the movie possible, smart hollywood. They did the 1980's thing of believing that showing skin is a good substitute for a quality script.

Scatwoman, I say!

I want to pop her helmet.

']No. She doesn't.

The costume looks liek a rejected bondage outfit.

LOL that just made my day. because it's true. lol

i would have loved to see michelle pfieffer in that movie. meh. i will probably go and see it anyway :rolleyes:

']No. She doesn't.

The costume looks liek a rejected bondage outfit.

LMAO!

Looks like she's about to have a night out on the corner.

It's a slutty Catwoman costume. Psst.

But, she still sexah lol. :p

I just wanna say I have no interest in seeing this movie at all. After seeing I Robot this movie would seem to suck even more than probably already does.

I just came back from seeing it and the movie was actually good. It certainly wasn't a waste of my money. And if you pay close attention to the movie you might even see Michelle Phifer somewhere around there :D
