canceled a Batman vs. Superman film scheduled for 2004, the studio decided to quickly produce Catwoman as replacement, starring Halle Berry. Berry chose to be involved with the film after the cancellation of Jinx, a James Bond spin-off featuring her character Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson from Die Another Day (2002).
Halle Berry played a version of Catwoman who was not Selina Kyle in he stand-alone Catwoman movie. Anne Hathaway played Catwoman in the third Christian Bale movie The Dark Knight Rises. And Zoe Kravitz played Selina Kyle/Catwoman in The Batman, opposite Robert Pattinson.
The character has made live-action appearances in the Batman television series (1966–68), its film adaptation Batman (1966), Batman Returns (1992), Catwoman (2004), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Gotham (2014–19), and The Batman (2022).
Catwoman was first portrayed in the 1960s series by Julie Newmar in the first two seasons. Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt replaced when she was unavailable for the movie and season three. Marilyn Watson was Newmar's stunt double.
All hail Michelle Pfeiffer, by far the best Catwoman we've ever had. The three-time Oscar nominee played Selina Kyle in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, introducing a welcome fantasy element into her story.
Halle Berry is an American film actress known for roles in Catwoman, Monster's Ball, X-Men and its sequels, and more. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1966.
Jim Carrey as Edward Nygma / The Riddler: A former Wayne Enterprises employee, Edward resigns after his newest invention is personally rejected by Bruce. He becomes the villainous Riddler, leaving riddles and puzzles at scenes of crime.
While "Catwoman" was undoubtedly a major setback in Halle Berry's career, especially coming at the peak of her success following her Oscar win for "Monster's Ball," it didn't ruin her career. The film was met with scathing reviews and mocked Berry's involvement, but she embraced it as a learning experience.
Also in 2020, she starred as one of the leads in Viena and the Fantomes. Kravitz portrayed Selina Kyle / Catwoman, now in live action, in director Matt Reeves' The Batman, which was released on March 4, 2022, to critical and commercial success, grossing over $700 million internationally.
Angelina Jolie will not play Catwoman for two reasons, she wouldn't want the role and Warner Brothers would not want her for the role. MTV news interviewed Angelina Jolie around the time that Christopher Nolan was casting the Catwoman role for "The Dark Knight Rises." Her response?
Catwoman has some advantages over Batman but she's never been able to conclusively defeat him in a fight. More often than not, he let her get away because of his feelings for her. Catwoman is good but she can't hang with Batman giving it his all.
Anne Hathaway took home second place (24%) for her portrayal of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. Eartha Kitt took third for her work as the "Princess of Plunder" in the third and final season of the 1967 Batman series alongside Adam West.
It is then revealed that the Joker's real name is "Jack Oswald White." Martha then shares that she visited the Flashpoint universe's version of Jack Oswald White, discovering him to be a struggling family man supporting his wife and a child as a janitor at Wayne Casino.
It might be hard to believe, but Catwoman had been around for ten years before fans ever learned her true name. This issue, which came out in 1950, was the very first time that Catwoman was revealed to be Selina Kyle.
Pfeiffer starred in The Russia House (1990) and Frankie and Johnny (1991). In 1992, she played Catwoman in Batman Returns and received her third Academy Award nomination for Love Field, which were succeeded by performances in The Age of Innocence (1993) and Wolf (1994).
Who was supposed to play Catwoman before Michelle Pfeiffer?
Annette Bening was the actress originally cast as Catwoman in Tim Burton's Batman Returns – Michelle Pfeiffer only took over the role when Bening had to drop out at the last minute, due to pregnancy.
