Michelle Pfeiffer is the reason why Batman Returns was my favourite Batman movie. To see her play the role as Catwoman and have an affair with Batman was a dream growing up as a kid. She deserves an Oscar award for the Best Catwoman. Pfeiffer is the hands down winner out of all the cats!
Michelle's portrayal of the Catwoman is the best by far. She is an actress picked to play the role, and her character might not be that close to the comics but she still gave her best. and the best so far! the drama, the darkness, the insanity that went into it was spectacular! puuuurrfection!
I think Anne played a more "realistic" Catwoman. Obviously, if you prefer the more cat-like portrayal then Michelle wins it everytime but in my opinion Anne did it great and gave Catwoman the update she needed.
Michelle Pfeiffer IS Catwoman. Not only did she perform brilliantly, she made that grand transition into the role. Then you have her really incredible chemistry with Michael Keaton, man, just a brilliant performance. Anne played a good Catwoman, but played her more as a super spy chick than Catwoman to me. I think what Burton did was elevate the game by offering a fresh new take on Catwoman that still holds up well today. No Nolan hate at all, I just prefer Burton's Batman films by far.
Actually, Hathaway said her performance was based on the actress Hedy Lamarr (who was an inspiration for the original comic version of Catwoman in the 1940s). The costume was based on the Newmar/Meriwether/Kitt costume from the show.
I like Michelle Pfeiffer a lot. She have the looks of an angel. And when the movie Gangstas Paradice was coming to Sweden where i live very long ago. All we good looking good guys (about 21yrs old all seven boys) whent out to watch the film. Some of my old friends still have the film LadyHawke in their bookshelf. I think Michelle playes the role of Catwoman very well. She has special humor like a guy i once met with the same kind of snake kind of eyes.
Michelle Pfeiffer next to Eartha Kitt were the BEST Catwomen portrayal. Michelle's adaptation was really amazing and made me enjoy the character far more. Halle Berry and that Hathaway disaster were just GOD awful junk! Don't care for the new Batman movies except for Tim Burton's two films...after that it just stopped being fun,creative nor inspirational...
Funny, Hathaway based her character off Julie Newmar, says her. And yet I see Pfeiffer resembling her more in terms of acting and attitude, and I still say Michelle is the best!
I can't say whether Anne or Michelle was better as Catwoman. I guess the best way for me to describe it is that they were both amazing in different ways. For the universe that Tim Burton was creating, Michelle was WAY better than Anne would've been. But for the universe that Chris Nolan was creating, Anne was WAY better than Michelle would've been. Yeah, she was different, but so was Bruce Wayne and so was Lucius Fox and so was Alfred and it really upsets me to see people compare any of them.
I know, right? Plus I didn't feel like there was enough of a struggle to bring her to the 'good side'. Catwoman's meant to be a burglar, through and through, and in The Dark Knight trilogy it was just a bit of "I'm an evil burglar. You're a superhero who would normally arrest me? I'll help you then." She wasn't Catwoman, she was ___woman.
Anne Hathaway was closer to the source material, more kickass, and she was hot. Catwoman is not a crazy schizo secretary who was tossed out a window and revived by cats. She's a master thief who travels through rich social circles and owns them while helping those she really thinks need it. Anne Hathaway IS Catwoman.
Actually, looking at the actual comic book source material, cartoons etc, apart from a few cosmetic differences (such as the lack of whip) Hathaway's Catwoman was much nearer the mark. It's not that I don't like Batman Returns, I do (admittedly not anywhere near as much as TDK trilogy), but in terms of characterisation compared to the comic counterparts, all the characters in that film are WAAAAAAAY off.
she was really a good one but the movie is not cartoony like all the other ones before the dark knight trilogy, like the joker was a psycho not a prankster but he was great. Anne Hathaway plays the more realistic theif which she is soooo good at she calls herself cat like and puts on a costume just like batman so please so something else that u need to get off ur chest
3:53 she didn't even wield "that whip", Hathaway's Catwoman (or should I say Selina Kyle, as she was not mentioned or called even once in Dark Knight Rises "Catwoman") was plain and just out of character. She was good, but she felt more like a new character than an actual Catwoman. NOTHING was feline about her.
The Catwoman of the comics did NOT have superhuman abilities. That nonsense was popularised by that awful Burton film. Hathaway's version of the character was much closer to the comics than Pfeiffer's. Selina's a cat burglar with a cat themed costume, she doesn't have cat powers, she's not a frumpy secretary who snaps, and she's not a raving lunatic like the one in Returns.
Many people say that. But there's no a "realistic" Catwoman. Catwoman is a fiction characther with superhuman abilities. If you remove this you have just a girl on a leather suit. Where's the cat in that?

she will always be the best catwoman
Michelle Pfeiffer is a classy lady and an enormously talented and beautiful actress. Her Catwoman portrayal was hands down the best.
Michelle Pfeiffer aged SO well. She looks fantastic!
It will take someone extraordinary to wield a whip again like Michelle did in 'Batman Returns'. The pure definition of iconic.
Amazing beautiful

Anne Hathaway IS Catwoman.

This is ironic because both actresses have played Catwoman in a Batman movie
Nah I like Michelle Way better!
ELVIRA!
she was really a good one but the movie is not cartoony like all the other ones before the dark knight trilogy, like the joker was a psycho not a prankster but he was great.

you know she lying Charlize Theron would kill the role

if u don't have that whip and those cat claws, are u even catwoman?
she should honestly llay selina's mom
Anne was better.
Then the comic sucked!...Catwoman with no cat powers sucked, sucks and always will suck.
