Catwoman is a friggin' terrible movie. Yeah, okay... I'm breaking the general narrative flow of non-biased objectivity that is preferred on most wikis by interjecting such a negative comment, but I think its been universally agreed upon that Catwoman is one of the most uproariously and unintentionally bad pieces of crap to ever slime its way onto celluloid. Seriously, the only entertainment value in this chunk of skank is mocking it after kicking back a few beers. And trust me, you WILL need copious amounts of alcohol to get through this.
Catwoman was directed by a guy who calls himself Pitof. No surprise that he used an alias. I would too if I was responsible for this cinematic turd. The script required a team of four writers to make it suitably crappy which includes Theresa Rebeck, John D. Brancato, Michael Ferris and John Rogers. It was produced by Village Roadshow Pictures and Warner Bros. and released through Warner theatrically in the United States on July 23rd, 2004. The film is (and I cannot stress this enough) LOOSELY based on the supervillain/anti-hero comic book character Catwoman, who is typically seen causing problems for everyone's favorite Dark Knight detective, Batman as seen in comic books published by DC Comics. In most sources, the Catwoman character is actually a woman named Selina Kyle, who is a cat burglar, but in this gem, her name is Patience Phillips and she is played by actress Halle Berry. For shame Halle. For shame. [5]
