Despite this, there is an indication of postmortem lividity on her jaw shortly after her fall. This occurs an hour or two immediately after death.
This does not happen in living people because the heart exerts pressure on the blood that resists gravitational pull, so postmortem lividity could only happen if Selina is dead. Add to that her corpse-like, pale appearance throughout Batman Returns , and it seems logical that she might have died. In fact, when Selina returns home, she turns her apartment into a ghoulish hellscape, complete with the sign "Hell Here," and she does not seem to suffer any permanent injuries from her fall.
No broken bones, no pain, nothing other than superficial cuts. This seems impossible, though she later chalks it up to "Cats having nine lives," indicating that she lost one of hers in the immediate fall. The question surrounding Selina's survival may be found in studying similar occurrences in other media. In the '90s movie adaptation of the comic book, The Crow , protagonist Eric Draven dies, but is revived by a crow and gains superpowers. Similar to how crows are used as psychopomps in The Crow , cats have often been associated with death and the transfer of spirits from one world to the next.
Interrupting Max's meeting with Bruce Wayne, she shocked him with her miraculous survival, though feigned amnesia to put him at ease. Selina also talked with Bruce, instantly developing a mutual attraction with him. As Shreck regained his composure, she followed his orders to show Wayne out, during which they conversed about her role at Shreck's.
During an attack on the city by the Red Triangle Gang, Selina decided to seize the opportunity as cover while she ransacked Shreck's. After breaking in as Catwoman, she began ransacking the store with a newly acquired bullwhip , using it to behead the store's maniquines. When confronted by the store's guards, Selina scared them away and rigged the shop's ground floor to explode. As she fled before detonation, Catwoman discovered both Batman and the Penguin waiting outside.
When Shreck's exploded, she used the opportunity to flee to the rooftops. Finding that Batman had given chase, Catwoman confronted him, landing several blows. After he landed a blow, she pretended to surrender before relaunching her attack, knocking him off the rooftop and ensnaring him with her whip. Using the oppotunity to taunt him, Catwoman failed to notice Batman grab a blue corrosive chemical capsule from his utility belt and throw it, catching her arm.
Losing her footing, she was rescued by him and pulled to a ledge. Surprised Batman had rescued her, Catwoman became fascinated with him and began to flirt. However, she took to opportunity find weaknesses in his armor , eventually finding one above his utility belt and stabbing him in the abdomen. In response, Batman knocked her off the rooftop, causing her to fall into a truck transporting sand. Having lost "her second life", Catwoman decided to take vengeance upon the Dark Knight as well. The following day, Catwoman tracked the Penguin to his campaign building.
Having deduced he was responsible for the attacks, she waited for him in the second floor, where she proposed an alliance between them to take her revenge on Batman. Learning of Penguin's plans to kill Batman by rigging the Batmobile , Catwoman dismissed the plans, reasoning that Gotham would martyr him after death. Instead, she suggested they damaged his reputation and framed as a criminal.
Brushing off Penguin's sexual advances, she playfully threatened to eat his canary, though let it go when Penguin threatened Miss Kitty with a hidden blade from his umbrella. Their alliance secured, the two devised a new plan to frame him for kidnapping the Ice Princess and attacking civilians via remote controlling the Batmobile. On the day of the relighting the tree ceremony, Selina encountered Bruce at Gotham Plaza.
Walking and talking together, she accepted an invitation for an early dinner at Wayne Manor. Over dinner, Selina and Bruce discussed his personal life, including his previous girlfriend Vicki Vale. After he revealed his difficulty with duality, Selina began to recognize a kindred spirit in him, leading her to kiss him passionately. Eventually drawn away due to their attempts to cover up injuries, they noticed a news report informing them of the Ice Princess's kidnapping at Batman's apparent hands.
Moments after Bruce excused himself in order to suit up, Selina also decided to leave to carry out their plan. Leaving instructions with Bruce's bulter Alfred to give an excuse for her abrupt departure, she changed into her costume during her drive into Gotham. Arriving on the scene at the same time as Batman, Catwoman engaged the Dark Knight in combat.
Eventually pulling away, she forcibly dragged the Ice Princess to the building's roof. However, Penguin had engineered their hostage to fall off the building and frame Batman pushed her. After Batman was shot off the rooftop by police, Catwoman approached him and pinned him down. Continuing to flirt with him, she taunted Batman over his failure to save her and the Ice Princess, suggesting that he should retire. When Catwoman attempted to stab him in the same place previously, Batman broke from her grip and revealed he'd prepared.
Wobbly polt, ridiculous costume, outrageous kitsch… Pitof 's Catwoman ticks all the boxes of a flop. A film destroyed by critics, even before its release, for which Halle Berry received the Razzie award for Worst Actress. Hilarious and full of self-mockery, the actress still came to collect her prize, with her Oscar , obtained two years earlier. View Iframe URL. In the latest installment of Christopher Nolan 's cult saga, the actress was chosen to wear the skin-tight jumpsuit and cat ears in The Dark Knight 's.
A successful interpretation, after Halle Berry 's Catwoman attempt. Launched in , Gotham follows a young Bruce Wayne , who a few years earlier witnessed the murder of his parents on a dark street in Gotham.
The whole series is about the investigation of Inspector James Gordon Ben McKenzie , the only non-corrupt official in the tainted city, who also wants to find the perpetrator of this murder. We meet the many protagonists that will appear in the future for Batman , still in their young years, such as Selina Kyle, alias Catwoman , played by the American actress Camren Bicondova. In the comics, Selina Kyle is a tough-as-nails street kid who plays and manipulates others to steal from them.
After Pfieffer embraces her new life as Catwoman in Batman Returns , her personality falls more in line with the comic version. In the comics, Selina Kyle is inspired to create her Catwoman identity after she sees a disguised Bruce Wayne in action, soon followed by his debut as the Batman in the Year One storyline. However, Batman Returns introduced a new supernatural element to the character that was unique to the movie, though 's failed reboot of the character used a similar angle. Following her death at the hands of her corrupt boss who pushed her out of a window, she was seemingly brought back to life by a group of stray cats who began to nibble on her body.
It's not really explained how or why this happens, and it's possible she didn't actually die as her fall was slowed by a series of awnings, but it's still a unique part of her cinematic character. It's a fairly superficial character difference, but one that has really only been seen in Michelle Pfeiffer's portrayal of Selina Kyle in Batman Returns when compared to the other versions seen in live-action over the years.
In the comics, Selina Kyle is usually brunette or raven-haired, whereas in Batman Returns Pfeiffer kept her natural blonde hair color. This worked well and looked very striking when her costume received some battle damage in the climax of the movie.
The character has worn blonde wigs many times in the comics both as Selina Kyle and undercover, though every other cinematic version of the character has had dark hair. Another unique part of Batman Returns' take on Catwoman is the creation and look of her costume , which is widely regarded as one of the character's best cinematic suits.
