Wanna see a pretty ridiculous photo of Halle in the CATWOMAN outfit'
Hey folks, Harry here... GuyFromOhio sent this in, and folks... this looks like the most ridiculously awful lame-ass attempt at a CatWoman costume in history. Like something out of some bargain basement member ribber magazine. Look at that? Are they serious? For real? Look at that. Look how terrible those cat ears look on this thing... The ludicrous straps and crap. I was actually kinda looking forward to this, because I love Pitof's VIDOCQ, but this "Publicity" shot shows a complet 180, from the brilliant design work from VIDOCQ or his earlier collaborations with Caro & Jeunet. Meanwhile, if you go over to SuperHeroHype.Com you'll find out that Captain America is finally out of legal woes, and that there's some pretty rotten ideas about The Human Torch's costume going around. Sigh....
Mr. Knowles,
I don't know if this would constitute anything cool, but I'll try anyway.
It's the first pic of Halle as Catwoman. Personally I think it's horrible. Seriously....ripped leather pants and belt thingies strapped to her?
I found this at www.superherohype.com
Later,
GuyFromOhio

That is, hands down, the WORST superhero outfit I've ever seen! It looks like cheap, $2 hooker lingerie! That can't be for real, even the WB can't be that stupid!

what a stupid costume. Are those sandals? How is catwoman supposed to fight crime and scale walls with sandals? How could a re-animated corpse design this?
Oh yeah, she's a GRAPHIC DESIGNER. What a lame excuse for her having a specially made superhero costume.
Oh and her name is Patience Price. I hate that too. -

You have to be shitting me!!!!!!!!! Exposed toes? What the fuck?
by big bad clone
Holy dry humping Mary! Those toes just jump out of that horrendous mess of a costume. This thing makes the Nightman and M.A.N.T.I.S. costumes look positively genius. Actually I wonder where they put all that weave we saw in the photos earlier today. Maybe she gets a Felicity-esque haircut after the egyptian cat give her super cat "carefree attitude" powers.

WTF? You have GOT to be kidding! This has GOT to be a joke! ...WTF????

What is she gonna go by? Pat?! Pattie the Catwoman?! This is some bad alliteration.

I hope that picture isn't real.
Hollywood fucked-up Elektra's costume and now this.....
I pray it's just a PhotoShopped experiment. -
1. Halle is so, so fine. 2. I think whoever designed this costume was banking on just that- Halle's looks to carry it. The mask is a joke. They really need to fix it up, big time. 3. I am digging the outfit from the neck down though. 4. Halle is so, so fine...

now that this is confirmed real and from TIME magazine...
by mr brownstone
where Berry is quoted as saying the costume is "very bare, very urban, very downtown," I would just like to add "very shitty, very lame" and a "very, very BAD idea". Vidoq was way overrated anyway. Gah!
-
Is it just me or are Warner Brothers the most useless dumbest most lame ass fuckwit no talent tosspots ever. Without the Matrix franchise the studio is nothing and they know it. That costume looks cheap and tacky. U got Halle's fine ass in leather.....what could go wrong, pretty much everything so far. It's gonna suck more ass than DullDevil.
-
Halle Berry is giving the people at X-Men shit, wanting more cash and bitching that her character is too lame and whatnot, and instead she's going to dress in that? Seriously, this better be a photoshop joke, for her career's sake...
-
And, yes, it's catshit. Terrible stuff. I've seen strippers with better outfits. By the way, Harry, Warners fired Pitof's production design team because they thought they were too European in their sensibilities. Or so I've read at IGN FilmForce.
-
That looks NOTHING LIKE HALLE BERRY THATS SO FAKE!!!! IS AICN NOW LIKE THE ENQUIRER?
-
If her character is a designer, maybe this is just one of many failed designs for the movies possible costume design scene where Halles character is at her drawing board trying to design the ONE outfit for her.
I could almost see her imagining herself in situations dressed in her various get-ups with all sorts of negative quirky things happening to her due to her poorly designed costume.
Who knows it might make a pretty good comedy. -
How stupid are you people? That is obviously not Halle Berry and not The Catwoman costume. I never get why comic book and sci-fi geeks believe everything they say and read on the internet. I once went into a Star Trek chat room and said I saw on the news that William Shatner just died. There was at least ten people watching CNN for the next three hours. Don't believe everything you see and you editors at AICN really need to take a better look at what gets submitted to you so you don't post some cheese ass picture from a dominatrix magazine. You just make yourselves look stupid.
-
I knew that movie was gonna suck! good for halle, shes worthless.
the whole catwoman movie is stupid.
She should team up with Thomas jane in his stupid bargain basement costumes.
right now jerry bruckheimer is saying "see nipples in costumes ARE important!" -

by commando cody
Someone above nailed this perfectly. This photo looks like the cover of a bad porno rental. In fact, I think I saw a girl "modeling" this very costume down on Hollywood and Vine last week. I'm telling you, Warner Bros. is SERIOUSLY at war with DC Comics and is SERIOUSLY looking to kill that division -- or at the very least they're out to kill any notion that comic book movies could be cool and financially profitable. Or maybe these studio suit morons actually think "Hey, those Marvel movies make money! Let's be hip by doing something in the totally OPPOSITE direction. I bet we can set our own trends with all our Warner divisions working together! Hey, we're Warner Bros. We have SYNERGY!" Yeah...right. Too bad these jerks don't have a CLUE, either.
-
You guys are idiots. All of you! Yes the mask looks bad. but that is it. Cat Woman has always been a dominatix. This is just the next step and let me just say, YUM!
-
And not the good kind! First, Berry's done lost her damn mind. Second, my low expectations have plummeted through the sub-basement. What is this crap?
-
...and was on Access Hollywood today. HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP. This is hands-down the WORST comic book movie costume EVER. Has Warners learned nothing since BATMAN & ROBIN? Apparently not. And BTW, don't forget that this entire production is an outright fraud -- they're just _calling_ it CATWOMAN, even though Halle's character IS NOT CATWOMAN, but rather some lame new made-up character named Patience Price (what?!) who has no basis in (or connection to) the comic character. Which is basically saying, "Hey, why don't we just betray the core audience of this comic property by misrepresenting the film as something it's not." Seriously, this is like doing a Batman movie where Batman ain't Bruce Wayne, or a Superman movie where Superman ain't Clark Kent / Kal-El. Are they on crack? DEATH TO WARNER BROTHERS!!! This shit has just gone way too fucking far.
-
wouldn't u?

I don't think she has any hair to hide under the small mask. It all fell out WHEN SHE DIED.

What the hell?!? Great -- Warner Bros. screws the pooch AGAIN!!
by big dumb ape
Let me get this straight: you have Halle Berry who is a total BABE. She can act and perform athletically onscreen and has a body to drool over. She's in the X-MEN movies where she looks great in tight leather pants or her tight X-leather costume that accents her body...so you're Warner Bros. and you think "Hey, we have a female superhero named Catwoman. And she dresses in tight leather TOO. In fact, she was in that second Batman movie where we had Michelle Pheiffer running around in an outfit that was so great we had guys all over America creaming in their beds at night." So, of course, being the numbskulls that is Warner Bros., the NEXT decision you make is to cast Berry and CHANGE ALL THAT. What a bunch of studio losers. Can I work at Warner Bros. now? Because I swear the ONLY qualification for working at WB must be that you have NO taste and NO talent and NO vision for anything that is actually "good." Wait, I guess that does rule me out...
-
Did that man have vision, or what?
-
Retro, that was quality!!
-
i'm not saying thats not the design for the costume, but that is not halle berry wearing "it" look above the right toes, see the hard edge. look at the strap across the torso that goes bottom left to top right, utterly wrong position. check out edges to the right. mask: look below eyes? look if i need to point out anymore youre an idiot
-
Yeah, I know I'm sounding like your stereotypical angry talkbacker, but you know what? I am pissed off. It hurts me as a fan that Marvel knows it's audience and treats them with respect by giving them good, well thought out films like Spider-Man and X2 and then the fucking boneheads at Warners come up with the same old lame-ass "Batman & Robin" style shit as before.
Hey Warner Brothers! Remember when you too Batman the same route you're taking Catwoman, and the fucking films sucked?! Here's a piece of advice - Don't do that again. People will not go see a sucky movie like this if they know what they're getting. -
and yes technically i offered no "proof" but my delightful banter combined with the picture itself should be proof enough. hey, i'm alright. who am i talkin to here?
-
Are loansharks after his ass? The guy is a fucking genius and while the picture of Halle is plain disgusting the most depressing this about this "film" for me is that apparently Pitof has sold his soul or lost his mind or both. If it was some video-clip hack directing this I would just shrug it off and ignore it. With Pitof on board I just can't do that. They fired his design team. Why didn't he just quit the project? Why, why, why??? This CATWOMAN flick will give BATTLEFIELD EARTH and BATMAN & ROBIN a run for their ... um ... money? It will also make Jean-Pierre Jeunet's (with whom Pitof worked in the past) ALIEN: RESURRECTION look like a great film. Is Pitof trying to beat Jeunet in some bizarre contest which one of them can make the worse film in Hollywood? I hope that after this film BOMBS horribly and ruins many careers Pitof will just go back to France and make his own films.
-
okay, not diggin' the helmet part of the mask, but the rest of it works very, very nicely as far as I'm concerned. And those of you on this thread who are acting like it's the end of civilization as we know it... get over yourself. That means you too Harry. Trust me, dude, I'm not gonna make fat jokes but you ain't got the best fashion sense going. No, it's not the Burton movie catwoman outfit. But that one looked pretty damn wrong too to me, coming from the "Alan Davis sexy pinup girl purple dress" style catwoman who was my personal favorite. In fact, I'd venture to say that if you took off that helmet and made it more of a domino mask, I'd prefer this look to the Michelle P. version (but not, of course, to the definitive Julie Newmar version... though Lord, wouldn't she have looked great in this outfit back then)
-
AFAIK. Look, I want this to be a joke just like everybody else but it's the real deal.
-
...but Halle Berry won the Oscar and the studios went for the "hot star." And Sharon Stone's the villainess? Hot off of her trimphant box office return in "Cold Creek Manor?" And the casting's changed on the hero, what, three times now? Remember how exciting the "Batman" franchise was way back at the beginning? Do you feel any of that now, with THIS?
-
Pff, this ain't her costume; it's the S&M outfit I got from the Castle Boutique adult store last Halloween for my girlfriend................................................................PS: All you lamers posting FIRST! four or five posts in need a life. I mean seriously, you can't even do that right.
-
Come on, this is clearly a fake (or at the very least a pre-production sketch and there are probably quite a few of those).
Why do I think that?
First off, it just looks bad, amaturishly bad, in fact. Secondly, remember that Halle Berry was the person who made sure that Storm's hair in X-Men 2 didn't look as bad as it did in the first film (and she stood up to Bryan Singer, who strikes me-from what I have heard-as a bit of a bully).
Thirdly, and most importantly, Halle Berry was first offered Jennifer Lopez's role in Gigli, and she turned that down, and look how that ended up.
The woman is obviously too clever to let anyone make a fool of her, so I am quite confident that this costume is nothing to worry about. -

I was starting to feel hopeful about the movie with Sharon Stone coming on as the villain, Benjamin Bratt as the love interest or whatever and Frances Fucking McDormand in the movie in some capacity.
The I saw this picture. :-(
Remember when the first pics of the Spidey costume came out? They were heavily photoshopped too. This is no different: an enhanced promo image probably composited from a few shots with some details added digitally.
But its legit. -
This looks like Victoria Secret meets Catwoman meets Mickey Mouse Club meets Charlie's Angels meets Let's Play Dressup piece of incredible offensive crap. Michelle Pfeiffer is probably laughing her head off at this ridiculous costume. It's so terrible it can't be real, it just can't be.
-
real bad, like captain america bad.
but let us not forget the hubub over the X-men costumes when they were first seen. And while Pitof's last film Vidocq looked good it wasnt that great of a movie. it just looked super cool. but thats it. he may have been the visual effects supervisor on juenet and caro's films but Vidocq's story and pace were off.
but then he does run circles around what hollywood considers directors
(West, Paul Anderson (not PT), DuBont)
so lets all calm down and wait to see how it looks on screen.
i mean come on Daredevil had a good costume but was a mediocre film.
-
The only things i like in this are the gloves. But what is with the intentional holes in the pants? Who says it is fashionable to have cleverly placed holes in one's clothing? The only group i can think of is American Eagle. They put holes in their clothes before they sell them.
-
Just don't let her waddle her fat ass like she did in "Die Another Day."
-
That is so fucking gay as shit!
The person who designed this and all the people who agreed to use should be shot in the freakin' balls! -
...Swear to god...Welles drew this in '45 as he was getting a hummer during an Around The World In 80 Days rehearsal...Either way, Halle is smokin, p-Shop or not...One last thing, McWeeney's pimping of the Greek Broad who's writing Wonder Woman is pathetic. This is the same chick who created Birds of Prey...
-
Not only Time, but also ET is running the picture. The reason its not Halle Berry is because models are always used merely for displaying the costume (first photos of X-Men). I'm not surprised something this crappy was churned out with the utter desperation in which DC is trying to churn out films without regard for consequences of their haste. No worries though, its not like all the hopes of DC fans rested on this particular film. Batman will rock with Nolan at the helm.
-
It will be so fun watching this movie completely flop in every way. God this is hilarious.

by industrykiller
Any company that fucks up good things so consistently deserves to take the beating they are taking. They are the heroin addict of film studios. Completely and utterly self destructive. I can't wait to see them fail with this, it helps me sleep at night knowing that I could run a massive studio far more effeciently than the morons who are getting payed millions of dollars to do it.
-
What a god-awful mess that costume is. I think people are saying it's fake because they REALLY, REALLY want it to be a fake. After all, let's face it...if it's real, and that's supposed to be Halle Berry as Catwoman, that whole segment of the Batman franchise is completely down the crapper before it even gets to the screen. I mean, come on! That costume doesn't even look CLOSE to anything seen in the DC comics appearances of Catwoman, or even the Michelle Pfeiffer outfit from BATMAN RETURNS, which was a whole lot better. That costume was damn sexy, even though you didn't see nearly as much skin.
And don't get on my ass about "It's not supposed to be like DC Comics' Catwoman". Look, if it's called Catwoman, that's what it should be based on, case closed, period, f*ck you. "Patience Price"? Are you freaking kidding me with that name?!? Come on, Warner Bros! Get with it, already!
Geez, that didn't even look like Halle in the picture! Though, with that ridiculous outfit on, it's hard to tell!
Awful, just pathetically awful. God help Halle Berry and the people who invested time and money in this piece of junk. Boy, are they gonna be sorry. -
Halle Berry?!? As the Catwoman? Okay, she's sexy and all, but I don't see her as the same kind of sexy as Michelle Pfeiffer made her Catwoman. Pfeiffer added that feline element, that slinkiness that just made your skin tingle for all the right reasons (at least, it did for me). I just would've picked someone different for the role. Angelina Jolie would've done a great job with the character...and she's got the body for it.
Like I said, Halle is a beautiful and sexy woman, but I just can't associate her with the role of the Catwoman. And, it's not a racial thing, either...it's just a matter of who's better suited for that role...and I don't think it's Halle Berry. Sorry. -

by margot_tenenbaum
...and Warners decides to change the costume to somthing out of BARB WIRE? Or a 1983 Motley Crue video? Or a Sci-Fi Channel original movie? Or Daredevil? Unbelievable. The Pfeiffer Catwoman costume was a style A-bomb -- nothing like it in movies before, and it's why we have the Matrix/X-Men folks in fetishwear today. RIPPED PANTS! UN-BE-LIEVABLE!
-
Oh dear Lord, this is bad. Laughingly bad. Remember THE BLACK SCORPION? M.A.N.T.I.S.? This is in that category. If you're a shareholder for the WB, you should be mad, because it appears that this company is purposely trying to self-destruct. I mean, who the hell is gonna see this? The costume Michelle Pfeiffer wore in BATMAN RETURNS was perfect. Mark my words, this will be next year's GIGLI.

by steal_dragon
Do you know what bugs me the most. Is that they changed Elektra's costume in the movie because they said it looked to degrading and when they make a Wonder Woman movie, they would probably change it into a black catsuit. I find this costume more degrading than both of those costumes combined. P.S., why is Halle Berry doing this. I understand Ashley Judd. Every movie she made sucked, but Halle. Just because she has an Oscar, doesn't mean that she can't mess up her movie career, until it is so fucked up that she is later doing adult diaper commercials. Cuba Gooding Jr messed up his. Whoopi Goldberg messed up hers. Kim Basinger and Sally Field screwed up their careers and they are all academy award winners. I guess Halle will soon join the list as Hollywoods idiots.
-
Y'know, just the phrase "Halle Berry as Catwoman" was enough to sound like a bad idea to me....
Dont get me wrong, I think she's an underrated actress, and better than most make her out to be. But gimme a break man, she just doesn't need to be anywhere NEAR this fucking movie. Hell, that idiot in that fake COSTUME shouldn't be anywhere ner this movie either....
(or the dork with photshop who made it...) -
I'll bet she rides a motorcycle in the movie, a product-placed Harley Davidson. I bet she'll be really tough and ass-kicky. Catwoman is a fucking cat-burglar, WB, even if she's not Selina Kyle.
-
If this is really what the costume is going to look like then I would say that this is not a family film. As a matter of fact, it's probably not one you want to go to the movies to see -- it's more a rent it on DVD where you can watch it in the privacy of your own home...with the hand lotion close by. Oh come on! Like you dorks didn't think it!
-
...bad concept, bad casting, etc. But, this costume is just re-goddam-diculous. I hope this is a hoax, but there is no way this movei can be good.

So it MUST be real.But really,who gives a shit.This fucker is doomed.

The first instinct of so many here is to claim the pic is fake just because it looks bad. The photo is REAL, folks. Just accept it. Here is the link to the text of the Time article posted online today: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101031006-490703,00.html
-
That can't be real, because if it is ... when it's released, CATWOMAN will single handedly kill any more green-lit superhero movies for years to come. I sure hope someone can find the magazine photo that was photoshop'ed from. If it's real ... it should be an embarrassment to the producer's of this film. Why are they calling this movie Catwoman? It has zero to do with anything remotely associated with the comics. It's worse than Birds of Prey.

With the TV actresses & Michelle, there was a soft, sexy attraction -- like with a real cat, you wanted to reach and touch, knowing that you might get clawed. But with this costume -- there's just no attraction, just something that looks like it came from a cheap biker shop. Junk this costume, get a feminine touch, & it can be salvaged.

I think WB wants this movie to intentionally bomb so that no other comic movies get made. They see Marvel movies raking in the money hand over fist, and they know that they can't get anything done successfully with the two biggest comic book icons ever (Batman and Superman), so they're making Catwoman a sacrificial lamb to make sure that any future endevors Marvel decides to try get's torpedoed right out of dry dock. This movie is going to make Dolph Lungrand's Punisher look like X2. At least Dolph's character's name was Frank Castle. I see my hopes for Spiderman 3, X3, and Fantastic Four disappearing faster than snow in the heart of Arizona. Thank you for your time.

by mr. waturi
This movie will be D.O.A. What a missed opportunity to make a unique, kick ass action film. Unfortunately, the story sounds retarded, the actress is all wrong and the costume is shit.
-
Fucking clown-shoes, I swear.
-
This whole movie is a write-off. The only similarity between this "Catwoman" and the DC Comics Catwoman that this movie was SUPPOSED to be about is the name Catwoman. This movie doesn't acknowledge Batman, Gotham City, her real name (Selina Kyle), the fact that she is supposed to be a thief, and not to mention that Catwoman isn't African-American.
From what I've heard so far, her character's name is Prudence Price and she's fighting evil scientists that test on animals, or some other laughably ridiculous out-of-touch storyline that WB spit-up. What a waste. -
i swear, WB must have no regard for genre fans. what IS this?
-
Sorry, but that pic is hilarious! And scary. And very, very sad. Because forget Daredevil. That still did alright moneywise. THIS is the dud that once again will nix superhero movies back to the darkness they came from in Hollywood. It's over. We had a good run. Let's hope X3 still does well. Oh and I've worked professionally with Photoshop for 10 years. You can't really tell unless the quality on this would be a bit higher but I'd say this is a real promo that was digitally upped a bit here and there. Point is, Time and ET ran it. Which means this is the design they're going with. Urgglll. I said before the only saving grace I could think of for this project was Berry in a tight shiny catsuit. Now even THAT can be scratched! Hey I'm as kinky as the next guy and I love women in superhero outfits but this just makes me laugh out loud! This looks like some gay fashion designers idea of a superhero costume. One who's never read a single comic. Oh wouldn't this look great on a fashion show. Those 'deliberate' rips in the pants. Those open toes that make no sense. Those belts that just 'finish' the whole 'piece'. How creative. And UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! Some guy said it, Catwoman is one of the few characters whose basic costume idea can actually work on screen. And be sexy. And be functional (Not be seen at night, all in black) But nooooooo we must even screw THAT up! UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!

Come on dude grow up!! No one is claiming that this is ACTUALLY Halle in the costume, but this is an official release from the studio. I'll explain for you...you see rather than pay for a photo shoot to see the costume right away studios will often doctor pics they have just to get an IDEA how the costume will look, get it? OF COURSE IT'S PHOTOSHOP!!! THAT'S NOT THE POINT!! THIS IS THE DESIGN THE STUDIO IS GOING WITH!

Vol.1: Doing a Catwoman film without Michelle Pfeiffer, making her African-American and putting a French freak in the helm...
Vol.2: The "Catwoman Beyond Thunderdome" costume/stripper outfit we're looking right now. Should've stuck with the original design.
This film will be the biggest disaster from Warner Brothers since "Batman & Robin" -
Oh My god, She looks like a Full ON TRANNY BITCH Ready for her FEDERICKS OF HOLLYWOOD close up!
Geez, after Gothika, now this, It is really true what they say about winning a Oscar, you really go down the STONY END after that...This movie is going to FLOP Harder then you can say PUSS IN STILLETOS..Campy I hope it becomes the NEW SHOWGIRLS! But this outfit is beyond HORRIBLE! I have to give it this site for some truly bizzare news! -

It's the sexiest screensaver beanpole on the planet!

I suppose they're trying to move away from the catsuit, cause Michelle Pfeiffer freakin owns the shiny bodysuit look, but there's still no excuse for that top.

Maybe she can play for the Panthers!

This is obviosly a picture from some fetish store webste who sells this stuff for those looking to get into some kinky sex. I know for a fact that this isn't halle berry. Look at her face, look at her lips. This is fake. FAKE! FAKE!

Quit bitching about the Catwoman costume that resembles nothing any of you will ever see on a real girl, stop masturbating to those pictures of nude models with superhero outfits painted on them in photoshop, and go do something productive with your lives.

I think the negative reaction is getting to WB.
This movie is going to blow...hard. And I like Halle -
Ya' know, I can be open minded. I liked the Shadow. I liked DareDevil. I liked the Hulk (face it, it was for adults pretty much) The Punisher was okay Sunday afternoon fare. Even Captian America can be handled in small doses. But turds like Dr. Strange, The Hulk w/ Thor/DareDevil or the Fantastic Four not only increase my need for anal itch cream, they slander the whole genre of the superhero movies.
I'd rather spend an afternoon watching my old Captian America and Captian Marvel movie serials. You HAVEN'T lived until you've seen Captian Marvel machine gun a bunch of arabs in the back.
ANYWAY, who in god's name is watching the store over at WB. It's like some executives retarded son was given the task of "how to fuck up an easy money maker"
1) Give all the characters dumb lame names. Patience? Prudence?
2) Take away the original story-line. C'mon! Part of Catwoman's appeal is the question of whether she is a metahuman or not. We aren't sure. It's all mysterious... LIKE A FUCKING CAT IS! No, we'll give her some old pharoah's ho'bag's favorite enchanted dildo and whammo! superhero time.
3) Take successful costume design and make it for shit. I think we have all seen this. Personally, I would have liked to seen a dark purple or blue suit similiar to the one from the "Long Halloween" story line. http://www.vacuumboy9.com/tlh/5p12.jpg
In the end, this movie will make a few bucks based off of name recognition. Not mine, or hopefully any well informed fanboys. Word of mouth will spread faster than it did after the first week of the Hulk.
WB = stupid shit executives who will not EVER have a clue. -
On their own. As part of the costume? Blech. Looks like a bad version of somebody's BDSM nightmare.
-
I can't believe they're going to A) not have the Human Torch fly, and B) not have him completely burst into flames and only have his fingers and arms catch fire.
WHY???
I heard a reason is that they want to 'ground' the FF in reality. Well, having your arms and fingers catch fire is just as plausible as having your entire body catch flame. It's more FANTASTIC to see someone completely engulfed in flames. It's more FANTASTIC to see him fly around, hurling 'great balls of fire'.
Stupid studio execs. If you can't do it right, PLEASE don't do it at all.
Harry, you mention it, but why haven't you actually made a real post about this abomination??? This is worse than that god-awful Catwoman suit, IMO.
Speaking of Catwoman, I saw pics of Halle walking around on set in her Selina Kyle normal clothes. She looks pretty virginal, actually. I think seeing her go from that to this whore outfit is too much. She's either one or the other, ok? Whore or virgin. -

Let me make one thing clear....Johnny Storm is not Pyro. I know that's what they're trying to go for, but they're two totally different characters....Storm's molecular structure causes him to become living flame, whereas Pyro just manipulates fire. He's the fire equivalent of Iceman, basically(who I pray decides to ice up come X3). I know this is common knowledge to the rest of us, but if any of the suits are reading this site(riiiiight), be prepared for backlash if the Torch is downsized.

Musings - I'm not saying this is going to be a bad movie . . .
by movietool
But why call it Catwoman? If you're trying to play of the popularity of Burton's Catwoman, then it would seem to follow that this movie would be about THAT character. From what I'm reading here, that's not the case. The only other reason to call this movie Catwoman is if you were going back to the source material about a prostitute named Selina Kyle who becomes a cat burgler - it's actually a pretty interesting idea. Catwoman is an anti-hero. You should spend this entire movie feeling kind of wrong for rooting for her. If you're doing neither of those things, then why are you calling this movie CATWOMAN? It's not like the CATWOMAN name has the same identity as Wonder Woman or Superman. Most people probably think of Julie Newmar - and it doesn't seem like you're going in that direction either. Please, WB, explain it to me. I thought you guys were dead-on with the casting, although I didn't understand why Halle would go back to $uperhero movie$ $o $oon. I would have been first in line for a Brian DePalma-ish movie about a Hooker who gets so fed up with dumb-ass johns that she puts on a catsuit (See, WB - she's a CAT-burgler who puts on a CAT-suit - hence the clever name CAT-woman) and skips the sex part to just get their cash directly. It could have been a really nice character movie with some cool action sets. I don't see where it needed a "big villan." I think Berry's a really fine actress (come on guys - I thought the sex in Monster's Ball was hot, too - but you've got to see that it was also one hell of a good performance) and deserves better than this. Sigh. Oh, and yeah, that cowl is pretty silly.

Does anyone remember that cartoon?

Oozes style and cool!!! Way better than that tacky comic-book look. rofl!!! -sarcasm off- oh, Jesus ... Jesus, have mercy, this is just too pathetic, Jesus! That's just... my heart weeps.

-
...OK, this is so bad I don't know what other costumes could have been worse. Wait!! I got it! The Daredevil and Thor costumes from the Hulk TV movies!
Halle is hot and all, but this is so wrong and impractical for the character it's ridiculous. But wait, this isn't Selina Kyle, it's "Patience Price (oy)", so maybe it's OK.
This movie already has disaster and/or STV written all over it. -

Just cut the production on this steaming fly-ridden pile of goat shit now. Just walk away. Write off the cost. Maybe learn something from it. At least change the name to "The Cat's Curse" or something not associated with DC's Catwoman. Not that big of a stretch since this movie has absolutley nothing in common with that property.
I will make it my mission in life to sink this movie. I will start the biggest Internet anti-movie campaign the world's ever seen. I'll call newspapers, cable and local news stations. I'll start a buzz about how badly this movie was done and how you are banking on the popularity of Tim Burton's creation to sell tickets. You, gentleman, have got to pull your heads out of your collective asses and look around at what you are doing...... -
If my memory serves, that's a picture from last years nude cover to cover Halloween Playboy.
Good lord that doesn't even LOOK like Halle. What it does look like is she's going to a Def Leppard concert, ripped jeans? My word!!! -
So sadly it is probably real.

It's from Time magazine, here is the text that goes with the picture:

FIRST LOOK
NO, YOU CAN'T PET HER
The cat is finally out of the bag. HALLE BERRY slinks into a strapping new ensemble this week when filming starts in Vancouver for Catwoman. The Oscar-winning actress plays the Felonious Feline (see also: Princess of Plunder, Mistress of Malevolence) from the Batman series, a role made famous by Eartha Kitt in the '60s TV show and reinvented by a neoprene-clad Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992. Berry's leather cat suit for the 2004 film is "very bare, very urban, very downtown," she says. Her character, Patience Price, is a scientist at a cosmetics company who transforms into Catwoman -
that means black, right? So does she rap or scratch? tee-hee!
-
Pamela Anderson's tits
-
I could fondle his ample manboobs as they bulged through the tight, restrictive clothing...
-
*AIGH* I didn't need to see this... What happened to the nice, simple one-piece rubber suit? What's with those open-toed shoes, too? She's a vicious criminal, she would IMHO be wearing BOOTS! Probably with stiletto heels on them.. EW EW EW EW EW!!!! So much for any hope of having a serious Catwoman movie...
-
Jesus, with a kick butt costume in the comics, that looks like it was made for a movie why use this crap!!! how hard is it do make the one she has in the comics currently!!! lord how stupid this is ....
-
....I don't mind looking at her body from the neck down. In fact, I kinda like it. But the head, the helmet, SCARES THE LIVING FUCK OUTTA ME!! seriousley! I can't look at it for more than 2 seconds. It's not just bad, it's SCARY!!!!! In fact, I don't think I've been so scared by a single image since the ending of Don't Look Now. SOME FREAKY SHIT!
-
2 possible explanations for the Sun pix: MULTIPLE COSTUMES (not unheard of) or
SEXIER CIVILLIAN CLOTHES when she transitions from timid Patience to Agressive Catwoman, it is reflected in what she wears when not under the cowl. -
Fact: Yes this is a doctored pic but that doesn't mean anything. Studios do that a lot.
Fact: This was released by the studio to Time magazine.
Fact: On THIS link http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2003450911,00.html (as others have pointed out) there is a shot of Berry in a far more appropriate costume. (And sexier) Could it be that the studio already changed it's mind? Or that this bad shot is merely an early design? Because this other shot just has her in tight leather and looks waaay better. Maybe she goes through several costume changes in the movie until she 'finds' herself.....wouldn't that be cool? (Please note sarcasm!) -

or bottomless for that matter :))
-
Why the hell do I need to grow up? I've said nothing imature. Yeah you're right, this is the real deal, with that silly ass hat, and open toe high heeled sandals??? Give me a break man, I don't know much about this flick, but I know this isn't the costume. I'll bet my new car on it.
-
I think I know what the issue is with the two outfits. I don't think the SUN is showing Halle in Catwoman garb - just a cycle riding outfit. Based on these pics from the other day (http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/pages/c/c1c.htm), my guess is that she rides that Ducate (get it... a duCATi!! I bet the WB is so proud of that one).
-
You know, this costume looks especially bad in the post "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" comic book movie era. In those films, we got fairly respectable extrapolations of the original character designs into a flesh&blood form that would work in the "real" world (well, a live-action film world anyway). Reminds me of what one friend said regarding the underwhelming "Daredevil" movie - 'The worst thing about it, is it didn't have to suck.' Oh well, I'll take Frank Miller's interpretation of Catwoman in BATMAN: YEAR ONE anyday. The definite version as far as I'm concerned - psychologically complex, strong motivations, and kick-ass to boot.
-
this happens. Mark my words, this is Catwoman in name only! I'm starting to think that Sean Young would've made a better Catwoman than this (Oh, and i love that "Tiny Toons" episode where Plucky tries to star in Tim Burton's new Bat film. Classic stuff.) This movie will make "The Hulk" look like "X2" by comparison, and that's saying something!
-
That's it. WB has got to be clueless on how to make a damn superhero movie. If they are so brainless to take a (big ego but nice ass) oscar winner and stuff her into to this ripped up hefty bag of a custome, you just know that the story should be taken to the trash also. All expectations for this movie, Batman 5, and Superman just went down the shitter.
-
make it big in hollywood production by pissing all over any previous ideas. Its never good enough till its re-visioned. thats what they pay the big bucks for. claim ownership and justify your paycheck. be too easy to just leave it be. that would be too simple and lets face it some twat would be out of a job. lets do superman without a cape and how about batman without the mask. lets make him poor and if they were doing the bible jesus would be in leather kicking ass in the temple. in fact lets make dr who a young leather clad chick. ps this has to be wind up.
-
Same exact pic...... shit on it
-
You would think that being part of Warners, DC would have some say in protecting their properties when being brought to the screen, but apparently they don't. Let's see - years spent re-establishing Batman as the Dark Knight, so why not drag the character back to the campy 60s image in Batman & Robin? Genius idea! A Catwoman movie without Catwoman in it - fantastic, can't fail! The recently-announced Flash TV series - why bother putting him in the costume, the kids'll love it anyway!
Please, someone at DC, stick up for your characters. Everyone knows they are being royally fucked up by your own parent company. Batman: Intimidation Game sounds great, but now they are apparently planning on opening it on the same day as Indy 4 - stupid, stupid, stupid.
And, everyone knows Tom Welling should star in the new Superman movie. He's there, playing the character every week. He's popular. Tying the movie into Smallville is the best chance at relaunching the Superman franchise on the big screen. Superman has been in development for over ten years. Wait a couple more and do it right. -

It's clearly painted on her. Or as you assholes like to say, "photoshopped." One way or the other, it sucks. Who cares? And the Human Torch is not going to be a human torch? Another joke, I am sure.
-
Look at those curves dammit. The only thing that sucks is the helmet for a mask. Just wait when she wears it and all you geeks will cum on your panties.
-
The perceived production value of CATWOMAN just took a big nose dive in the kitty litter. Warner Bros. attempt at a "Fresh Step" (snicker) for the character has just backfired with a rank and fury not seen since Dolph Lundgren in his PUNISHER duds. This one is gonna be a stinker.

They wouldn't have printed it without full approval of the studio. I only WISH it were a scam, that costume is awful,and those belts across the chest are simply impractical for fighting. What's to keep someone from grabbing her and stabbing her in her exposed ( but undeniably hot) mid-drift?
-
Much sexier than Liv Tyler in Stealing Beauty. I must admit. She also will definately compliment batman on the Gotham Crimefighting Scene. I can't wait to see her vs. Christian Bale and them teaming up to save Commisioner Gorden. Hey, do you think Jack Nicholson will make an appearence as Joker?
-
I can't believe that is her real costume. I open up my new TIME magazine, and to my suprise I find the same photo that I could have sworn was a ridiculous looking fake. THAT IS THE WORST COSTUME EVER. EVER. Michelle Pfeiffer's looked cool before, but by comparison it is astronomically better. Halle Berry looks like a cheap dominatrix. Britney Spears wouldn't even go out in something like that. Maybe Christina Aguilera, no, not even Christina would wear that half-baked abomination. I hope whoever okayed that costume gets what is coming to them. WAY TO DROP THE BALL DUMBASS!

IF YOU REALLY ADMIRE PITOF AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS PRODUCTION (LIKE YOU SAID IN PREVIOUS ARTICLES) THEN YOU WILL REMOVE IT AND NOT GIVE CREDENCE TO WHAT IS PATENTLY FALSE AND CRAP.

...I don't think Harry has to try very hard to give this movie bad buzz.
-
Why remove the article? Isn't this being published by Time magazine as the real deal? Please LORD, let it not be real. Let's hope that someone has played some sort of horrible joke on Time magazine and that they're publishing a fake photo. ...otherwise I can guarantee I won't be watching this piece of shit.
-
What is this? I see a combination of rounded, non-threatening sleek kittenish seduction and cutesy dominatrix style buckles and belts. What an odd, worthless combination. And those sandals!!! It all looks like ripped lingerie crossed with suburban low-risk leather. The reaction is the same as seeing those six year old girls in beauty pageants dolled up as Vegas prostitutes: jarring and impossible to comprehend. Catwoman has never been a sweet little pleasing sex doll hiding behind a barely-tough exterior. She is a kick-ass rule-every-male-she-encounters b*tch. (Though Julie Newmar was awesome at purring.) WHY would they want to destroy the persona in favor of this travesty???
-
It might ALMOST be worth the price of admission if the movie plays out like this: we have the first half hour or so of the movie building up the character, explaining how she becomes Catwoman, etc... and then, we finally get to see her go out on the prowl. And on her first night out, WHAM!!! She stubs her toe really bad and gets a nasty sliver or something! The rest of the movie we get to see her either at home or in the hospital having to deal with getting her foot fixed and she never goes out again in that horrible slut outfit. Well... that would ALMOST be worth the price of admission. But not quite.
-
The link to the Sun clearly shows Berry in full leather costume for CATWOMAN. This AICN image is not even Berry. Never mind that is painted on a shot of some model who was probably posed in a bikini. Get real, everyone.

I thought I hallucinated the damn thing yesterday!!
-
I have'nt posted a while now because I did'nt feel I ever needed to again. But after looking at this costume for Catwoman, I have only one question to ask: What were those assholes at Warner Brothers smoking when they came up with this? This is a MAJOR mistake and I for one won't spend any money whatsoever to see what amounts to nothing lower than the white stuff on top of chicken shit.

Halle Berry is the worst actress ever to win an Oscar.
by mosquito march
Were it not for what MONSTER'S BALL was about, they never would have given her an Academy Award. She's a horrible actress. Yeah, she can scream and cry really well - I think she does that all the time when the cameras aren't rolling, anyway - but was anybody truly blown away by her performance? Does anybody re-watch the film simply to bask in the brilliance of her work? To witness again the magic of Halle Berry acting? I'm sure some knuckleheads in this talkback will say "yeah", but, I doubt there are many. She's so bad, she couldn't even read throw-away Bond lines off a cue-card convincingly. Seriously - watch the last Bond flick, if you can stand it, and tell me that you really think an Oscar-caliber actress was delivering those lines. All she had to do was be convincingly sexy and sell some cheap one-liners, and it still came off like a bad audition tape. Famke Janssen - SHE was a sexy Bond Girl. Halle has nothing but her looks (don't confuse being beautiful with being sexy), and now her reputed "talent", thanks to her political Oscar win. She sucks. And, so will CATWOMAN.

She will bring a very attitude of sexy to Catwoman. And she done definately is the Catwoman the better black one since the Eartha Kitt legendary. I have the intention to see this film on the day opening. And I probably will see it a lot times in the theatre and buys the DVD.

haaaaahahahhahahahaha

absolutely the best laugh ive had all week. Even worse than bat-nipples. I mean come on, we ALL knew this was gonna be shit the moment Halle Berry was announced for it. We all knew it was gonna be shit the moment they announced that the main character WASNT gonna be selina kyle. We all know its gonna suck to high hell. A potential Batman and Robin beater here.
-
Nobody here has ever seen concept art? Geez.
The real costume will look somewhat different, obviously. -
Let's face it, you can't just take an established character, change everything there is about them and expect it to work. That's as dumb as making a Superman movie where Krypton didn't explode, Jor-el and Pa Kent knew each other, Lex Luther is an alien and Jimmy Olson is gay. Oh, wait. . .

Need I remind you of that Family Guy episode that features Satan recalling his past work, some of which includes getting Marissa Tomei the Oscar?

This is totally fucking weak. You guys don't post anything worth reporting on anymore.
-
The Catwoman suit from Batman Returns was much cooler - although I could have done without the white stiches so it would look more like the Batman Year-One Catwoman suit. This one is awful.
-
I first saw this in Time (and to the braintrust yelling "Fake!", I've got one thing to say - AOL/TimeWarner) and thought it looked stupid. Now I come to AICN and see a bigger version of the picture and I stand corrected - it is a fucking retarded, lame ass costume. Yes Halle Berry is fun to look at and all, but this piece of shit costume would have been laughed off of the screen in a bad 70's B/D porno. I've got a feeling that since the filming just started and Time has indeed taken the picture down from their website - some designers in Hollywood are working 24/7 to redesign Catwoman's costume and the shooting schedule has been changed to concentrate on "street clothes" scenes. And - some poor 3D artists will soon be pulling all nighters re-skining Berry's digital doubles. So far nothing I've seen or read about this movie makes me want to see it.

... for allowing their characters to be mutilated by Warners. After all, Marvels have Daredevil in a gay porn costume, a Hulk who looked like a rejected character from Reboot, and coming soon, a Human Torch who can only flame-on his fingertips. Looks like the craps getting smeered around a little...

Thank GOD she didn't take it.

Elektra was just fine. A stealthy, sneaky, kill-you-in-between-heartbeats assassin would look damn silly and OBVIOUS in bright red......
So to all who bitch about Elektra or DD, seriously, go suck some pig balls.
This catwoman suit is the DUMBEST thing I have ever seen. I'm talkin dumber than Cathy Lee Crosby's Wonder Woman pant suit....

And all you other little punk shits take a break as well. Some of us have seen the horrors of the 70's superhero movies. Ya'll don't know what bad costuming is. Comparing this catwoman movie joke of a costume to Hulk, DD, etc. is like comparing a Porsche to a Gremlin....
Yer probably one of those who bitched loud and long about the X-men uniforms, yet were first in line for X-men 2.... If you wanna bitch, bitch about the picture at the top of this page. That cat suit is supposed to be the topic, numbnuts. -

I'd never give Mary Hart or Bob Goen credit for anything journalistic, but this picture was shown on Entertainment Tonight as her costume. And although most serious film geeks show them the contempt they deserve, they do get exclusives because of their 20+ year run and rarely get anything wrong because of it. Just a thought... oh yeah, the costume does bite.
-
first off, that photo doesn't even look like Halle Barry. Secondly, her mask and horribly tattered pants appear to be an attempt at a photoshop hack. I may be wrong, but thats just how it looks to me.

hey terry 1978, it wasnt satan congratulating himself for tomei's victory, it was brian's doing. (came up in the context of brian's attempt to help peter become adept at polite conversation, causing brian to muse, this wont be the first time ive performed a miracle.)
oh, and this movie is a fucking travesty -

lostNseenile, about Cathy Lee Crosby's Wonder Woman costume: AAA
by noriko takaya
Seriously though, the Halle Berry travesty above is why I now definately DO NOT want to see a Wonder Woman movie in the forseeable future. Warner's would just screw it up. It's like they don't know what they're doing anymore, at least as far as superheros goes. Be that as it may I doubt this thing will be enough to kill superhero movies. It won't last long enough in the theaters to do so. I expect it to be there-and-gone in a stinky flash, just like Pluto Nash. Toppu o Nerae!
-
Whatever you may think of Julia Roberts as an actress, she'd have to work pretty fucking hard to suck as bad as Halle did in DIE ANOTHER DAY.
-
I'm not talking about supporting actors or actresses, which are usually absurd - I'm talking about Best Actress. On that plane, Halle's the worst. I will savor the day that her star falls. And, it will.
-
Halle and Eric Benet have broken up....news? Maybe....
-
One of the most over-rated, pathetic actors of the last decade. Terrible in Swordfish, Die Another Day, X-Men and Monster's Ball. I don't know what the Academy voters were thinking on that one. Let's hope this sinks her. And lets hope that Ben Afflek and Lopez aren't far behind.

I know how to give this crappy movie a good review...
by sherlock_holmes_
If you want Herc to love it, just include some nice teen-angst bonding moments, and some cheesy sit-com humor. Instant Coax hit! If you want Mori to love it, just make sure there's a reference to him somewhere in it. If you want Harry to love it, just hide the money in his dessert- He'll get it. Seriously- This IS Catwoman in name only. It's another example of "The Godzilla Effect" which is when an American movie studio takes a popular property with a long, respected history and applies that property's name to another project entirely. Perhaps it's a script some hack wrote, but it wouldn't fly without name recognition. Maybe it's a script for a movie made 60 years ago, but it's been "punched up" and then given the "bonus" of changing the characters' names to something more "popular with the kids". Either way, this is not Catwoman. It's some other character whom they are CALLING "Catwoman" but that's the limit of the similarities. Warner Bros should be stripped of their DC licenses IMMEDIATELY before they do real damage to the Justice League or Watchmen.
-
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING WARNER BROS. The only good idea you've put foward is Harry Potter...but dammit...you've gone and fucking KILLED THE BATMAN FRANCHISE...OPEN TOE SHOES....CATWOMAN IS A WARRIOR, A FIGHTER...NOT A FUCKING REVLON MODEL OUT OF WORK....IF YOUR GOING TO MAKE HALLE CATWOMAN...THEN "DO IT RIGHT"...WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS CHEAP COSTUME...AT LEAST MICHELLE'S COSTUME WAS UNIQUE AND TRUE TO THE CHARACTER....FUCKING WITH BATMAN IS ONE THING...BUT AN ICON LIKE CATWOMAN...OH SHIT...NOW YOU'VE GONE AND FUCKED IT ALL UP....STICK TO THE POTTER FLICKS...AND PLEASE FORGET ABOUT CATWOMAN, UNLESS YOU PLAN TO TAKE THIS PROJECT "SERIOUS"...

THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BURY HALLE BERRY'S CAREER....

it gave me a tingle in the Y fronts.

The top of that mask never ends.................its fake. One big photoshop fuck up!!!
-
She's a thief. She's a manipulator. She's a tease, a flirt, and at times even a bitch. She's more Autocules (or whoever Bruce Campbell played in Xena) than she is Xena. When she does win a fight, its not because she's a better fighter, or a stonger warrior, but because she's a crafty damn thief. Because she's always looking for an opening or an out. Look back at several of her appearances in Batman: TAS. She gets by because she's smart and fast, not strong.
-
...and she put it together from some Halloween shop and showed up wearing it on the Joan Rivers Show!!! This is what happens when you put the French in charge of a major motion picture. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for the jackass director to cast Jerry Lewis in an uncredited role as Pathetic Pussy's dead father who speaks to her through her toaster oven.....
-
Maybe they can punch up this turd by adding Bruce Campbell as Elvis making a stop in whatever city isn't supposed to be Gotham City and him tracking down Cat-Woman before she turns it into a giant hairball that she's going to cough up....
-
First of all, she's HALF African American and HALF caucasian. So, you can take the "proud black" statement and send it back to the Academy Awards, along with her fist raising speach.
So, this is what we have come to? First, Kingpin is black. Now...Cat Woman. Where will this PC catering end? Denzel Washington as Captain America? Chris Rock as Batman? Bernie Mac as Superman?
Great...I just gave Hollywood some ideas. LOL. Now they can move forward with the Superman movie. -
of exactly how much the French do truly hate America.........
-
What's wrong with Michelle Pfeiffer's costume from Batman Returns? THAT WAS CATWOMAN! Well, at least if I was the bad guy, all I'd have to do is step on her left big toe and CATWOMAN OVER! MOVIE OVER! YANKEES WIN! THAAAAA YANKESS WIN!
-
A black Catwoman is a great idea too.
I can't wait for Mark Lynn-Baker to play Hornblower and Bronson Pinchot as Cyborg in their reunion project, The New Teen Titans.
"Blow your horn? Don't be REEEEEE-diculous." -
a bunch of people who've probably never even heard of Cat Woman get control of the movie. It's so far off the mark, it shouldn't even be called Cat Woman...It should be called "Shameless Attempt by Studio to Cash In On Name Recognition of Character and Star Who Has Proven Again & Again That If She Feels Its 'Crucial to The Role' (Extra 500 Grand) You Can See Her Naked"

Actually, Jeditemple, the current trend of rampant transformation of classic White superheroes to other races started not in Hollywood but with Marvel and to lesser degree DC.
* The "Truth" mini-series revealed the first Captain America was Black (Sorry, Steve Rogers).
*In the Ultimates, Nick Fury went from White to a Black guy who strangely resembles Samuel L. Jackson.
*Ultimate version of Wasp is now Asian (Asian WASP? Cute joke.)
*In Hawkman, it was recounted how the title character and Hawkgirl were Egyptian royalty (Black people) in the first lives.
All these racial changes are to address a sad fact: compared to other media, comics are EXTREMELY intolerant of cool, iconic Black characters.
*Film has John Shaft, Morpheus, Mace Windu, and Will Smith.
*TV has Captain Sisko, Hawk (From Spencer for Hire), and President Palmer (24)
*Novels have Easy Rawlins and Alex Cross
But ask anyone even hardcore comic fans to name ONE Black superhero who ahs headline a popular or classic comic, and you'll likely get a blank stare. No, Spawn doesn't count because in a Spin magazine article Tood McFarlane admitted to "skinning" away the character's Blackness to appeal to a broad (White?) audience. (Yes, that statement is as deeply racist and clueless as it sounds.)
This problem is so pervasive and ignored that several comic creator recently had a panel exploring its origins:
http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/panel/1063121223602.htm
Of the panelists, Alonzo Washington offers perhaps the most honest if uncomfortable argument for the root of comics' lily White world: most White including comic fans do not WANT a Black savior (i.e., Black superhero) because he/she would challenge their negative stereotypes about my race. If given the choice, many fans tend to embrace heroic monsters (Hulk, Thing, Swamp Thing, etc.) over a human superhero who happens not to be a White guy.
To add to the embarrassment for comics, Black superheroes have found the success and respect they deserve in competing media. A lot of posters probably just said Blade, the FIRST Marvel character(s) to spawn a hit film. (Sorry, X-Men.) Another great example is Static Shock (formerly Static) which back in the '90s was instantly, often venomously scorned by fans due to the Black thing, lack of (now irrelevant) speculator heat, and/or no connection to the mainstream DCU.
However, when the cartoon version debuted on Kids WB, kids immediately realized what "knowledgeable" comic fans did not: at heart, Static Shock is about a comic fan (Virgil Hawkins) fulfilling his wish to become a real-life superhero (Static) due to an act of fate. In the process, Virgil becomes the most flattering portrayal of comic fans. Even the much lauded Unbreakable fell into the trap of comics turning impressionable kids into dangerous criminals (Elijah, anyone?).
Not surprisingly Static Shock easily beats its timeslot competitors (e.g., Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and now ranks number two overall in ratings on Saturday mornings:
http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?threadid=76387
Furthermore, Static Shock has been renewed for its FOURTH season. Put another way, this obscure comic turned cartoon has outlasted such relatively recent "sure fire" hits as Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, Avengers, Silver Surfer, Spawn, WildCATs, Savage Dragon, and Spider-Man Unlimited.
To avoid worsening comics' already lousy rep with the mainstream and lose potential sales, DC and especially Marvel are trying to diversify their superhero pantheons. Hence, don -
Sorry Mosquito March, but you're off on this one. Though an effective guilty plesure, Bond films have become VERY formulaic since Connery left. This would explais why Bond spoofs like Austin Powers are so popular. Hence, Berry and Pierce Brosnan are not expected to really stretch themselves dramatically in Die Another Day. (To be frank, Brosnan exerted himself more in Mrs. Doubtfire.) If this were Bourne Identity or a Jack Ryan flick, then the actors would have to push themselves.
So, Mosquito March, you either accept the "terrible" acting and formulaic plot in DAD or you don't. -
Damn, duane106...you really got through to me. I haven't been this bored since Morpheus did his big Zion speach in "Matrix Reloaded." And I thought I was going to have to take some Nitol tonight...thanks for putting me to sleep after the first sentence. How many hours did that take to write?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... -
Holee shit, this is unspeakably BAD. Which is a sin against Catwoman's traditional sex appeal. We doan' need no stinking ripped/shredded costume, GODDAMMIT! Bring back the form-fitting, leather or latex bodysuit! THAT is what brings out the mrrrrrooowwwwwlllll in Catwoman! I give up. I'll wait for Berry's Jinx movie to come out. This THING is not worth even watching in preview.
-
Please, Jeditemple, lengthy posts are not new to AICN MBs. But here is the micro version of my "PC" catering post for those on the go, suffering RSAS, or afflicted with frequent sleepiness. OK, MARVEL and DC not Hollywood are the cause of the recent, rampant racial switching of classic White superheroes. Thus, Ultimate Nick Fury and Ultimate Wasp are now Black and Asian, respectively. And the original incarnations of Hawkman and Captain America (see Truth mini-series) are now revealed to also be Black. Why? To shed comics' image as being as racist and backward as the Ku Klux Klan (Don't argue, it's true.) Naturally, as usual, Hollywood is following MARVEL and DC's lead by example with a Black Kingpin and a Black Catwoman. The end.
-
Since race is such a hot topic on the message board, here is a panel discussion by several comic creators on why Black comics don't sell and why Black characters don't headline mainstream comics. Is it market forces or is it due to comic fans being "closet racists"? Get the fulld details at this link at Silver Bullet Comics: http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/panel/1063121223602.htm

Okay question for the masses...whats wrong with an actor of whatever color playing a character whose race is not essential to the story?
Is it essential that superman be white and not asian?
Is it essential that storm be black and not indian? Okay shes an african princess so maybe thats different.
I feel the only time race should come into play is if its essential to the character like a bio pic flick.
I mean no one has any issues with all these aussie and british actors coming to america and playing americans. Mel Gibson plays a revolutionary hero and no one bats an eye! Hes not american! Thats basically what people did to Whats his name playing Kingpin, michael clark duncan. So what if he's black or white it didn't affect the character. THe movie still sucked.
My problem with catwoman is that they took a great idea: Thief or eco terrorist and turned it into some silly revenge story. Even her origin story is silly. Whats wrong with making her a Thief???? IT could have been a thriller or an action adventure piece.
THe problem with comic book movies is that they try to make a
"comic book" movie INSTEAD OF JUST A GOOD MOVIE.
Movies are all about the script and the director and then the actor. Halle could pull this off if the script was good and her director was decent. She needs to choose her projects with more care. ISn't she the one who bitched that storm had this great history that wasn't being explored by the movies? So why didn't she stick up for catwoman? Or why didnt she just gun for a storm solo movie?
Storm is a thief and they could have explored that nicely. Face it the hollywood suits suck and they will destroy anything good they get their hands on the artless fops.
