Want to see Halle Berry move in the Kitty Litter outfit from CATWOMAN'
Hey folks, Harry here with CATWOMAN - apparently Halle Berry recorded a tribute to Oprah Winfrey in her full Catwoman amateur porn outfit and well... it is online over at TheMovieBox.Net's site (below) and whew... Ya know, it's just... um... swell... yeah, that's... actually that's not the word. The word is ASS. Total ASS. Terrible costume, looks like, what Robogeek is calling, RATWOMAN!
Traincrash Alert..
I keep kinda hoping that this whole cat woman outfit is a joke and the week before release they'll unveil the real costume... but perhaps not

the outfit sucks, but her performance might be ok...?
-
She can whip me anytime.
But she's still crazy. -
I've been coming to this site for years and the was the first time I was FIRST!
-
I thought the EW shots were bad, this makes it even worse. PEOPLE, AMERICAN PUBLIC, AVOID THIS FILM ABORTION!!! PLEASE! Why Warners isn't scrambling to digitally alter the costume from this S&M strip-joint number into the sexy skintight catsuit we all know and love is a mystery. There's still time, WB. Still won't solve the bad actress/bad script/bad movie problem though. Stink-eeeeeeeeeeeee.
-
Because who could possible take this seriously?
-
All,
If this isn't some kind of stupid joke that we are all falling for, then this could kill over half the credibility superhero movies have built up over the last few years. Shame. Horrible costume. There is more square footage in the "helmet" than the rest of the torso area combined. Makes it look twice as stupid. Argh. -

If they are truly stupid enough to launch this embarrassing piece of tripe as their first foray into the current comic book movie fray, they deserve the humiliation this movie will heap onto their studio by the truckload.
This is absolutely laughable. What were they thinking? That being said, let's see Angelina Jolie as Wonder Woman, okay? And give her an invisible costume instead of an invisible plane. That's my line and I'm sticking to it. -

After all the credibility that the comic book movies had to earn
by mbaker
We get crap like this!! Mark my words, this will scare the public off in droves, and after the damage is done, John, & Jane Q. Public will end up back at square 1. Thinking that all comic book movies are nothing but cheesy, over the top garbage with bad acting, and silly costumes despite the sucess of "X-Men", and "Spider-Man"!!! Is it still too late to cast Sean Young in this? Because she probably would've made a better Catwoman at any rate? With the exception of Bruce Timm, and the people behind "Smallville", Warner Bros. will never make a good DC movie for a very long time!!!
-
but people, give it a chance before you immediately call it a piece of crap. At least wait until there are some script reviews or when the trailer comes out to call it horrible. And lastly, even if her costume sucks, Halle Berry still looks good.

Hmmm...Would this flick be better with Beyonce Knowles as Catwom
by spyguy
How embarrassing is that for Halle Berry? I saw that on GOOD MORNING AMERICA this morning and the Oprah-gushing alone made me cringe. This "CATWOMAN" (and I use the term loosely) will rack up more Razzie awards than GIGLI.
-
The costume is, eh, but the high school audition material was worse. What, did she film that in her agent's office as a favor to counter all the bad press this film is getting? Really stock improvisation, hardly original, she totally ripped off Pfeiffer's catwoman meow. It's funny, you can work the system really well and get pretty damn far (even win an academy award), but if you haven't got the talent, you are going to come off like a hack one day. I think Berre's day has come.
I don't know why they didn't cast the Hulk anyway "Meow, brother." -
Lol! That was funny Harry. I'm sure Sean Young is crying in her pillow right now. Again.
-
I`m still not gonna pay money to see this POS.
-
Why didn't they just get Sean Young to play catwoman? The costume she wore on that talk show was very familiar, and if thats the "tone" she is going to be using they could have saved some money from hiring sean instead of Halle.
-
Ok, seriously.. she said she wouldn't do Storm again, turns around and does THIS kind of shit??? Will someone please take her Oscar away?
-
Where are our talk backs for the show? Did anyone see this week's episode? Chloe used the name "Lois Lane" when she handed the (now dead) reporter at the Daily Planet her last few stories.
She said the name is her cousin's, but like so many of us believe, Chloe may actually change her name to Lois Lane later on in the series.
I hope this show lasts a long time, I love what they are doing.
And you know Adam is really Bruce Wayne. Damn pricks at WB having to be so protective of the character that they won't let 'Smallville' use it.
For crying out loud, people should be smart enough to know that the actor playing the character on TV can be different from the one playing him in a movie and that the stories could be different.
They used 3 different actors for the movies so far, and if Michelle Piffer was Catwoman and now Halle Berry is Catwoman, why is that okay?
Stupid WB execs. -
who actually looks at this costume and says 'ok. that's the best damn thing i've ever seen.Let's go with it' I mean c'mon man, that's just...cheesy. cheesy. cheesy.

Catwoman will suck because she is wearing Open Toed Shoes.
by mr. profit
If you are a violent thug in the streets and Catwoman tries to stop you, what do you do? Just laugh first because she looks ridiculous, then step on her toes because she has on open toed shoes. What superhero would leave them selves open for injury in the name of fashion? Even in an office you can't wear open toed shoes because something might fall on your toes. So why would a crime fighter wear them? So after you stop her feet out, you can do whatever else you want if you are that desperate. Halle Berry isn't hot to me, she looks too thin and her teeth look mad fake. Give me Jessica Biel anyday. Hey Harry, where are the Jessica pics from Blade 3????? Get on your job kid.
-
as I do the concept of the movie. Why a movie featuring one of Batman's nemesis? Who cares? Who really wants to see that? Who is the audience supposed to be? What's next, the Egghead movie? How can a studio of that size make such poorly considered decisions -- who's calling the shots, for cryin' out loud?? Superman could be the biggest thing in cinema boxoffice, and they're doing everything they can to make it a complete wreck. If Batman turns out to be decent, it's only because of the law of averages -- gotta be.
-
That's all I have to emote.
-
That costume makes her look like a retard. Whoever designed it should never work in the film industry again. Hell, they shouldn't even be allowed to create Halloween costumes for toddlers.
Notice the expression on Oprah's face--even she can tell its cheesy as all fuck. And what the heck is Halle babbling on about? Is she on too many pain-killers?
Gahhhhh -

And the way Harry had it in for this flick, you'd think WB was mucking up some classic of literature, or remaking a celebrated piece of film history, or having McG, Ashton Kutcher, and Beyonce film a take on The Bible. Oh, wait, Harry wouldn't care about any of THOSE instances, because stuff like CATWOMAN and SUPERMAN is more important than damn near anything else to him. But at least SUPERMAN is a bona fide classic which has meant something near and dear to several generations of fans. CATWOMAN is....well, it's fucking CATWOMAN, so I don't see where all this rage comes from. Kind of like when Harry goes on his tirades about the film versions of SCOOBY DOO or GARFIELD. Uh, dude, it's fucking GARFIELD. You're 33. Get over it. As others in this thread have made abundantly clear, the character of Catwoman is hardly a work of genius in any incarnation, so why the fuss?

That was the funniest shit ever!! It looked like a porno video!

This does look horrible and pathetic. I just cannot fathom how in the world this movie can be viewable: maybe if they have a scene where Billy Bob dresses up like Doggie-Man and does Cat Woman critter-style like in Monster Balls.

I believe CATWOMAN is being directed by Mel Brooks.

The word "ass" began life as an adjective approximately 13 years ago, first among West Coast grunge types before spreading to the body national.
HET GRADY: If you're not passionite about film and comic book adaptations, then what the hell are you doing here?
I'm no fan of Harry's opinion, but this is a website dedicated to fantasy films and YOU'RE trying to tell people what's important?
Fuck off. -
Berry looks like ass in the clip. She ought to be ashamed of herself.

This will be the best comic movie since Teenage Nija Turtles 2. You are all racists and I find it dispicable. Shame on all of you.

the fact that I like Vidoq so much. Pitof's stock is going to plummet with this one. He coulda been a contender! Damn. Not any more.

by rcamacho2278
My god that costume looks so fucken bloody bad, and her character is bad, shes catwoman, but shes not, but she is, in a way.
the only thing that could look worse is oprah putting on the costume herself. -
Anyone who is familiar with the history of the original cat woman in the comics care to elighten us as to why she became the cat woman?
Who is cat woman?
The little i've read on the net indicates she grew up an orphan, had exceptional atheltic abilities. But how does this translate into a 'cat burglar.'
Incidentally, if Cat Woman got her name because she was a female cat burglar, then it makes Berry's costume all the more rediculous. You wouldn't wear such a costume unless you were vain and wanted to be seen, but a cat burglar by definition slips in, commits the crime and slips back out unseen and undetected.
-
I know its getting beaten into the ground but man, that costume is horrible! I was thinking there was no possible way the 1st photos at this site were for real until I saw them again in EWeekly. Horrible! At least WB can do some extra promotion by having Halle show up in costume at Wrestlemania or something. Horrible! And Mortsleam, if they have Storm lose her powers in X3 may it be while flying, many miles above sea level.
-
I, too, miss the talbacks for Smallville. Too bad Herc has childishly snubbed this excellent series. This week's episode had some very good stuff in it and it makes me wonder if Chloe is going to die and be replaced by her cousin Lois or if she is, somehow, going to gradually assume the Lois Lane identity. Allison Mack is consistently wonderful as Chloe, a high school girl with a woman's courage, maturity and emotional depth. Watching her reconcile with Clark
near the end of the episode was heartbreaking, a scene in which Ms. Mack reallly shone. Her character really has so much more depth and emotional solidity than the flighty and neurotic Lana.
Like so many of our fellow Smallville fans I have always maintained that this series has to evolve in order to survive. "Smallville," as we've come to know it, has maybe two more years - max - before it has to jump up to the next level and become "Metropolis." I know that executive suits are loathe to change what they perceive as a winning formula, but if they try to keep Clark seventeen and on the farm forever then this show is going to go south with appalling speed. The idea of watching a thirty-year old Tom Welling still trying to play a barely post-pubescent Kal-El is abhorrent to me. Indeed, I've already grown impatient to see Clark leave the farm and fulfill his destiny as The Man of Tomorrow. I want to see Clark interact with Perry White, Jimmy Olson and Lois Lane (whoever that may turn out to be) as well as Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne, Hal Jordan, Princess Diana of Themyscira and the rest of the familiar DC pantheon. There is so much potential for this remarkable series that I can't wait to see it finally make the logical leap to its next level. -
...by all accounts, the Cat Woman to be played by Halle looks to be a caricature of the comic book character (which is not her fault.)
I think she could be good for the role, but only if the script takes these characters more seriously and develops them to be more realistic and less silly and gratuitous.

The greatest phrase I've ever read on this site. BLess all of you.

if that's how shes going to play the part, the costume is the least of the movie's troubles.

Even though everything about it looks atrocious, this director did the fantastic film, "Vidocq." The real problem here is that they even labeled it Catwoman, because it is clearly not.

oh for fuck's sake!!

Ooooh...Halle is hot hot hot...even if it is a lousy looking costume, you must remember the key factor of it being that it is TIGHT!!!! AND FULL OF HOLES!!! WOO SKIN SKIN SKIN!!!!

You have designed a revealing leather outfit that Halle Berry- HALLE BERRY, mind you- does NOT look good in. You will NEVER AGAIN be allowed within 100 feet of a sewing machine, and may God have mercy on your soul.
-
From this chicks persepective, the costume looks fine. Why do you guys think it is ugly? I have heard a lot of bitchin but no splainin. So put it out there for my and others consideration. BTW, did you really think a movie about "Catwoman" would be good? It supposed to be fun and campy not the second coming..for christs sake. LOL for christs sake hahahahaaha beegirl goes off to laugh at her pun
-
You mean all this time I have been commenting on Halle's anal region while this film contains a director who feels his importance to the world is so great that he only carries around one name like McG or KAOS???? I suppose there is only one thing to do now....ALL HAIL PITOF!!!!! ALL HAIL PITOF!!!! HE'S THE BEST FUCKING THING TO COME ALONG SINCE THE INVENTION OF THE FLESHLIGHT!!!! PITOF MAKES ALL DIRECTORS LIKE KUROSAWA AND HITCHCOCK LOOK LIKE AMATURES!!!! PITOF IS SO GREAT - HE CAN MAKE THE WORLD ROTATE WITHOUT GIVING IT ANY ATTENTION!!!! ALL HAIL PITOF!!! ALL HAIL PITOF!!!! CALL YOUR MAMA AND TELL HER THE GOOD NEWS!! ALL HAIL PITOF!!! ALL HAIL PITOF!!!!!...And thus, I have spoken! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
The costume sucks because
1. They had a perfectly fine costume to draw from in the comics (even if they aren't setting it in the DC universe, they're using the name, why not the costume?)
2. It does something funky to Halle's otherwise gorgeous skin tone, making her look kind of blotchy
3. The headpiece is gigantic and makes her look like a bobblehead doll or an alien from "Signs".
4. For character purposes, it's too showy and attention-grabbing for Catwoman, who is supposed to be a cat burglar, although I suppose they could have changed that, too.
5. The overall effect is remniscent of a minor character in Mutant X, not a good association.
And finally, why did we think a movie called "Catwoman" would be any good? Well, obviously, we don't anymore. But at one time, long ago, it had the potential. They managed to make an excellent movie out of a dude named "Spider-Man", so why not Catwoman? -
YOu can't explain why the costume is ugly...aesthetics defy such explanations. The fact is that it looks STUPID, and I hope this movie fails. But it will probably succeed because lots of ignorant foreigners will go see it and still go home and jerk off to Halle memories. Americans aren't that smart, but at least we won't make this movie a financial success, at least I hope not.

I normally wouldn't take the time to give a positive shout-out in the otherwise hostile TalkBacks, but, wash, anyone who drops a THE BOOST reference deserves one. And same goes for Chicken George, whose posts are always funny, though I always wonder why he seems to get so little appreciation. One can only hope Pitof is half the craftsman that Kaos is. And while we're all piling on Halle, was her performance in MONSTER'S BALL really THAT fucking great? Truth told, I like her better in admittied junk like GOTHIKA. Halle's "genius" in MONSTER'S BALL -- "GUMBALL! MY FAT SON ATE A GUMBALL! BIG FAT GUMBALL! HE SO FAT! MY BA-A-A--ABY WAS SOOOO FAT! AND HE ATE GUMBALL! BIG FAT GUMBALL! EATIN' THAT CANDY! GUMBALLLLLLLL!" Cut to Billy Bob having sex with her. One Oscar, please. Thank you. Another bullshit performance rewarded. Histrionics ahoy!

by sexybeast
Halle Berry is actually pretty good in that video clip. She is sexy despite that awful costume.
-
Do NOT make it campy and fun. Stick to the original story and characters. Cast another, younger and whiter actress (since Halle's half-white) whose not a "star" and oozes sexuality (Jessica Biel would have been perfect). Put her in a simple black leather (not latex and none of that stupid stitching) catsuit that shows off every curve. Choose a director that wants to stay true to the character and knows how to direct action. Have him make a steamy, PG-13 or R, action-packed, violent film similar to the original "La Femme Nikita" or the pilot episode of "Alias." This movie could have rocked and made a ton of money. Instead it will sink like a turd.
-
The talkbackers who keep trashing the Catwoman character, and indicating that she is not worthy of the big screen treatment are truely showing thier ignorance, Catwoman is a classic character who has been appearing in comics since 1940. Her current book written by Brubaker is one of the best books on the shelf. Catwoman is a character who would truely shine in her own movie or TV series. Of course it's not gonna happen here. This isn't Catwoman. Catwoman is a white woman named Selina Kyle. This is a movie about a black woman named Patience Pride. That is not Catwoman. Superman is Clark Kent, not Philbert Johnson. Batman is Bruce Wayne, not Jim Thompson. Catwoman is Selina Kyle, NOT PATIENCE PRIDE. And to anyone who gives me lip about being "racist" because I say Catwoman isn't black GROW UP. It's not racism, it's fact. Pick up a comic book and see for yourself. I wouldn't cast Judd Nelson as Shaft, and I wouldn't cast Bruce Willis as Steel either. The truth is the race issue bothers me a whole lot less then the fact that the name isn't Selina Kyle. I'd think she was miscast, but I might be able to except Hallie Berry in the role if she was actually playing Catwoman. SHe's not. Selina Kyle is Catwoman. Hallie Berry is NOT playing Selina Kyle. Therefore Hallie Berry is NOT playing Catwoman. So I ask you this: Why do Catwoman if your not going to do Catwoman??? It's stupid. And so is Warner Brothers. Sorry for the rant. And to all those who were putting down the character I recomend going down to the comic book store and getting the trade paperback of "Catwoman: Selina's Big Score". It's top notch stuff.

At first I was pissed that she backed out as I would have loved to see her all leathered up. Now, after looking at that shitty costume I am so glad she did. Halle Berry is not a good actress and in my opinion not hot. This will fail badly but I still want to see Ashley kicking ass in a skimpy costume soon.

-
Instead of this over complicated Catwoman story about gangstas and what not. Why dont they just make the film about Selina Kyle. Base it in Gotham or another big city. You can have a connecting point to Batman or you dont have to. Maek it about her being a master Cat-Burglar who is black mailed into robbing some sort of priceless jewel and make her turn it around on the villians. Standard stuff yes but not like this schlock. I dont think that Halle is the worst actress she was good in "Monsters Ball" and was decent in the "X-Men"films but she has not proven herself as a strong actress. Not like Angela Basset is who lost out to Halle on both those movies. I think they should have gotten Catherine-Zeta Jones or even Cate Blanchett(doubt she would have done it but hey she did "Bandits") maybe they should have stuck with Pitof maybe not. But they were thinking rigth by getting one like that. Than get some one like Goyer or maybe old Christopher Mvquarie to write the script(remember him he won a Oscar and directed the solid "Way of the Gun" than dropped of the face of the earth). Than maybe they would have had a movie. Not this piece of crap with Halle"look I am a moviestar and I can act to" Berry and over the hill Sharon Stone trying to mount a comeback. With a costum that looks like a overdone Halloween costum for 5 year olds going to a Church function. But hey Batman:Intimidation is going ot be the greatest comic book movie of all time(and maybe one of the best movies of its respective year)may even make Christopher Nolan into a directing force to be reconed with. So it should balance out.

Wow. I guess the WB will even go so far as to exploit Oprah's 50th birthday in order to pimp their Cat-Whore.
-
I hope I don't have to clarify, but just in case anybody's feeling confrontational today, no, Halle Berry's not a whore. The Catwoman movie itself is the whore being shilled relentlessly by Warner Brothers, like a movie with such a shameless marketing campaign has ever been any good. For all I know, Halle Berry could be very good as Catwoman. But the only reason this project has stayed, bouncing from "It" Girl to "It" Girl, is because they think they've got a focus group winner in the "misogynistic, softcore porn disguised as female empowerment" concept. Comparing a couple of throaty purrs and a crack of the whip to the achievements of a woman like Oprah Winfrey is exploitative and shameful.

I'm quite sure all of this is just a big joke.
This won't be the suit used in the movie, Halle Berry won't act like a porn star...
I'm sure the official trailer will show us the real suit and the real storyline...
This material is just for pissing off all the catwoman fans... -

I normally frown upon naysaying before seeing finished product (the U.S. version of The Office being one exception), but this.... I've gone from being mildy indifferent to Halle Berry (other than being hot) to feeling absolute pity for her after that clip. That was almost as embarrassing as that Corey Haim hotline commercial from waaaaaay back. I see it as a cry for help, much like the mangled and biomechanically fused Brundlefly crawling across the floor and lifting Geena's shotgun to its head. And to think we could have had a sequel to Vidocq instead of this... this.... thing.

I have no idea of Catwoman's origin pre-Frank Miller "Batman : Year One," but of the Batman : Year One origin (in the 80s) that restarted the whole Batman comic franchise with the origin(s) that stay until the present day (aborting the campy origins from the 40s-60s), I'll reiterate that as best as I can remember.
Catwoman was Selina Kyle. In the "Batman : Year One" comic, Muzzorelli's artwork (think that's the artist's last name) made Selina look rather African American (darker skin, short, nappy hair). To put it bluntly, the character was a prostitute working in a whorehouse.
Suddenly, one day, after Bruce Wayne goes on his first outing as Batman and nearly gets killed in a shootout with Gotham police (I can't remember details), he manages to make his escape with a WHOLE HOARDE of bats that disguise his retreat. Selina Kyle witnesses this and, as best as I can remember, simply something about watching the Batman and being impressed about him flipped some kind of switch in her head that made her decide to make herself a Catwoman outfit, and the rest is history in modern Batman/Catwoman comics.
Oh, and her becoming a thief was only too natural an instinct, coming from a prostitutional background...

It's been said before but I'll say it again, this movie will be a complete train wreck!

What is going on Warner Brothers?????

http://pw1.netcom.com/~mwomack/
has a nice rundown of Catwoman's history. It even has a bit about the new movie under the "costumes" link.
"In the upcoming CATWOMAN film it seems very likely Selina's costume will be changed substantially from the one seen in BATMAN RETURNS. While it will probably still be a catsuit, based on Ms. Pfeiffer's valid complaints about the sauna-like neoprene, overly constrictive corset, and poorly designed boots, a more comfortable and plausible version should be expected."
Seeing that god-awful thing Halle was wearing, I think we should bring back the sauna-like neoprene. -
I don't get what all the fuss is about? Who'd rather see a fully clad from head to toe Michelle Phifer, literally, over a scandly clad, half nekkid, Halle Berry?
While I admit the suit is'nt the most attractive heroine costume to grace the big screen, in the grand scheme of things... it really ain't that bad.
Let's hold off on judgement until we see how it looks on film. I'm sure any of the previous actors who wore any number of Batsuit incarnations would look stupid standing in the middle of downtown in rubber nipples and a big assed belt. Some things just look better on film. Speaking of which, where are all the comic book 'purists' on that one? Picketing and pissing bout the changes made to that costume? -

I live in Vancouver and just finished working on the Catwoman film. After being with them for 5 months, i can tell you, the movie is not going to be good. The costume is the least of their worries. However, it is not Pitofs fault. He is trying his best but when a film has 25 writers and they dont inform the director of any script changes until they are on set and ready to roll, there is only so much he can do. Visually wise the film will rock, (excluding the costume) however, the plot and script are beyond saving. I think the producers are aware of this too from the way they act on set. add in some scheduling and budget problems, constant on set accidents (Halle got nailed by a light in a stunt gone wrong, was sent to the hospital unconcious) and it looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Dont be too hard on pitof though, its not all his fault.

I still think the costume is a complete fraud!! Either that or it's some special edition of Punk'd or a reality show for Fox's 2005 season...

Jesus people, give Halle a break, and ease up on a movie that none of us have read one script page or seen a single trailer from. The costume sucks, get over it. You all must have some interest in this movie because you spend so much time badmouthing it. A movie fails because no one cares about it. Everyone seems to care about this one, and it will be profitable no matter how bad it does or does not turn out to be. By the way, its sad that in 2004 people are saying we need a younger, whiter actress to play catwoman. Some of the racist venom anonymously spewed on these talkbacks makes me sick to my stomach. Guys, beauty comes in all colors. No matter how bad the Catwoman costume is, no matter how questionable Halle's acting skills are, she's fucking GORGEOUS, and nothing will ever take away from her beauty.

Is that a joke because Im laughing my ass off.
-
One thing to be said for that Catwoman costume as seen on IMDB: I'd fuck her! Of course, she'd have to take that silly helmet off first but I could probably fuck her easily enough with the rest of the costume still on. Maybe Beyonce could play Catwoman's sister, Poontang Pride, and then I could fuck her, too!
-
That costume....and that level of acting on Hally's part, reminds me of something from Roger Corman's 'Black Scorpion' that used to be on the SciFi Channel. Pure comedy gold, it was. Joke's on WB if they think this is going to succeed at the box office.
-
They want their Oscar back...plus your SAG card's been revoked. Sorry bitch, no more overly histerical acceptance speeches for you. This film's release date is when all the "Halle" ass-kissing will come to an end.
Look, I've never considered myself much of a "Halle-Hater", but that's gradually begun to change. It's not so much some sort of blame as if she "single-handedly" wrecked the potential of this movie (which apparently a lot of people had their hand in), but the mere fact that she seems painfully oblivious to how AWEFUL this project really is. I have not had the chance to watch the clip (because some versions of Quicktime apparently don't work on my already shitty computer), but judging by people's descriptions and articles I've read about the movie, Halle seems to be in sheer denial of how foolish she looks in that outfit. Even worse is her terrible overacting. Why doesn't she bring something NEW to the character instead of rehashing the same shit. The PURRRR and MEOOOWWWW bit worked in the 60's, but not today. Which is why this movie seems so laughable. It's lost in the past instead of adding more substance to what's already there.
Look, I wasn't expecting Oscar buzz, but frankly NOBODY expected Warner Bros. to take a nose-dive into Batman & Robin territory again. Guess it's just another mess Warner Bros. will have to mop up while blushing with humiliation. And Halle might have a bit of trouble finding work after this one. I can hear the Jay Leno late-night jokes already. I can only imagine what the soundtrack will sound like either. Maybe 50 Cent followed by some Beyonce and Pink.
But if Warner Bros. needed to cast a "black" Catwoman, why didn't they go with someone like MICHAEL MICHELE? She 11 times more gorgeous than Halle and perhaps a better actress as well. Just give her a better script, a HELL of a better costume, and a better director, and this movie might've ROCKED. But oh well. We're all just left pondering what could have been instead. -
They didn't cast her because she was "black," you fucking racists, they cast her because she was the hottest actress in Hollywood that appealed to both women and men at the time. Why do you think the project pinballed from Ashley Judd to Nicole Kidman to Halle Berry? Hell, there was even an article on this very here site of a Catwoman-related survey they sent out to denizens of L.A., polling them on who their favorite actress was, whether or not they'd heard of Selina Kyle, etc. They wouldn't go after Michele Michael because "they just had to cast a black actress (and yes, before I get grief, I know Halle's half-white as well), so they might as well cast the sexiest one," because she's not popular. Halle Berry was, she was willing to take the role, and for better or for worse, that's why this movie exists. What's with all the antipathy towards a black Catwoman anyway? Can anyone even explain how that makes sense? ********** Oh, and griffin02, I do bitch because I care. I'd care to see the WB not make these shameless shitbombs anymore, and I'd be willing to bet you large sums of cash money that this is going to be a shitbomb.
-
Look, you can think of me as a racist all you like. But all I can do is assure you that the bad wrap this film's been getting is not because Catwoman's black. It's the careless disregard by Warner Bros. of the characters real roots. First it was the name change and the uncalled for "character revamping", then it was the fact that they set it in a completely random city OTHER than Gotham. The fact that they made her black was just the exclamation point to the complete butchering of Selina Kyle. Had they made her a "black" cat-burgular instead of a chipper vetenarian turned midnight stripper once murdered by some "big-meanies", then no controversy would have even been made of it. But Warner Bros. ignorantly chose to go the other way, and more than likely they'll end up paying for it come summertime, bringing Halle down with them. I merely suggested Michael Michele as a much better alternative, because the list of black actresses goes far beyond Halle Berry. And yes, I am well aware they we going for a "big-name" draw instead. But would it have killed them to dig a little deeper than that? Tobey Macguire was HARDLY a marguee name when he was cast as Spider-Man. Then next thing you know his face was plastered all over E.W. and high-fiving teeny-boppers on TRL! The fact of the matter is Warner Bros. clearly didn't give a shit until the movie was practically wrapped shooting. But now it's too little too late. The movie is on a lethal plummet toward disaster instead.
-
The movie only exists because it's a star vehicle. And they changed Catwoman's character in 'Batman Returns' as well, and even though there wasn't really an Internet back then, I don't recall much hullaballoo. It's not the same character; inconsistencies are really pretty redundant.
-
So all this time they've been taking established superheroes and giving them the dark elather look (Batman, X-Men, Huntress on Birds of Prey), and now we get a comci book character who actually wears leather similar to all the heroes' costumes we've had in the last few moies, and what do they do? Redesign her costume.
-
Granted there were changes made in Batman Returns as well. But at least the character actually WAS Selina Kyle and actually had something to do with the Batman franchise. With Batman Returns, the only thing different was the character's origin. With this, EVERYTHING is morphed into a completely different character while RECYCLING the same exact premise. A poor and defenseless woman is murdered by a ruthless business exec, only to be randomly reborn as "Catwoman". There wasn't much controversy back then because the character was just about the same irregardless of the minimal changes, with or without the communications of the internet. But to be honest, I can't help but agree with you. You're absolutely right in fact. Movies like this ARE star-vehicles, and there's nothing really wrong with that. At least until a character is raped to death for the sake of broad marketability. My only point is they could have made it a "star-vehicle" without touching a hair on its head.
-
Thanks, Halle, for doing the impossible. Nice way to follow up that Academy Award. Glad to know you're using it to serve your art, to make gritty, emotionally and intellectually stimulating work that will stand the test of time. But fear not: Roger Ebert loves you, no matter what you do. Hell, he's the only critic in the world who thought GOTHIKA was good, so you'll have one good review. Pity ol' Roger never spoke to all your old boyfriends and ex-husbands to get the skinny on what a vapid pain in the ass you really are.

Perhaps the worst costume in the history of the world. But hey, Halle won an Academy Award; she should be able to pull this off--yeah pull it off and throw it the trash.
-
The fact of the matter here is that Halle Berry isn't right for the role of Catwoman, and I'll tell you why.
Halle Berry may bebeautiful, but she's a beautiful in still photography. She can even be a sex object in still photography. But the problem is she has no sexuality in terms of fluidity. In Swordfish, she shows off her tits, but it's a stiff, uninteresting sexuality. The sort of thing that makes you sort of go, "So what?" In Monster Ball, she was very sexy, but she was playing a woman-next-door sexiness. She was sexy because she was vulnerable, and she was fucking Billy Bob Thorton's character, which made her seem accesible to guys like us. But CATWOMAN, that's a whole other story. Cat woman needs to be so naturally sexy, so overly sexy, without trying to be sexy, that she just reeks of sexuality. Remember, catwoman doesn't really use her sexuality too much. She just is. ANd she's an incredible thief. She's not trying to be sexy, she just is. Pfieffer pulled catwoman off, because here version of the character was too crazy/insane to seem like she was actively trying to be sexy.
Halle Berry is stiff. She's stiff walking out of the water in James Bond. She's stiff dancing in Bullworth. She's stiff in her white wig as Storm (though she's not meant to be truly sexy there). She's stiff when she's wearing her wire in nothing but her underwear in Swordfish. She's just not natural. And here little 'performance' shown here is a perfect example of it. She can play a regular person pretty well, and she does it well in films like Jungle Fever, and of course, Monster's Ball, but she's no super hero.
I'm no racist, but I'll happily say that the reason she was cast for this role is the same reason that names like Beyonc -

The Green Goblin costume was fine, it was even pretty cool, the only thing "wrong" with it was that the mask completely covered Willem Dafoe's face, which made sense, by the way, because without it Spidey would've recognized Norman Osborn IMMEDIATELY. That Catwoman costume, now THAT'S horrible. Good Lord.
-
I hated this costume when I first saw it however if you examine the the oprah video clip carefully you will see when she has her head down at the beginning it looks quite amazing.
I think once people see this costume on the big screen with correct lighting people will like it.
I like the costume now.

by shalimarali
That Oscar award for porn (Monster's Ball) was a slap in the face to all black women. On mostly every internet site where you see her name mentioned, it is in conjuction to porn remarks and comments that she can't act. She used to be able to act, but I think she lost her mind after Swordfish. She is going down a slow descent into nudity, sex and porn. I am so ashamed that she is black. You don't need nudity or sex to win an Oscar. Many have done it before her and many will do it after her. By the time Monster's Ball comes to network TV, the sex will be edited out, so she is a big do-do brain for fighting to keep it in. Thus depriving young black children of their right to see the first black actress winning the leading Oscar because it was for porn. Now she has boycotts all over the web for various reasons, the Catwoman outfit, her lack of acting in X-Men. I watched her older movies and was not offended. But I'll be damned if I have any interest in seeing her new breed of skanky, sex, nudity films. Bring on a big screen version of Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, anything that would appeal to woman and I will be first in line. But seeing dingy, misguided Halle Berry making yet another fool of herself -- pass.
-
and not in a good way, in a terrible way, what the hell is that costume?! who designs that, which director aproves it? and what exec allows that to happen?
i wasnt crazy about this project to start with but now, with this outfit I won't see it in a million years...
just my 2 cents from Portugal -
Halle's going to have start digging deep to get herself out of this hole. She doesn't seem to be able to act in the mask. The movie's goig to suck, whether or not it makes its money back (I think it might just squeak by, based on Halle's fame and good looks). Taking this role is going to cost her respect, and income. By the way, is the only way an actress can win an Oscar is by getting naked? Just a thought.
-
and you guys are just assholes. there is no question that the nerds running this site are very much full of themselves. The costume is just fine. You guys should just get a life and wait for the movie.
Idiots - you're being led like a bunch of Rush-morons by another fat fool with a chip on his shoulder. Hey Harry we get it - you're gay. Just stop hating, 'aight! -
Michael Michele is certainly beautiful and a decent actress but she is pushing 40. So, for that matter, is Ms Berry. CATWOMAN needs to be no older than 30, and preferably in her mid to late 20s. WB could have cast a relative unknown, maybe someone from TV. The costume won't be the thing that kills this popcorn flick. The variation from the real CATWOMAN story and character won't necessarily kill it but it won't help it either. It likely will do the business DAREDEVIL or THE HULK did. The sequel will be a low-budget direct to video job and star a TV-type actress, as Halle will be long gone by then. I would vote for Vivica A. Fox, but she is already too old. That hot young thang in OUT OF TIME, Sanaa Lathan, would do very nicely. Of course, she is already in her 30s.
-
I agree 100% with the winning the Oscar for being naked. Nicole Kidman was robbed of the Oscar the year Halle Berry won. I read on Black Voices that the reason Halle Berry won was to show the world that the USA was not racist -- so they could invade Iraq. That theory makes sense because I have been trying to figure out how in the hell they have an Oscar to a non-acting black woman for porn (and got away with it). What a shame :(
-
U Aholes are getting a bit carried away now, with the whole Halle can't act B.S. The problem with her character in The Xmen is the Storm character is poorly written. As well as underdeveloped. With the exception of Cuba Gooding, Jr's turn in that awful ass, Jerry McBoring movie, Oscars aren't just given away, to people of color.
The year Halle won, was'nt because she got nekkid it was becuase she's a bettr fuggin actress than Nicole Kidman. U tools R confusing it with the Oscar committees make-up vote for giving Denzel the nod over Russell Crowe's performance in A Beautiful Mind, where they'd snubbed Denzel a few years before.
Halle can act circles around three thirds the heffers in Hollywood. Including and Especially, Tinsel Towns Golden Geese, Julia "the red nosed" Roberts. The hell's she ever done to deserve an award? Except get married and divorced damned near as many times as J'lo? talk about ya hams. -
