low sense of self worth that collapsed into self-hatred through the reincarnation resurrection. Wrecking her things symbolizes that self hatred just as much as it is a metaphor for the reborn identity of a character that is neither villian or hero. if she loved herself & carried self-worth she might not have destroyed her sanctuary but instead simply altered the aesthetic of her home. yes it is sad to watch the demolition of childhood playfulness that represented a lonesome melancholy to it, as a way to cope with the harsh world, her nagging mom, no friends, & her morose & unfulfilled reality; but in order for the audience to enjoy the movie & scene, this childhood playfulness destruction has to be replaced with a hybrid feline/human variation of the mischievous playfulness of childhood, which the Catwoman embodies in an ambiguous manner

I was born in 1990 so I grew up watching Tim Burton's dark movies and being obsessed with them, so I prefer this version.

The acting and everything were mesmerising here. It really unworldly

[@nyashashahwe1414]

Has anyone else noticed that the exact same thing that happened in this scene to Selina Kyle from Batman returns was also the exact same thing that happened to Selina Kyle in Gotham where Bruce’s doppelgänger pushed her out of the window then she became Catwoman. I’m feeling so much Deja vu

[@TGM_Productions]

True. I think it’s a reference on purpose-

[@RaySchwarz.]

Yeah. I saw it and I was like "they took this from 'Batman Returns'"

[@trajoanmayberry3808]

That Was Rip Off

[@Paulaessiina]

They wanted to honor this scene!

[@Renzoluis99]

They honored this scene in Returns. They also honored the Catwoman claw circle to open the glass in the last episode of Gotham, which was from Batman the Animated Series. Catwoman did that in her very first episode on that show. The writers of Gotham are in their 30’s like I am. We grew up with this movie and this cartoon.

[@NextToToddliness]

In less than 10 minutes you can make a compelling character into an infinitely more Intriguing one, yet films these days need multiple movies, spinoffs and tie-in's. The art is on it's last breath.

[@tommygarson8592]

Michelle Pfeiffer perfected this role. no one else in the world could have done it

[@charlesmorello5641]

Fantastic how Celena is revive by the cats in order to be Catwoman... while bruce is transformed by the bats while he is still alive.

[@MaddyPertiwi]

The scene that made me cry the first time I saw it because so scary (I was 7-8 years that time). Scared with Selina's expression, the music... It gives me chills every time I rewatch it again.

[@marimoon7840]

I think I saw this scene like 60 times 🤩 This movie is awesome and no one will ever be a better Catwoman.

[@sit2go]

I know people love Heath Ledgers performance as Joker. But Michelle Pfeiffer did it first. One of the best movie villain performances in history.

[@Johnlindsey289]

She’s antihero

[@TDKiller415]

2:55 That relaxed "Ah" always gave me chills. No wonder Tim Burton was scared of casting Walken 😂😂

[@Yehoshua66]

Secretary gets murdered by boss- *becomes professional seamstress*

[@era7928]

hmm kinda old comment. she did have a sewing machine lying around, so i guess she is quite proficient with sewing/tailoring. the weird thing is how she is suddenly have acrobatic skills.

[@Highbudget]

Well yeah isn't that common knowlege? Happens all the time

[@cthonisprincess4011]

@@era7928 It's mentioned in the shooting script that she's actually been taking various classes, among which are martial arts.

[@Ladykyra101]

🤣

[@mdml0]

This iteration of Catwoman really worked. Not a cat burglar like the others but vengeful, playful, crazy, sensual, and attacked on instinct like a cat. Catwoman wasn't logical or practical or else she would've chosen a different attire and weapon. You need to be half-crazy to walk around in public at night in a thin pleather catsuit, heeled boots, and a whip. Michelle Pfeiffer made it work.

[@jaybeatz21]

Danny's score as she transforms is 😢♥️

[@LeviRodrigues77]

I love that line and that scene "I don't know about you, Miss Kitty but i feel... so much yummier" with that back song😁 Michelle Pfeiffer is my all time favorite, and the best Catwoman in my opinion!

[@allenindraradji4679]

Although she acted awkward & quite silly but this scene actually showed the clever side of "Selina". Manage 2 correctly guess the security password by observing stuffs on her surrounding.. 😊

[@jamiehartley4218]

but dont be an idiot and tell your boss that you hacked into his computer. And then dont be an idiot and drone on and on about all of the illegal stuff that you found lol

[@got2bjosh]

1:59 Always loved the sincerity of this moment. 2:57 Selina Transforms, Pt. 1 is fantastic. Michelle nails every moment she is on screen. 5:20 She really captures the terror, anger, and trauma that comes with not being able to escape toxic masculinity, bullying, and harassment. The memory of a life she doesn't want to relive and a personhood she doesn't want to revisit. 8:05 One of her many iconic lines.

[@_datacorrupted-3750]

Toxic Masculinty?? How old are you 13?

[@InsideOutsider81]

"toxic masculinity" lol

[@deananthony9124]

and the robot voice from the marketing call mentioned "your boss" triggered her into the breakdown, also carried a disturbing & harassing personal connection involving her loneliness & lack of success in finding a male romantic partner, thrusted her into insanity. not quite a broken heart but an unfulfilled one hankering to be loved by & to love someone special but all she has is a nagging mom, no friends

[@edwardmiguel653]

I like it when the light makes the shadow of her glasses look kinda like cat woman’s mask in the first comic

[@jozkokardos]

The way she sprays the doll house and then destroys it cracks me up every time 😂

[@acon2211]

Selina's rage and transformation really bring me to tears everytime. This is an amazing sequence. It's perfect. And Pfeiffer deserved SO MUCH MORE recognition after this performance.

[@kw-wf9uf]

This is some quality Burton. The lighting is so extreme and the shots so cramped and intimate.

[@TheonlyLarsNelson]

The differences with today filmmaking is vertiginous. We gain technology and lost depth, cinematography, music, creativity. These are the times for superficiality

[@roseg2239]

The acting is cringy.

[@yamammiwammi]

thats all i could think of watching this...the set design, the filming, the colour grading, all of it is so unique and so well done. today's films are so....blah. The acting/dialogue is a bit blah tho lol

[@sparksfly6149]

We didn’t, though. You’re just looking in the wrong places. No need to be ostentatious about it.

[@1vaultdweller]

Nah thats just Tim Burton. He always had his style and nobody even attempted to copy it

[@spencechan]

Nostalgia effect. Look up other movies released the same year and you'll find just as much junk as today. Like someone else mentioned, this has more to do with Tim Burton, than the era. Modern day directors, like Denis Villeneuve, still make stuff equalling or better than this level of quality

[@adsensedd]

Michelle didn't get enough credit for this, it's beautifully acted. I guess this was back before comic book movies were treated seriously. If she was in Nolan's films, she might have won a few awards.

[@nothanks1239]

My favourite cat woman, but she was incredibly dense. Going into your boss confidential files that are password protected, reading his diabolical plans and then telling him what you did is not the brightest decision lol 😆

[@thetoxicheart2899]

For me this remains as the best batman movie ever with the best portrayal of Catwoman's character. I love the dark comics theme and yet the season was Christmas. There's magic in this movie every time I watch it.

[@actionforanimals4862]

"I don't know about you Ms. Kitty but I feel so much yummier."

[@SB0780]

I love how all these clips capture the new 4K restoration Warners did on the film. I know the KZbin video isn't in 4K but it's the more filmic look their new transfer has. Film looks great.

[@Igor_ogi]

The best catwoman EVER! Hands down. She’s just perfect.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Yup her and best voice is Adrienne Barbeau

[@Hwasasthroneismyface]

4:00 You can't die now woman, you think my dinner will serve itself??

[@Nemiah]

She should've gotten an Oscar for this! She was sublime in every scene and angle, even when she acting opposite someone else you watch HER!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@defrank1870]

His power plant was vampiric.... and they shot this scene like he was dracula. Well done.

[@anandk.5590]

Ohh, Christopher Walken is here.. I remember his acting in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow...Tim Burton..Always great, all nice movies.

[@melodyaustria5710]

She's the best catwoman ever! The very word catwoman still belongs to Michelle Pfeifer.

[@hurmur9528]

I kind of liked Ana Hathaway as well. Hally Berry was a total disaster. The idea itself of a catwoman can easily go to far.

[@tormentorchick1755]

@@hurmur9528 Honestly, when it comes to A catwoman, there's a few ways she could be portrayed and there's not necessarily one right way to do it (unless we're talking about a specific character). Imo, Halle Berry's Catwoman was best, the script and directing could have been better; though, I still love the movie. Halle actually acted like a cat and had cat-like powers- which was amazing and made sense for her character. This Catwoman...doesn't really have powers it seems (maybe 9 lives and cat empathy), but she's an acrobat and has a 'cat-like' personality. Hope that made sense.

As a cat lover, I'm envious of having that many cats attending to me.
