20 Best Performances In Superhero Movies

By Jack Pooley / August 15, 2018

16. Michelle Pfeiffer - Catwoman (Batman Returns)

When it comes to the sexiest performances in the superhero genre, virtually nobody can measure up to Michelle Pfeiffer's sizzling turn as Catwoman.

But Pfeiffer dares to go further than settle for a leather-clad sexpot, ensuring the deep existential pain of the character is never forgotten, and from first frame to last, Selina Kyle is a tragic "villain" who touts electrifying chemistry with Michael Keaton's Batman.

Best Moment: After Batman punches her in a fight, she shouts at him, "How could you!? I'm a woman!". Bats apologises, and Selina takes the opportunity to kick him in the gut. Classic Cats.
