Ranking Every Live-Action Catwoman From Worst To Best

8. Halle Berry - Catwoman

At this point, everyone is aware as to just how atrocious the 2004 Catwoman film was and its failure was due in no small part to its awful portrayal as the titular character.

Selina Kyle was out of the picture and a new Catwoman's backstory was done from scratch and done badly. Also her outfit was blatantly sexist, much the plot of the film itself, which is about Catwoman trying to take down the manufacturer of deadly face cream, something a class action lawsuit could have done just as easily and without all the terribly choreographed fight scenes.

The character was so poorly written that even someone as talented as Halle Berry couldn't make it work. The awful dialogue, and "comedic" moments were beyond campy and not in an endearing '60s Batman sort of way, but more of a "sitting through this is genuine anguish" sort of way.

Berry has even admitted how awful it all was, showing up to accept her Razzie in person to publicly apologize for this film, which she deserved much better than to be in. So, good on her at least.
