10 Things DC Comics Wants You To Forget About Catwoman

1. The Movie

Of course the movie is going to be top of the list. The only people reading this who didn't expect the Catwoman film to be #1 are the ones who spent millions on therapy to block out the memory that this abomination ever happened. If you're one of those people then... oops, sorry.

That being said, it almost feels like a cheat to put this on this list because, despite originally being conceived as a spinoff to Batman Returns, the film has absolutely nothing in common with Catwoman.

Instead we get the story of a woman named Patience Phillips (astute readers will notice that is not how you spell or pronounce Selina Kyle) who gets murdered by and evil cosmetics company and brought back to life by a magic cat. This gives her the abilities of a cat, which also apparently include worse fashion sense than 1950's Selina Kyle and the power to turn into a flailing mass of bad CGI whenever she jumps.

Everything about this movie is horrible, the Golden Raspberry-winning acting, the plot (which again, is about a magic catlady fighting an evil makeup company), the effects, the costume, the soundtrack and the acting and plot again because it is impossible to overstate how bad they are.

Thankfully there's no chance of any of that making it into Gotham City Sirens.

Wait a minute. Black Mask might be the villain of that film. He owned a cosmetics company in the comics.

Oh no.
