20 Things You Didn't Know About Catwoman

16. Where Does Catwoman Take Place?

Catwoman is not a Batman-related film, sadly.

This might lead to the assumption that it does not take place in Gotham City, but that might also be an incorrect assumption; the fact is that it is never confirmed either way.

However, wherever it is meant to be set, Catwoman's hometown here (like Gotham City) has both its attractive qualities and its ugly side.

Street-side cafés and restaurants gradually give way to slums and marshes, glittering high-rise skyscrapers can be seen from chemical plants spewing toxic chemicals into the harbour, and haunting melodies play in lavish opera houses whilst neglected wives languish in cavernous mansions.

The city is represented by a number of locations in downtown Los Angeles and in British Columbia and Surrey, Canada.

I started writing for WhatCulture in July 2020. I have always enjoyed reading and writing. I have contributed to several short story competitions and I have occasionally been fortunate enough to have my work published. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I also started reviewing films on my Facebook page. Numerous friends and contacts suggested that I should start my own website for reviewing films, but I wanted something a bit more diverse - and so here I am! My interests focus on film and television mainly, but I also occasionally produce articles that venture into other areas as well. In particular, I am a fan of the under appreciated sequel (of which there are many), but I also like the classics and the mainstream too.
