Every Batman Movie Villain - Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Catwoman (Batman Returns)

She gets overshadowed hugely by Danny DeVito€™s excellent take on the Penguin (more on him later), but Michelle Pfeiffer€™s Catwoman €“ from Tim Burton€™s Batman Returns - is still worthy of our attention. Sultry, seductive and sinister €“ Pfeiffer€™s Selina Kyle is the greatest femme fatale that Batman has faced on the big screen so far. Burton gifted Pfeiffer with a brilliant - and pacey €“ origin story for Selina Kyle. She discovers that her boss (Christopher Walken€™s Max Shreck) is up to no good, and gets pushed out of a window for it. Cats lick her wounds, and she wakes up mentally unhinged... and hell-bent on becoming a vigilante. One memorable homemade costume later, and Selina begins exacting revenge on Shreck. She vandalises his department store and attempts to murder him numerous times. She teams up with the Penguin, too, to try and stop Batman. Despite not being the main threat of the movie, Pfeiffer€™s Catwoman is a formidable for Batman. Pfeiffer plays the vengeful role with aplomb, proving that causing trouble in Gotham isn€™t just a man€™s game. It€™s a shame not all the screen Catwomen are quite this impressive.
