: At least with Electra, she has a tragic past, whereas Catwoman is pratically a villain by accident, which is fine as part of a film, but not the whole thing.
: : I don't really know, when has it ever worked? But in saying that, in the last few years, people tend to cling to more negative role models. Maybe it's a sign..
: : : Seriously, it's not based on a comic, so you lose the comic fans. Altough she's one of the more well know Batman villains, could you really sustain a story with just her, especially when you change her identity and such the like? Audiences like a good anti-hero, but I just don't see how it can work.
: : : : I heard they aren't going to use real leather and replace it with spandex. No wait.. I did not hear anything. A movie about a woman who likes cats, who would even buy that?

: : : : : Why why why? Superb character in Batman Returns, but who here can honestly say she could carry a whole film? I honestly can't think who this appeals to. Then again, maybe it'll have sucess on DVD with 12 year old boys and copius amounts of Kleenex.
