Was that cat chewing on a real hand, or was it fake? This of course is in the scene where Selina is lying unconscious in the ally. I would love to know how they achieved that effect. It was so gruesome.

And more!

We had a topic about this somewhere. We speculated if the original cut of the film contained Catwoman's longer (feminist) speech to Batman while he's hanging off the ledge, per the script:

There's another reason why Pfeiffer fought the likes of Sean Young and Madonna for the part after Annette Bening dropped out. When the '60s Batman TV series began, Pfeiffer was just eight years old, and she looked to Catwoman as a major role model: 'She was both bad and good, and little girls are brought up to be good. There were some lines cut from the movie that I felt summed up the character: "Little girls are brought up to wear pink panties, and little boys are brought up to conquer the world." '

Was he onset? Should we look at that and take it as the scenes shown that were not in the final cut were filmed?

How are these graphic novels based on Bat-films made? It obviously was produced before the film was finished. Are they let in on footage beforehand? Story art? If there's lines that weren't in the film but in the script, does that mean those lines or scenes were filmed but cut? If you've read the BR graphic novel, you'll notice that the rooftop scene with Batman and Catwoman contains lines in the script but not in the final cut of the film. In the script, one of the drafts has the "Hello Here" sign scripted as "Selina Here" which then when broken says "Sin Here." I originally thought that maybe they changed it because it wasn't going to have to go through the comic code authority board, but then when I saw the script and saw that it was in there, I began wondering how much the novel writers are let in on before the final cut of the film is released. If they're just handed the script, it'd be impossible to draw the scenery accurately as shown in the film. They have to be handed or shown something. Maybe they're on set? Not all the scenery in the book is exact, but most of it is pretty spot on. It has a lot of extra scripted material and scenes not shown though.

Predictions? Who's in "The Dark Knight Returns"? That's what the film is heavily based on according to Snyder.

If you look closely, you'll see her run off, and you'll hear her scream.

We know that the original ending did not feature Catwoman looking up at the bat signal. Was Selina's running away as the sparks flew done by Burton to give people hope that she survived? I can't believe they had the stunt people standing there with all those explosions going off.

Anyone know what I'm referring to? It's really weird. It's right when she grabs the scissors. It sounds like someone knocking on the door.

Remember she said that she was getting ready for Bruce Wayne's meeting the next day to Shrek the night she's killed? Okay, she's shoved out the window, you know the rest. The next morning, the morning the Bruce Wayne meeting is to take place, we're instead shown Penguin visiting his parents' graves and making a spectacle out of himself for the media. We then cut to nighttime. Catwoman has her "first time" in the alley way. The next day, it's morning again, and Selina shows up for work. So the meeting that was due to take place, took place two days later -- but wait, the script actually called for this to be shot in the right order. Burton f'ed up. Catwoman did her "first time" the night of her transformation, which makes more sense.

Just cut the crap and bring back what everyone wants! What's the problem?!

It's the scene where Catwoman has the Ice Princess tied to a chair. Batman headbutts Catwoman in the head. She puts her hands on his shoulders and you hear a hit (maybe a kick), but you don't see it. Batman falls backwards. Did she knee him in the crotch?

I looked in the script, and it doesn't say anything as to what she did.

I've been trying to find out who did the photography. I love the style and the striking look. Anyone know?

A major one I recall is Catwoman cartwheeling through the department. When she jumps, the double's face is clearly visible. Side comment: the heels appear and disappear during the cartwheels. I don't know how that worked. The heels extend and then collapse with each flip.

I only know of one stunt double, but the others I've never been able to find. Who was doing the back flipping?

Does anyone know more about who did Michelle's stunts, and who did what? I wonder if any of them were men.

Michelle did a lot of fighting. I'm glad Burton made an effort to get her face on camera as she was kickboxing the crap out of Batman on the roof.

That recent video posted of the guy who did the costumes likening Michael Keaton using a stunt double whenever he's seen in the costume,  to Michelle supposedly doing the same thing, 'it's never her when you see her in the costume,' sort of ticks me off. It's obvious that she worked her butt off.

Was it simply a camera turned on its side? I've looked closely, and it's pretty convincing. Did they use a cord?

I found out years ago after searching through countless fabric web sites. 

I thought they were seam strippers, but it doesn't look to be the case.  Whatever they were, I believe they were nicknamed, cat claws.  What an amazing idea on the part of the costume designers.

Anyway, does anyone know what they're called?  It's definitely some sort of thing used for fabric.
