"Catwoman" a spin-off of Batman Returns?

"...one of the most pointless movies ever made."

How right you are!

The funny thing is that back then everyone knew this movie was going to bomb  from the moment the first script details/news were circulated, the greenlighting of this version of Catwoman is one of the biggest questions of the Universe :p

There's this story that Basic Instinct 2 was made because the studio preferred to finance the film (with an allegedly 20 million budget) than paying court expenses and Sharon Stone for breaking some sort of contract, so I wonder if Catwoman has a funny backstory about why it was ever made

Thank God we still have Michelle Pfeiffer for us to identify her as the Catwoman (the real one, too)!

[Azrael]

Well, I reserve to say "Thank God" for far more serious things than a bunch of printed celluloid designed to make money for fat cats in the movie business, but I guess you're right.

(Yes, this classifies as thread necromancy, 4 years and 4 months, but there should be only one thread devoted to it)

The Nostalgia Critic just reviewed it.

EDIT:
Speaking of NC, he makes Batman references in many unrelated videos e.g. he reviews a movie with a designed city (like Super Mario Bros The Movie)? Batman's production design comes up. A scene with flying vehicles? Some footage of the Batwing pops up. Etc. etc.

Also, this is older, but still fun. James Rolfe likes B'89 too.

Unfortunately even the Catwoman movie they were gonna do (featuring Michelle Pfeiffer and Tim Burton) was a total pile of pants also. Go and read the script it's somewhere online. Shockingly it was even written by Daniel Waters. Pfeiffer made the absolute best choice possible dropping it like a bad habit...sad as that is. The only scene worth a damn was the very beginning which I believe would have been a direct follow on from "Batman Returns". After that it dives deeper than any Batsub. Featuring a bizarre plot about a small town (set I think in Nevada) in which all the women manufacture their own Catwoman suits to form a whole clan. Or something.

Sad thing about Halle Berry is I believe she could have been very good given the proper Catwoman role. She's very Eartha Kitt. Her backlash was harsh I think, if anything Sharon Stone was the absolute worst thing about that movie. Far cry from her days in "Casino".

The Nostalgia Critic? I thought he was dead.

The girl playing Hathaway in that video bears a slight facial resemblance to Julie Newmar. It's a pity they didn't play off that in the review.

A Basic Instinct 2, ideally, should have been made during the mid 1990's. Where Stone's star power, and sex appeal was at it's peak with audiences. Interest, at that time, would have likely been much stronger, and would have probably resulted in a better sequel than the one we got in 2006 where Stone, as a name as well as a sex symbol, was noticeably diminished.

Stone's role in Catwoman just made me think of the Matt Hagen/Roland Daggett plot in Batman The Animated Series, by having her character addicted to a 'unique' facial cream. But with the film being laughable on pretty much every front, I remember having the thought that Stone suddenly morphing into the Toxic Avenger during the fight scene with Halle, would have probably made the film slightly more bearable to watch.

I saw it last year while working out. I guess it wasn't as bad as I expected, it might be better than Batman and Robin. Needless to say it's not faithful to the catwoman mythology. But on its own as a film it isn't that terrible. Has a decent anti-hero backstory. The fight scene was brutal though.
