Catwoman is a 2004 superhero film directed by Pitof and starring Halle Berry, loosely based on the DC Comics character Catwoman.Patience Phillips (Berry) is a shy secretary with few friends who works at the Hedare cosmetics company. She learns that the company is developing an anti-aging cream that gives incredible results but comes with severe side effects — and is highly addictive to boot — but gets discovered and killed by her boss's scheming wife Laurel.Patience is subsequently brought back to life and given special, cat-like abilities by Midnight, an Egyptian Mau she earlier encountered and attempted to rescue. Now she must remember who killed her, find out why, stop their evil schemes, and come to terms with the changes brought on by her abilities, and use them for good rather than exploiting their potential for evil. | |

Canon Foreigner: There are absolutely zero characters in this movie originating from any point in DC Comics history. Not even Catwoman herself, whose secret identity is Patience Philips here as opposed to Selina Kyle. | |

Stripperiffic: Catwoman's revealing costume, a departure from the typical full-body catsuit. The making-of material reveals (no, not visually) that the top to the costume had a tendency to pop off — so often that it actually became annoying to everyone on the set. | |

She's fired on the spot and told to clean out her cubicle. Cue Patience walking down the street with obligatory cardboard box of office paraphernalia. | |

Adapted Out: Batman, Catwoman's nemesis and occasional love interest, does not appear nor get mentioned in the film at all. In fact, the same goes for literally every character connected to the original DC Comics stories; right down to Catwoman's usual alias, Selina Kyle. | |

Gender Flip | |
| Catwoman (2004) / int_34889673 | comment |
Gender Flip: Oddly enough, the closest thing in the film to any DC Comics plot element is the resemblance between Laurel's arc and the original Batman comics origin story for Black Mask, the male C-list Batman villain who became comics Catwoman's personal Arch-Enemy during her 2000s solo series. The concept of a literally addictive beauty product bears a resemblance to the origin story of Clayface from Batman: TAS. | |

Straw Feminist | |
| Catwoman (2004) / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: When Patience asks Ms. Powers why most people have been oblivious to the existence of the cat-women for centuries and why she's had little success proving it, she chalks it up to "male academia", rather than the fact that her ideas were absolutely ludicrous. It's unclear, however, if she's just being silly/sarcastic or if the writer feels we're supposed to side with her on this. | |

Stealth Sequel | |
| Catwoman (2004) / int_a4d8473b | comment |
Stealth Sequel: There isn't a direct connective tissue in terms of story, but the film's mythology implies that it takes place in the same continuity as Batman Returns. When Patience learns the origin of various past "Catwomen", one of them is shown to be Michelle Pfeiffer's Selina Kyle, and considering that both she and Patience have effectively have the same Origin Story (both were women who were seemingly killed before being "reborn" from cats), it can be easily read as this film staking a claim on retroactively explaining Kyle's backstory. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| Catwoman (2004) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: It's a mystery how Laurel and George presumably thought no one could possibly connect the extremely distinctive injuries or deaths of numerous people, who'd either just bought or regularly used their cosmetics, back to their company; or that if the truth did emerge they wouldn't be in serious trouble. Their justification is that the worst side effects — aka facial disintegration — only happen if you stop using Beau-Line, and they'll just make sure people keep buying it to be certain no one finds that out. Never mind the fact that they can't possibly control the spending habits of every single one of their customers, a lot of whom would naturally seek medical advice about the lesser side effects of the cream (like the headaches and fainting spells that eventually land Sally in the hospital), their skin gradually losing all sensation and becoming hard to the touch, and their faces melting if they stop using Beau-Line for whatever reason. Laurel even boasts about the cream preventing aging by making skin and flesh as hard as marble, and honestly seems to think that this is something people would want. Even in the unlikely event that no one died, there would still be a class-action lawsuit the likes of which has never been seen; particularly when any high-profile customers (who'd be able to hire top-notch lawyers) discovered that they were tricked into getting addicted to a product the company knew was dangerous before widespread release... and which they would still have to keep using if they didn't want their faces to be destroyed. In fact, if Patience had just done nothing at all, the regular authorities would still have taken care of everything in quick order. | |

It's A Small Net After All | |
| Catwoman (2004) / int_f09d379 | comment |
It's A Small Net After All: Subverted. When Patience Phillips looks up "cats" on Google, she gets a ton of irrelevant hits of little old ladies dressing their pet cats in ridiculous costumes. She then tries the more specific search "cat worship"; although this does cue a creepy plot-relevant montage of cat cults throughout history, the images she gets are believably of the sort you'd expect to get if you tried to search that on Google. | |
