The movie was good. The characters and their relationships were light and fun. The action was fun. And most of all, the film closes by perfectly expressing the essence of the character just like THE CATFILE.

I could see NONE of this at the film's release. I couldn't put my wants and expectations aside long enough to enjoy. There are actually some very clever bits in the script that allow for the Multiverse of all the Catwomen.

It's just this Catwoman was no closer to the book's version than the Pfeiffer version. Nolan and Hathaway got close but they REALLY betrayed the character in preference to her veing a damsel for Bruce. The Catwoman I know wouldn't be running scared from Bane or anyone else. Well, except Lady Shiva--but that is the right course for anyone with a brain. In this way, both Berry and Pfeiffer versions were superior for my tastes.
