good god have you seen the new Catwoman costume???

[spyke]

if you haven't go to http://www.superherohype.com/catwoman/index.php?id=207 and its says the first look at catwoman its puuuurrrr-fectly fit for something for a porn flick

[Rad]

wow

[darkphoenix]

Well....thats certainly.....different. Michelle Phiffer (however you spell that) Looked SOOO much cooler. But hey, still cool. :D

[spyke]

its gotta be fake look at the eyes and look at how the mask looks painted on

[hb695]

When I fond the pic,I felt a bit scared and turned on by it at the same time *singing Hot Legs by Rod Stewart*

[MUZBNUTS]

Oh, gimme a break! Since when has Catwoman ever dressed like that?

[spyke]

never and don't feel bad about that hb695 same here

[jaguarin]

Excuse me but she looks like a hooker, I don't like it... why the producers always try to use the woman as an object???? I hate that, Catwoman as Michelle was much better.

A woman not needs be with out clothes to show that is sexy or intelligent, look Huntress and look Michelle.

:fume:

I was hoping they would go with the Ed Brubaker/Cameron Stewart version,but this?


Good thing they said there are 2 or 3 different suits in the movie.

[spyke]

yea on the shh boards they are hoping that that is a prototpe and not the real thing and that basiclly the samething I said after crawling out from under my desk when I got scared lol

[Jesse321]

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME !!!!

They should rename the movie ... S & M Cat-hooker from the South Bronx !!!

If I thought I would hate this movie before, I KNOW I'm going to hate it now.

[spyke]

it needs no mickey mose ears,boots,new pants a chest and whats with the belts going across her chest???

[MethyLBroMidE]

Unless her feet are tougher than human, I think the open-toes are impractical for street-fighting. I've had nails ripped off my toes in the line of "active duty".

[LordSerpentor]

Not exactly what you would call a good look.

I agree that the footwear is impractical, but don't like the costume in general. I do think it is hot and all that, but the costume is to hide who she is, this does not.

[Sxygrrl Huntress]

HB - STOP SPAMMING! Don't bump a thread unless you have something to SAY.

As for the outfit, I do like the pants a lot. I like the little tiger stripe cuts on the thighs.... meow! As for the top, it's sexy, but NOT for Catwoman!

[spyke]

yes it is "hot and all" but its not like her day job is whatever it is and her night time job is a hooler/stripper mostly hooker just take away the mask and thats what she is you know take away the mask and its almost pretty good

[DBZ_EXP]

SGH, I completely agree. They should get rid of the top and have the mask hide the face more. I think she has a lovely face but the mask just doesn't work for me.

Although I completely agree that the pants are "meow!" hot. They work, they don't give away any of who she is. They go with the name.

[AshDinaRachLvr]

That is the most retarded costume I've ever seen. And the mask........it looks HORRIBLE!!! All I have to say is, it better be fake!

[brazilian_boy]

I didn't like... she looked like a ***** as everybody already said... I don't think Cat-woman needs to show everything to be sexy and hot.... Michellle's Pheifer (speel??) costume was vary sexy and she looked hot, and it didn't showed almost nothing...... yeah, show something it's hot.. but you could not show and make her hot........ this movie is looking pretty bad... she's not the real Catwoman, she doesn't have the real name, she doesn't live int Gothan City, Batman it's not goona show up, and her costume is really bad..... why do they call it Cat-Woman?!?!?

[NightStalker]

uuuhhhhh... that's interesting. not really sure exactly what to say about that except that i hope the final product doesn't resemble the prototype. I mean, Halle's a beautiful woman, surely they can do better than that... that's just..well.. tacky.

[GoldFlyingMouse]

That costume is really funny !

I also found it interesting how the article brought up Eartha Kitt instead of/at the expense of J. Newmar who was actually the 1st original Catwoman. It is abit deceptive & slippery of them. They want us to aquate Berry more with a Kitt type image of Catwoman.

:fishy: :fishy: :fishy:

[Red Mask]

:shake: I'm ready to completely give up on this film.

They did say she was going to wear two costumes. This could just be an initial concept design, like when Spider-Man's costume was being developed. But this one reminds me of a 1970's black dominatrix, whose name I've forgotten. Maybe we'll get a surprise and learn she's really 'Jinx' from her James Bond role?

[DBZ_EXP]

Yes tacky, that is the perfect word for this costume, thank you NightStalker. It is like a costume for a Catwoman spoof, possibly of the adult arena. It does not belong in a DC movie.

[Jesse321]

Red Mask ... it wasn't the 70's, but I think you might be thinking of the Black Scorpion.

[Sxygrrl Huntress]

Damn! What the hell does she need a mask for??? Everyone will be too busy staring at her cleavage!

[jaguarin]

That is the grandaughter of Batman????

Any way, the costume of catwoman disapointed so many fans, is not good to the movie.

[AshDinaRachLvr]

Oh jeez, what utter cheesyness! Black Scorpion is even worse than the Catwoman costume!

[Jesse321]

You should have seen the movies ... and worse the THANKFULLY very short lived TV series.:rolleyes:

PS .. I just showed my better half the pic, he insists that its not Halle Barry, and he couldn't hold back the laugh when he saw it.

[AshDinaRachLvr]

I've never heard of it. If that's the best they could do with a costume, I don't even wanna kno what the show was like!

[jaguarin]

I guess that the person that design catwoman would be the son (daughter) of the man (woman) that designed that awful Scorpion bathsuit.

[Red Mask]

No, I'm thinking of this tall black woman with a crew cut and dull spandex. She was part of the pop culture back then, but I can't remember her name. Her costume also had these ridiculous arm bands. She could be seen at the discos or somewhere.

[ShadowWalker]

OH FOR THE LOVE OF FREDRICK!!! Thats awful!!!! She looks like one of those pin up poster chicks my brother has in his in his room that he had acquired from all his FHM mags!!!

[the panther]

LMAO! That's hilarious! I was already weirded put by the name-changing for the movie, and that it was supposed to have nothing to do with Batman. Then THIS comes along. Dear Lord. I honestly hope they can create something better than this. The mask is ridiculously huge and the outfit is ridiculously small. Can't they compromise the two?!

Oh, and to let y'all know, the ORIGINAL Catwoman was Lee Meriwether in the 1966 Batman movie.

[srfrgrl]

That is the worst Catwoman costume I have ever seen, she looks like she should be walking on 42nd street soliciting or in a porno movie! Give me a break! Michelle's costume was much better!

OH .. your thinking of Grace Jones !! She was the BOMB !!! I still love her to this day !!!

[NightStalker]

Does that even count as a costume, Jesse? Just looks like bad fashion sense to me. :shake:

[Jesse321]

NS ... that picture was taken in the 80's, if you remember none of fashions from that era would be looked at well by todays standards, but back then they were fun.

And let me tell you something about the esteemed Ms. Jones, she was one of the first WORLD famous black fashion models, her outragous sense of style set many a trend back in the day, if it wasn't for her there wouldn't be the likes of Neomie Campbell or Tyra Banks today.

Just take a look at her personal website, she is still setting trends in fashion, art and self expression to this day.

http://www.theworldofgracejones.com/

[Red Mask]

That's her! God, she looks more regal than Halle Berry. That is one dangerous woman. Oooh waa!

Panther, I hate to break the news to you, but actually NO she wasn't ... the first and original Catwoman was Julie Newmar who made her first appeared in season 1, episode 19 of the series entitled "The Purr-fect Crime." The movie was made after the end of season 1 and before the begining of season 2. Julie wasn't able to do the movie because of some sort of scheduling conflict with another project, but she even appeared as Catwoman again in several episodes after the movie.

[ELEKTRA]

wow well im not even going to see the Catwoman movie lol. But this is bad. That costume makes me re think dc universe and apperciate marvel.

[Lady Ribena]

i actully think the costume is really cool!

ok the mask needs some work, and sure no matter how much superpower you had you couldnt fight crime in that outfit

especiallt at night! her tummy will get all cold

but still it looks kinda cool, just needs some work

and this is patience price a new catwoman so she will have a differnt name

i just never thought patience would look like a down town dominatrix hooker

but still its kinda cool

[Frostbite]

Mmm... that Black Scorpion pic is hot!

[Jesse321]

That pic may have been the only thing from the series that was .. it was PITIFUL !!

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

wow.... um..... well, when i first saw it i said," WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?!" only because i was expecting something simuler to the Batman returns costum. But after a while, i looked at it and said," ahh, its o.k, not too bad." I think it can work. The only things i hated were those toe heels. Not because she can barely kick in them, but there just plan ugly! Also, the mask. What the hell is that. Her for head looks so huge its un beleivable. But everything else is great.

But, all ya'll who said it looks like something a hooker would wear and Michelle's was better......... What the heck ya think michelle was wearing!!!!! That cat suit she had on can be seen by hookers and strippers too. You cant tell me you wont go to your job wearing what Halle was wearing but would wear what Michelle was wearing. I like michelles costum better too but her suits as much as skanky as Halle's.

[Lady Ribena]

i might have said it was a hooker type costume

but i still like it

at first its like WHAT!!!!

but after awhile it look alright, what i hate is the people saying o the catwoman movie is gonna be crap. orrr iam not seeing it

i wish they would stop moaning. see the movie before you judge it. and i am really looking forward to it!!!!

[the panther]

Oh, thanks Jesse, I thought the movie came before the show. Oops. :rolleyes:

They really need to change the costume. I mean, they're making this movie as unrelated to the Batman universe as possible. Along with this costume, the name, the way she becomes Catwoman, and with no Bats in the film, they might as well make up a whole new supervillain/superhero.

[huntress18]

wow! t's very cute..:D:D:D i like it! thanks for this thing....

[DOCMIDNITE]

Can't Stop...:rotfl: Holy Crap:rotfl:
You have got to be kidding. Just an excuse to get Halle as Naked as possible.(Not that I mind that.....;) )
The pants aren't bad but the top looks like a demented Dominatrix. The mask is Waaaayyyy to big for her head. I agree with whoever said it is a fake...

[Lady Ribena]

i dont think its a fake it been all over the newspapers here

and on a morning chat show

i think its real

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Panther and whoever else, why do you keep thinking their even trying to make it come close to the Batman Universe?!!!!!? It has nothin to do with THE BAT UNIVERS, so stop thinking that your even gonna see a glimps of the bats. NO baterangs, no bat signals, not even a sidekick. NOTHIN!!! This is NOT Selina Kyle.

[spyke]

actually Patineince Price was Catwoman in the comic universe before so ur wrong

[Frostbite]

Originally posted by spyke

[spyke]

nope called the "pre-crisiss" story line she is from a comic and I heard it from the shh boards

[Frostbite]

Could you explain a bit further?

[Red Mask]

Originally posted by Batman'sCOUSIN

Who says she's gotta kick anybody? She's got two fists and a whip. And it's always faster to punch than kick.

[spyke]

sorry frostbite no I can't b/c thats all that I've heard of but I'll get right on iy looking for it

[brazilian_boy]

This Pre-Crisis thing if I remember right it was that a while ago (infact seveal years ago) the comics were going one way very diferent of what we see today (like this thing of Lex being friend of Clarck, it was in this time, or Huntress being the daughter of Batman, it was in this pre-crisis), but then, I don't know why, they changed everything, started I think almost everything again, and then we got what we know from today's comics.... it's something like that.. I can't remeber right....

Here's another pic from Halle as Cat-Woman, well... this is a decent outfit... very diferent from the previusly (spell??).... I think only the belt it's the same...
http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2003450327,00.jpg

For other pics and the report (again, spell??) go here http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2003450911,00.html

[Frostbite]

I still don't have any proof. It's all hearsay. What comics did she appear in? What was her origin? What did she do?

[the panther]

That new picture you posted, brazilian_boy, is much better than the original costume we've (well, not me really) been debating about. It's more like the costume from the new series. Much, much better than the first.

And, Batman'sCOUSIN, I thought that to be a bit rude of you. I'm just trying to point out that although the movie is by the WB, they're not even bothering trying to make it related to the Batman Universe (post-crisis). The WB owns DC Comics--what, they couldn't read ONE comic to find out anything about the real Catwoman (post-crisis)? LOL. Also, I haven't been thinking that I'd see a glimpse of the Bats, because that would sooooo screw up the Batman movie franchise if they had Batman in the film. I know it's not Selina Kyle.

And, thank you spyke for letting us know Patience Price is/was real. :D

[Frostbite]

Originally posted by the panther

[Red Mask]

I don't know if Patience Price existed before. But try look into printed books like the "History of DC", or any history books involving the character's creators and so on.

[spyke]

it was in the pre-crisiss era . that was also the time superman was superboy because he had gotten his powers when he was a baby

[Jesse321]

Sorry guys, but Frosty is right on this one ... I've been reading Marvel and DC comicbooks for over 30 years and I can tell you FLAT OUT ... that Patience Price NEVER existed in any book that I ever read, pre or post Crisis, even as a secondary charactor.

Spyke, if you say she exists .. get me a book title and number and I will find it.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

THANK YOU!!!! I knew it!!!

Spyke, i'm not wrong

Panther, take it anyway u want, rude or not rude, i was only saying that u AND everyone else who expects this to be a Batman related Catwoman movie, its not!!!!!! And also, the picture brazilian boy posted is just the same costume as the original exept with a leather jacket.

[Sxygrrl Huntress]

Batman'sCOUSIN - don't be rude to the other members. This board is about mutual respect here, please be conscience of that. Thank you.

[spyke]

ok I've been lnto the pre-crisis thing which is totally confusing for me and I admit that I am wrong but hey don't blame the messenger

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

I'm not being rude. They took it that way. If I was being rude I would've wrote in all CAPS. I'm just tryin to prove my point like everyone else.

[Grae Leigh]

to me she looks like some SM porn star, that sucks, looks awful, it's vulgarn, untasty and is she supposed to kick ass ? .... :boxing:

Good thing Michelle Pfeiffer isn't in that one, she's way too classy for it ....

L8Rs !

[Mor Cartel]

Well... The movie's definitely gonna attract alot of male fans!

The worst part about this is, people aren't even going to see it for the movie- they're only going to see Halle Berry half naked. It just makes me sick.

[the panther]

Okay, so now, we all DEFINITELY know Patience Price never existed. Glad to get past that argument. LOL.

And not to start anything, I just want to let you know, Batman'sCOUSIN, that even if you didn't mean to be rude, I took it as rude because of the multiple exclamation marks.

Also, BC, thanks for pointing out it was the same costume. Just adding the jacket does WONDERS for the costume! LOL.

[Darkstryke]

Okay yes the costume is very umm I'm gonna say edgy so not to offend anyone and yes for fightin she'd trip running and fall on her face...or that over sized mask. But the one thing we have to remember is the thigns you all have been saying. This is not Selina Kyle...we are all aware Selina has a more conservtive sexy side but hey Patience Price probably would dress like that and I like that pants and the top sort of but it should be more midriff and less bra, and the shoes have got to go and why is she wearing red polish with black leather? Okay thats all I got for now except for I love the whip and some artist should putn Ashley's face on the catwoman'sbody or something to see how it would look.

[AshDinaRachLvr]

Alright people, THAT IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT the Catwoman costume!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a pic of the REAL costume in this weeks US magazine.

It's even more disappointing than this one. It's basicly a Huntress costume. Just black leather. Pretty boring.

[Darkstryke]

Well they used the photo in this thread in celebrity justice last night. so there*sticks out tongue*

[spyke]

can you pst a pic of it???

[AshDinaRachLvr]

Turns out there's going to be TWO costumes. This is the best I could find:

http://www.efavata.com/CBM/CatWoman.htm

Also on that site, it says Halle may be trying to get out of the sequel clause. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Grae Leigh]

sorry sorry, i didn't read all posts before sending mine, so i didn't know about that Patience Price, i'm not into comic universe so i apologize.

Still, the costume version 2 looks weird and some SM thing. Oh well i'm sure they got plenty of volunteers to be cast :eek:

"The costume will be upgraded as they say" = they upgrade to untasty and less clothed ..... weird no ?? :rolleyes:

L8rs !

[Girl of justice]

Oh dear god... Sorry to say this, but the new costume is horrible.
The one that`s in the BOP intro was so cool, and then they come with this... So NOT cool!

[Derek Quinzel]

I have given up any hope for the success of Catwoman.

Will I see it? Will I buy it? Only because of the BAT-related material.
Will I like it? Probably not from the descriptions and pics.

[spyke]

u know what u all r doing? Judging a book by its cover not even giving it a chance for hope.ppl do that for alot of movies that have bad pre-production but ten when they go see the movie they sa that it is great

[Grae Leigh]

u got a point, but it's everyone's choice to do so. In this case, I say that i might not go see it because i don't like the costume and since the movie is about this Catwoman, we might see it a lot, right ?
Besides it has not been shot so far, and it will be up to those who view it to spread the word if it's any good. Like it works for anything, movie, tv show, books, ...

As for bad pre-production, it often leads to disaster, Matrix being one excellent example, just like Underworld.

L8rs !

[tnewebmaster]

that is sexy, but it is horrid for the Catwoman image... :(

[cateyes]

I think that Catwoman looks like a hooker. And I agree with Jaguarin. Girls don't have to show every inch of their body to prove their beauty or intelligence. And also, the second costume does look just like the first one, only with a jacket over it. The pants of the costume aren't bad, but they're not what Catwoman is supposed to look like, either. I liked the suit they had at the beginning of BOP, and this suit is in no way Catwoman. I hate it.

[Frostbite]

But it's not Catwoman! It's just a character whose name happens to be Catwoman!

[spyke]

that doesn't matter what if Man-bat was named batman

[Frostbite]

My point exactly.

[cateyes]

But if they're going to use the name Catwoman, they should keep it the same Catwoman we've always known. This new spin is just ruining everything about it. How stupid can you get? Why make a whole new character with the same name? I hope the movie flops miserably.

[Frostbite]

I give you the example of Green Lantern:

In the 1940s, a Green Lantern was created. He achieved mild fame.

Then, in the 60s, DC created a new Green Lantern, similar to the 40s version in name only. Until about a year or two ago, he was the most recognizable and most popular Green Lantern (now John Stewart, the GL from Justice League is).

[spyke]

I had a brain rush yesterday while I was bored in u.s. History and maybe the reason they didn't have the Selina Kyle Catwoman is because they thouhgt they would have to put Batamn in too which is a big mistake Catwoman can make it on her own and doesn't need Batman.

[Grae Leigh]

spyke/frosbite that makes sense but i still don't get why they would use the name and nothing from the background story? What's the point?

I think they'd use a little more brain and really think hard before launching that kind of prod. They mess up with everyone, confusing them, i'm not sure that serves them, no ?

L8rs !

[spyke]

BREAKING NEWS,THIS JUST IN (KINDA) FROM THE SHH HOMEPAGE

www.superherohype.com/catwoman/index.php?id=269 its basiclly the whole interview that was last night from The Late show with David Letterman and here Hallie talks Catwoman I let you read it so YOU can find out why I am mad about it I'll give you a hint IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!

[Frostbite]

It makes perfect sense! I don't see how you don't understand it.

[AshDinaRachLvr]

Catwoman Movie News!!!


I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but the Catwoman teaser trailer will be shown at select screenings of The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King. Just thought I'd let you know.

[spyke]

I heard that on superhero hype but yea its true the teaser for CW WILl be shown for the lord of the rings sequel

[brazilian_boy]

Ok... so you all wanna laugh?!?!?!? look the new pics of Halle as Catwoman with that costume... they did some little changes... but it is still ridiculis...... here's the link http://www.cinecon.com/news.php?id=0310164 but you better hurry, because Warner is asking to the websites remove the pics..... but dude..... it is TOO funny these pics...... God.... she looks like mickey mouse with that mask.... how.. I repet, HOW? can someone think that's a good thing?!?!?!?

[spyke]

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: oh my god she looks so stupid:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: . The caption for that picture should be "Catwoman meow I'll scratch you with my fake nails!"

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

O.K, aside from the stupid lookin nails and the big head, these pictures look SEXY. I'm not even gonna hate on those pics. She looks damn good. Shoot, even the toe heels look alright from that angle.

[AshDinaRachLvr]

Oh wow! Those are terrible! The mask is bad enough. But now they've got those ridiculous gloves. I think they're TRYING to make this movie as stupid as possible.

[DBZ_EXP]

It is far to trashy, and I have yet to see it on any offical sites. ofcourse, if anyone knows an offical site to look for it let me know.

[brazilian_boy]

There is no oficial site to see the pics, but superhero hype (http://www.superherohype.com) usually get new pics from the set at least once in a week, or they put a link to Hollywood north report (http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com) who has the pics.

About the costume.. the pants and shoes are cool, it's not very real but very acceptable, but the rest is to bad... the mask is too big, the gloves with the white thing are stupid....... and her shirt.. oops, I forgot, she only wear a bra :rolleyes:

[spyke]

ok again I change sides on the film. Now I vote no on seeing the Catwoman film.

[Lady Ribena]

iam actully liking the costume now and did you read about the story she is one of 9 catwoman in the world, i guess selina kyle is one of them two, sounds really interesting

[Emalynn Eleriel]

This just gets stranger and stranger. 9 catwomen? Patience Price? I don't know. I DO know that if my parents see any of those pics I won't be going to see that movie even if I change my mind and decide to go! Considering they put that pic in TIME magazine a few weeks ago, it looks like that, um, costume is here to stay.

[Sxygrrl Huntress]

Well they do say cats have 9 lives. They never did specifically say that EACH CAT has 9 lives. Maybe 9 cats live the same life :D

[spyke]

I've heared that rumor like a ....whats the word oh yea renincarnated I think that is how you spell it but I still hate that idea if there IS actually 9 Catwoman

[brazilian_boy]

Well, according to a new Halle interview, she is the sixth Cat-Woman, and her character make her own outfit (at least that's what I undesrtood), about the costume, she said:

"She has leather pants. She has a mostly bare top made of belts. She has a bandanna wrapped around her head with cat ears on it."

Well.. that's why her mask it's terrible...... because it's not a mask..... it's a bandanna..... with cats ears on it of course.... well.... here's a link if you would like to hear the interview

http://www.comingsoon.net/audio/audio.php

[Jesse321]

I saw a preview for Gothica .. its got a very interesting premise and it looks quite good, might be worth a matinee.

[VOXMAN41]

Just got the new wizard magazine and my god. Not only is the cat costume bad(as in stupid) but they did major tweaking with the origins. I don't know if the online version is out yet, but check out wizarduniverse.com to get the story. Also a good article on Christian Bale as Batman.

[Jesse321]

"major tweeking" .... what major tweeking ??? In order to majorly tweek something you would have had to have started with the original concept Vox. They didn't even start with that, they started with this whole pile of cow dung and god only knows where its going to end up. :laugh:

[Frostbite]

I read in an article that in the movie, Patience will say something like, "There's this really great Catwoman over in Gotham."

[Jesse321]

Where was that FB ?

[Frostbite]

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/featuresnews.php?id=2338

[Jesse321]

Very cool .. thanks, I can honestly say, thats actually the first good thing I've read about this production.

[Lady Ribena]

its just a movie

anyway i cant wait to see it, iam gonna go in with a open mind, if its a good film then i will say well done, if it isnt good i will say bad movie, and then get over it and go watch a other movie

because come on people its just a film afterall,

[DrayvensCrow]

Wie Getz, Everyone!

I know its been a while, but I just had to weigh in on this one. OK, so the costume looks like it just came from a Jenna Jameson feature, the story is not DC established continuity and the pics in Wizard don't look even remotely like Halle Berry! But I'll give it a chance on the possiblity(scant as it is)that WB actually does Cats justice with a different spin on our girl Selina (Yes, I know it Patience, not Selina). But if they screw it up, I'll be one of the first to let them know. (flashbacks of Superman IV........:shudder:........)

[Jesse321]

Lady Ribena, I'm editing this post to repond directly to you and to BC and a few others who have "choice comments" about fanboys and "Those who don't like things changed."

Normally, I could just rant as I sometimes do, but I'm going to try something a bit different here, I'm going to try and make you see the world my way, so just bear with me, I promise I will try my best to make you understand.

*********

First off, I'm 40 years old (which makes me probably one the oldest here LOL) I've been reading comicbooks since I was 6 years old, well thats not entirely true, I couldn't read english (or much less anything else) at that time, but when I was 6 my mom bought me my first comicbook at the local 7-11 .... it was love at first sight. While I know that might sound ridiculous to some, comicbooks opened up a new world to me, in these little monthly periodicals, people could fly, travel in space, travel through time, see living dinosaurs, breath underwater, run at fantasic speed, control the weather, read other peoples minds, move things by just thinking about it ... in short they made everything possible to me.

I was reading Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Legion of Super-heros, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Spiderman, Avengers, Justice League,The Flash before alot of people on this board were even born. Heck, I was reading these books before alot of the heros of today were even created, I was THERE when they were born !! I remember one of the proudest moments of my life was when I was 15, I got my first part time job and saved up all my money for a year, my first MAJOR purchase Spiderman # 1, then X-Men #1, and so on and so on. It took me YEARS, but I got all the first editions of every book that I could afford no matter how long it took me to save for it.

To this very day, even though I'm 40 years old, every Wednesday after work, that same 6 year old boy that still lives inside me comes out to play. I come home with my bag of books lock myself in my bedroom and don't come out again until I've digested EVERY WORD in each book, most Wednesdays I don't even eat. I've been doing this for over 25 years and I will keep doing it till the day I die !!

For me (and alot of others just like me) these "movies" aren't just movies, they are the culmination of years of dreams coming true, the chance to actually see the heros and villians we've loved and grown up with come to life in front of our eyes!! These movies are pieces of my childhood brought to life on the big screen. I remember when Superman the movie first came out, I saw it 10 times in its first week of release. Ther first time I saw the movie, I was brought to tears and fury when Lois was killed in the Earthquake and almost few out of my seat when Sups turned back time to save her, same with Batman, same with both X-Men movies.

So when someone takes something that meaningful and sacred and butchers it, I take offense. To me they are saying, this isn't worth doing like this, we can make it better, while sometimes they do add a few things like with the X-Men feature films, they more often than not slaughter the charactors and storylines that have lived for decades in the hearts of the fans, as has been the case with most of the last comcibook based movie projects.

You want some REAL HEROS folks .. think about this .. how many people have made thier livings off of Super-heros, think about it, not just the comic book companies, writers, artists, inkers, colorists and editors, but printers, binders, distributors, exporters, shop owners ... thats a WHOLE lot of people. So, while these "movies" (and TV shows) might just be way for you to kill some time on a saturday afternoon or evening, they are MUCH MUCH more to alot of us.

Does that make me a nerd of a geek boy, in alot of people's eyes ... I would expect it probably does, but this is one nerd geek boy that will DEMAND that these charactors be treated with the respect that they deserve.

And finally, just remember, if it wasn't for us fanboys, these projects would never have even seen the light of day, because in most cases, it was the fanboys turned producers, directors, and special effects technicians that created them in the first place !!

I've said my peace, I hope that this gives you guys a bit of a clearer view of us "fanboys." I'll get off my soap box now.

[brazilian_boy]

Well, did anyone read the new Pitof interview where he says he's NOT reading much the comicbooks because he don't wanna be influenced (spell?) by them? and that he loved the costume? and that the movie won't be dark, they will try to make humor? and that will be a lot of action? well.... this remind me of a movie called Batman and Robin, where there were crap costumes, humor, not dark, not faithfull to the comics...... wow.... this movie is gonna rock!!!!! :devil:

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

:noangel:IT SURE IS!!!

And the costums on B & R were tight.

[Jesse321]

BC, I could be wrong here, but if BB was comparing CW to B&R, I think that he was being sarcastic in saying that this movie has any hope of even being tolerable much less good.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

I know, and I was being smart, saying "IT SURE IS":noangel:

[Lady Ribena]

jesse i get what your saying, i have been a fan of catwoman ever since i was little, wehn me and my cousins watched batman retuns about a million times every week, and i loved catwoman, hell i pretended to be her many of times, and sure im a bit sad and angry that they are not doing a catwoman film featuring selina kyle, but hey what can i do? this is the movie their gonna make and no one can stop them. anyway it might be good

its iam just im sick of people who say a movie is crap before they even see it.

people are to quick to judge, what would happen if the catwoman film is brilliant? huh huh, then you will be sorry

just keep all the insults down, till you have actully seen the movie, then after you can insult it all you want people

its good to keep an open mind

[VOXMAN41]

Well the pic in Wizard mag makes me cringe. Everything but the cowl is cool. The mask just doesn't look right.

[Jesse321]

Are you kidding ?? the Mask is the ONLY thing that looks right on that outfit. Those torn leather pants are horrible !!

Lady R, the reason that I and alot of others are insulting the movie is because so much information on it has leaked out to people hwo know where to look for it, or to people that know comics. And anyone that falls into either of these cataroies knows that this movie is going to be a travesty to the legend of the real Catwoman, basically its a vehicle for Halle and nothing more, but to keep everyone happy, I will curb my insults until its released.

But and this is a BIG BUT ... if when the movie comes out it turns out to be as bad as I think and say its giong to be, BOY are you guys that supported the project going to get a ear full for me !!! :laugh:

Deal ??

[VOXMAN41]

I'm not crazy about the outfit as whole but the mask looks to big for head. And this egyptian origin? what's up with that?

[hb695]

[DrayvensCrow]

Congrats, Jesse!

Saving the world for the Wizard readers everywhere! LMFAO
The egyptian origin? Do you think maybesomebodyread the Hawkman series instead? :rotfl: Oh, well....it could be worse.....they could have gotten Celine Dion to play Cats! " 'ello! My name eez The Cat-Whoaman!" :rotfl: JK to all the Celine fans!

[Jesse321]

OH god could it get any worse ?? Celine as Selena ....... AAUUUGGGGGHHH !!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Lady Ribena]

celine as catwoman, now thats a movie! it would be so funny, she could fight people then sing cheesy love songs

[SevenSlave]

Check out the claws on this puppy ...

[Jesse321]

Both those pictures come from the new EW which is the preview for the 2004 film year. The recent cover was also voted the most hidious by the readers (including myself) of the magazine.

[Red Mask]

I'm afraid this will not be the end of it. We've still got months left until the premiere.:(

[SevenSlave]

She looks like a dominatrix "Creature from the Black Lagoon"! :laugh:

[Lady Ribena]

it will be nice to see how this woman can jump buildings in those shoes!!! you cant even run in shoes like, trust me i no.
is it strange that i actully quite like the costume?

i hope they dont do a batman returns you no selina is doing back flips in the shop and she suddenly she isnt wearing big high heels her shoes are flat. but then when she stops her shoes are high heels again.

[Meta Master]

Catwoman comes out in a month?!?!?!? WOW!!! I havent seen preveiws. that is such a bad outfit. This movie is gonna suck so bad and i am friggin pissed at story, character, no continuity and NOW outfit!!!!

[spyke]

where'd you hear that? we still have 193 days of peace before it comes.

[Meta Master]

Red Mask said that weve still got a month til premere

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

UM, no sir buddy. Pick up your face because he said MONTHS!!!:rolleyes:

The photos that SS gave acually made me love the costume better. My point of view still stands.
>Hate the toe heels*cant even kick anyone with them*
>Heads too big
>... and I've changed my review on her nails. I used to not like them either but who will freggin notice them in the movie anyway. Your acually gonna sit there and watch out for her fingers????
EVERYTHING ELSE IS SEXY, FANTASTIC, & SASSY;););)

LR, I noticed that too about the high heels. I always notice that in movies. The pause/slow botton is my friend:hand: I always use it if I see something I never noticed before. But anway, they do that in all female movies with Women in heels. They do the easy stuff, with wires and crap, with heels on but when they do something hard or with more action they give them flat shoes. Its kinda like a stunt double for their feat. Go watch both Charlies Angels movies. You'll see what I mean.

P.S love the back shot in SS Catwoman links.

[Meta Master]

Oh im sorry!!!! i am not awake!

[Lost Kitten]

Just so you guys know (incase you didn't) they aren't doing this movie off of Selina Kyle Catwoman..Ya know comics,Batman film?But I like the costume..I think Halle is a hottie....Now it would be better if they did the original Catwoman ya know? But I can't have everything so I'm gonna go with what they're giving...Plus I'm getting shitloads of Catwoman comics and have the Batman film where she was in it...I'm happy.....I'm going see the movie..From everything I've heard off of Super Hereo Hype it sounds cool......

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Oh they know. Beleive me, we've been telling them for a while now but some of them cant stand the truth or just dont wanna believe it.:shrug:

[Lost Kitten]

"Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry), a woman who can’t seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy.

What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wild cat, she’s dangerous, elusive and untamed.

Out to settle a few scores, Catwoman’s adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city.

Oscar-nominee Sharon Stone plays beautiful cosmetics icon Laurel Hedare and Lambert Wilson is George Hedare, Laurel’s pompous husband and owner of Hedare Beauty."

There thats what it says the movie is about over at SSH! I think it sounds ok ...

[Meta Master]

It sounds like the same creation as Returns!!!! GOD!!!! I am so friggin pissed! The WB should have just gone with Tim Burons damn idea about continuity from That!

[Jesse321]

Getting the comics is only going to disapoint you MORE when this piece of crap comes out, cause your going to know the REAL version of Catwoman and then your going to go and pay good money for this load of tripe ... your just setting yourself up for a huge let down.

Frankly, I hope this movie TANKS like a brick at the dead center of a mile deep lake ... and I have a funny feeling I'm going to get my wish .. it will likely be #1 opening weekend and then will quickly disappear onto a dustcovered shelf at Blockbuster where it belongs ... but even that is giving it more credit than it deserves.

The only reason its even being made at all it to give the mothers of prepubesant teenage boys a reason to scream "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE AGAIN" in front of locked bathroom doors.

[Lost Kitten]

Its not really MY money cuz I'm not gonna be paying for it in the first place.....And the theater I am going to leaves the back door open all the time, free movies.....But if you think its gonna be crap then hey, thats your opinion....Now see I haven't got any Catwoman comics yet so I don't know and if it dissapoints me oh well its not something I'm gonna dweel on....I've seen a bunch of movies that look really good and are crap...Doesn't bother me..Either way its just a movie I don't see what the big deal is...

[Jesse321]

The big deal is that this movie has nothing to do with Catwoman .. they are just using the name to get people in the door and when people find out it has nothing to do with Catwoman they are going to be ticked off. Remember, not everyone follows movie projects, especially superhero (or villain) based ones the way we do here, most people don't even know a movie is being made until they see previews at thier local theaters, unless there is a huge amount of press or hype about it.

My point is ... if your going to make a Catwoman movie .. make a Catwoman movie, if your going to make a movie about a woman that dresses like a cat, then name it something else. It's called a "bait and switch" you think your getting one thing and when you get there its actually something else that bears no similarity at all to what you thought you were getting in the first place.

[Meta Master]

I like the way you put it Jessie...well done.

[Lost Kitten]

I'm agreeing with you on that one Jesse...But then again my curiosity is making me go and see the movie....Oh well thats just 2 hours of my time occupied....

[spyke]

yep. thats why I'm going to see it.

"I mock you with my monkey pants!"

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

My thing is why are you people forever coming back and saying the same thing over and over again. Jesse, hates it because they did'nt make it like the comics and other personal type reasons............ok, we get it. MM, you just keep yelling and yelling on and on about the costume. Kinda like Spyke but not that much. It seems like everytime someone else pops up and says this movie looks good or the costume looks o.k, ya'll pop up and say the same thing over and over again. Just calm it down people. You all know your gonna see the movie anyway:D
So I'm pretty sure Halle Barry and the other cast and crew are'nt worried about these coments because there still getting money anyway.:noangel:
And I might be wrong but did'nt you(Jesse) say sometime ago that you would'nt say anything else bad about this movie until it comes out. And then when it so called FAILS you would rub it in our faces forever?!!?! Yet your still here saying you hope it TANKS......

[Lost Kitten]

How bout this ??? We not say anything untill the movie comes out and you've seen it...Not freak out over the costume, and whats said on the internet and SHH!(which I believe mostly has been coming from people on the set of the movie)and then if the movie does tank,then everyone who said it will and are freaking out over a costume can rub it in our faces....
Its just a movie..Even the people who are so pissed off about it are going to go see it so they can rant and rave about how crappy it was...Its like the Howard Stern thing..Even the people who hate him still listen to him....

[spyke]

I'm goning to see it. Just like I'm going to rent House of The dead tomorrow.(Think thats when it comes out)

"I mock you with my monkey pants!"

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Good idea LK but people on here constantly say that and we stay quiet for a good month maybe but then it starts right back up when someone see's or here's some news on it. But I'm all up for it. Like maybe not sayinging anything else till we atleast see some commercials.

[spyke]

We're getting one with the superbowl.

"I mock you with my monkey pants!"

[Lost Kitten]

Yeah like some trailers or something...Which I've also heard they are gonna be played during the SuperBowl...Which everyone at my house will be watching....But its like that whole don't judge a book by its cover thing....Cuz well thats what everyones doing...I don't know...:shrug:

[Emalynn Eleriel]

That'd be interesting to see, if the superbowl isn't on fox this year, we only get sound for that channel. The costume is ugly and we all know why they made it like that. They say curiosity killed the cat, but it just might save this movie. I don't think I'll like it but I'm still curious.

[Jesse321]

BC .. this movie was NEVER supposed to be or have anything to do with the comics, so my only question is this ..

If the movie has NOTHING to do with the charactor or the comic .. why are they using the name and make some people think they are getting something other than what they are getting ??

And by the way .. great SELECTIVE memory you have there, but since you didn't care what I said back then, I feel justified in repeating myself.

I HOPE IT TANKS LIKE A BRICK AT THE DEAD CENTER OF A MILE DEEP LAKE !!! :laugh:


PS .. and by the way, I didn't say OUR (meaning everyone's) I specified YOURS (as in YOU ALONE) ;)

[SevenSlave]

FWIW, The official "Catwoman" web site is up ... (http://catwoman.warnerbros.com/)

So far, it only has the logo.

[spyke]

Have we heard anything good about Catwoman? If somebody has I'd like to hear what.

"I mock you with my monkey pants!"

[Jesse321]

It finished filming on time and under budget. That's not something you hear about in Hollywood very often.

Also thats a pretty cool logo.



There that's two good things ... how's that ?

[spyke]

Well considering all the bad things we've heard about it. Those are nothing.

[Lost Kitten]

Well heres the unofficial site http://www.x3movie.net/catwoman/index.html
Any one whos really curious can go look at it......

[spyke]

you know what's bad? The unoffcial site had more than the official site.

[Jesse321]

LOL .. that really is sad.

[spyke]

Yes that is very sad. The people who are making the film can't keep up with the fans. Very sad indead.

I wish we had sigs back. It's hard to remember to do this.....

"I mock you with my monkey pants!"

[srfrgrl]

Get the new Entertainment Weekly, its on the cover unfortunately and looks really really bad!!!!!!

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

The UNoffical site is tight. Thanks for that LK. Like I really give a da** if its UN offical or not.:rolleyes:

Jesse, .............because they CAN DO THAT!!!! Your not gonna stop them, and there not gonna change what they like because of some others who dont agree with the story/script. Not everyone is gonna think the same when they see a different Catwoman. Most people either dont care or there o.k with it. They have every right in the world to change the character and noone can stop them. Obviously they already got premision from WB/DC comics. So there free to do whatever. And I really dont give a dam* because I already seen Catwoman in a live movie. Shake dem hata's off.

Can you quote yourself on that?:nono: U were responding to LR when you said you were gonna rub it in our/your faces.

[Jesse321]

I posted a link to the cover of the new EW, its even more hidious full size, I never thought I would ever see the day that I would actually say that Halle Berry looked hidious, but she does, at least in that picture.

BC .. maybe I did say everyone, but I will get the most pleasure from rubbing it in yours when it tanks. :laugh:

[srfrgrl]

It is a shame to take a good looking lady like Halle Berry and make them look like something out of an S&M movie! I think they should have went a little more traditional instead of dominatrix!

[Lost Kitten]

Some of the people who will probaly see the movie don't know the first thing about Catwoman.....Some might have seen that one Batman movie with Michell Pheifer in it, but thats it really..Not everyone follows the comics or has seen BoP.....I can say the only people I know who have seen BoP are the people who read comics,play video games,or watch Buffy&Angel and at one point saw it......

[Jesse321]

Not really LK .. lots of people have at least some idea of what Catwoman is (or should be about) she has been featured in TONS of Batman projects from the 60's shows to every animated cartoon version and the movie version which you mentioned. Anyone that has heard of Batman more than likely has heard of Catwoman.

[Lost Kitten]

Thats what I was saying if they know Batman then they'll know who Catwoman is.......But not everyone has really paid that much attention to Batman...

[Jesse321]

No, that's not what I was saying at all, I was saying that more people know or at least have an idea what Catwoman is (or should be) about than you think because there have been more projects with her in it than your mentioning.

[Lost Kitten]

Ok so maybe there is...I haven't seen but a few I guess....I don't know everything that Catwoman was in...I only know what I mentioned and the other things that I'm guessing has to do with Batman...But whatever....

[Vertigo]

I have seen this before when i was looking at info about the new catwoman movie ::nods::

[Red Mask]

This really bites. How would fans feel IF a Xena movie was made 15 years from now, but she's nothing like the tv series? Instead of a Greek warrior princess what if she was an Anglo-Saxon in a midieval knight's armor? And there was no Gabrielle. Would people say the WB was right to do that? (By the way, I'm not joking about Lady Gwen of Pendragon.):mad:

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Rub all u want Jesse, but its not gonna make me feel bad. Like plenty have said. Its just a movie. And LK is right. Not everyone knows about Catwoman. Unless any of us has been around America/World and have asked every single person in it and can prove it, none of us knows who does and who does'nt know about Catwoman. Mostly lil kids are probably gonna see the movie because thats how most kids are with hero/comic movies. How do you know they dont know anything about Catwoman yet?

RM, they probably would be as pressed as some people who dont like the Catwoman movie. But what u discribed is nothing like Catwoman. All they did was take her name, outfit style, & wipe. The story/legacy/freggin universe is different from Gothams. So you just described something totally different then what there doin with this movie.

[Orin]

OMG!!!!!! I feel sorry for that woman. She looks like a pornstar. Oh wait... I think I have seen her in a few. SERIOUSLY no joke

[Jesse321]

No, actually the scenario that Red Mask said is EXACTLY whats happening with CW, they are taking the source material and disregarding it competely.

And if you would READ what I'm saying, I SAID most kids probably do know at least somthing of what CW should be like because they have seen the shows, movies and cartoons, if your going to say what I'm saying at least get it right.

Now would most of these "kids" know the history as well as me or some others, I doubt it very highly. But I never specified "kids" in my orignal comment, if you were old enough to have seen the the show in the 60's then your at least in your late 30's to early 40's and even then there have been enough Batman projects like the movies and the cartoons that have introduced CW to younger generations, so personally I think that a larger majority than your assuming would know that this version of "CW" isn't right.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

No, thats not what being said in that post. He put what would happen if some changed the show completly. They did'nt change anything about DC's Catwoman!! She still one of the 9 Cats out there. They just picked a different CAT and made a totally different story out of it.

Well thats the "kids" that "know" the history/shows/blah blah. The ones that DONT is what I'm talkin about. Also, I weas saying that we dont know what these "kids" are gonna think because we dont know these "kids"

Assumsions, thats all they are. And even if I am only 18, I've seen basiclly all there is on Catwoman. Have you ever heard of "TVLand?"The only thing I dont FULLY understand is the comic version cause I dont pay much attintion to it. But wait, this mvie has nothing to do with the DC comic version. So what am I talking about:rolleyes:

[Pheonyx]

I really think that this movie will bomb and bomb hard anyway, even with having Halle Berry in it. I just hope that this doesn't hurt her career, since she has done some wonderful roles.

Ashes to ashes,
Pheonyx

[Lost Kitten]

If the movie is sooo bad, like everyone who has said it will be, then DC give the ok to use Catwoman and the name and all that...???
Its just a movie..Whats the big deal? Because they aren't doing what the comics are saying? Oh well...Someone will one day or just repeat whats being done now, just differently...They didn't do BoP the tv series like BoP the comics..I just wanna know what the big deal is?? Its a movie!!It could bomb or it could be the next big thing, who knows?!

My point is, its a movie.....Not something to have a freak out over....

[spyke]

time to make a sequel to this thread. I'm just gonna call it Catwoman part two.
