the many lives of catwoman

Or a dozen reasons why the new movie will suck. An explanation of the history of the character reveals that she used to be ten times cooler than her present reincarnation of ancient cat goddess worshipper/graphic designer. (Please. And then roaming around in that costume? Ms. Berry, we thought you were smart. Give the Oscar back, right now.) Michelle Pfeiffer will be the definitive movie-inception of the character, as well she should be.

Though the history reveals a much more enticing version of the Catwoman- aka Marguerite Tone, bored socialite thief, a female Thomas Crown, if you will. (And you knew her name would be Marguerite. Had to be. Sexy, immoral female character- that's her name. It should be a well-known cliche by now.) Now that would have been a movie worth seeing.
