Wi no catwoman

Let's say the 2004 film catwoman is scrapped before entering production.

How does this affect superhero movies?

Halle Berry has more of a career, and female superhero movies aren't seen as poisonous with regards to box-office success...
Of course, there's still going to be pessimism over them, what with the failure of Supergirl, but it wouldn't be as extreme...

Also, if Nolan does the Dark Knight Trilogy, then he wouldn't need to downplay Catwoman's presence there as much as he did...
 
I'm wondering the opposite. WI it had been a sucess, done less as a toon, with better character development, a tighter story line, better production values. Any chance of building a stronger genre of female led action movies?

In terms of Halle Berry, it would work better if there was a Storm standalone film. That or get a different actress for Catwoman, and maybe tie it in somehow with the Nolanverse?
 
I vaguely recall somewhere that the Film was sort of a generic action film that got the name Catwoman tacked on at the end.

But, some people attribute the triple failures of Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Catwoman and Elektra as one of the major reasons Hollywood started to believe that action movies with female leads didn't work.

No Catwoman might not stop that, but it might delay that train of thought.

A successful Catwoman movie means you'd have to go back to...Batman Forever.

Allegedly, the guy who wrote the script turned it in when Batman Forever premiered, and the kiddy-campy turn mean that the Script stayed in development hell for a while.

The guy who committed Catwoman was actually a French exile to Hollywood - and it ended there thanks to Luc Besson. Besson, of (infamous) Europacorp fame - making movies like McDonald is doing burgers :mad: (The transporteur series - blame this on Besson)
