That's pretty much it. I'd add that you should pull out the seam along the front edge of the cape.
Woah, woah, woah, woah Haytil, calm down there buddy.
I honestly didn't expect that kinda retort. You almost seem . . . angry. I'm surprised in you Haytil!
If you wanna believe that Catwoman/Selina is a supernatural zombie woman, well, you're free to do that. Go right ahead, have at it. Interpretation and perception is everything. I however, don't believe the above to be the case. She somehow got out of harms way, either by what I suggested or elsewhere. Whatever the case may be. The point of the scene is, she didn't die (either by being a ZOMBIE CAT or just being lucky and surviving) and she chose revenge over a "happy ending" with Bruce. She knew that they were both damaged goods and wouldn't be good for each other in the end.
Bruce goes off alone and depressed, this is a woman he related to and ultimately lost. The film starts to end on a grim note (contrary to the uplifting, heroic ending of the first film) and in a somber, film noir fashion until . . . BAM, the Batsignal shines once again and who appears? Catwoman.
I'm not about to be fixated or hung up on the plausibility of how or why she survived. She survived. It's a movie, don't care if it's not realistic. People can fall from heights and get electrocuted and survive. That's all I know. John McClane should be ****ing dead in everyone one of his films. Batman and Rachel shouldn't have come out of that fall unscathed like they did, they should be a twisted, red matter all over the cement.
I also know that originally, the script called for her death. She jams her clawed, taloned fingers into a circuit box and acts as a conductor to fire Shreck. In the script, she's DEAD. In the comic adaptation you see her burning corpse over Shreck's. No ambiguity, no great Catwoman ending, nothing. It was going to be even more depressing. In the movie, none of these things happen.
So for whatever reason, she survived. It makes for a great ending and a satisfying image. I don't think she's a zombie supernatural whatever, she "has 9 lives" in that she's lucky and gets out of tight situations like a cat. Not, she literally has 9 lives and cats bit their spirits back into her so that she can survive falls, eat bullets and electricity and BRAAAAAAINNNZZZZZ. That's downplaying it in my opinion.
Still, the writer said it was ambiguous and the director said she's not supernatural, so anyone can make of it what they will. I saw a strong fem fatale, woman who's a broken mirror image of Batman, sort of like Penguin (orphan of wealth, loneliness) and the Joker (Batman's antithesis) not a supernatural being that eats souls.
Nah, you don't see her corpse. In that clip at exactly 4:29 to 4:30 she's side stepping aside and lowering his body. You can see it through the sparks. Unless someone wants to say it's some stuntman in protective gear laying down a Shreck dummy.
Final film doesn't equal the script. Originally Shreck and Oswald were bros, thankfully that was scrapped. Originally Batman spoke too much until Keaton pretty much took out his lines. Originally Selina was going to die. She also didn't jam her hand into a circuit box to be a conductor of electricity into Shrek.
If she was meant to die IN THE FINAL VERSION OF THE FILM, well, guess what, Bruce would have seen her remains along with Shreck. Remember his charred, bloated, eye popped corpse? Yeah, she got out of there. She ran, she walked, whatever. All the audience needs to know is that she got away.
You can even see her silhouette in the alley, unless that's the black cat that Bruce picks up.
Bruce doesn't find a body. He sees her silhouette in an alley. Take away the ending and those two things are still there.
It doesn't make sense to survive that?
It doesn't make sense to survive this,

Or how about people that survive getting hit by lightning?
But that's not the point, this is a movie. The point is she somehow survives. Either by what I described, or the latex rubber of her suit, or who knows what else.
C'mon it's humor.
I see that crap all the time, "she's A ZOMBIE", OMG, DAT ***** IZ TEH SUPERNATURAL". I was just playing it up with the braaaaaaaaaainzz remark.
We got some seriousness up in this thread.
Bravo good sir.
