The Clown Prince of Crime
Super Freak
The dinosaurs in the Jurassic movies are beautiful, beautiful creatures.
Not about Jurassic Park moviesPale face Clown Prince, pale face!?! She was just outside in the cold after going through shock! The color comes back to her face after that scene. Do people really think Bruce Wayne is making out with a resurrected zombie?
Stray, hungry alley cats biting the hell out of someone that just suffered blunt force trauma isn't cats bringing her back to life. Check out her fluttering eyes. That's a common trait for someone that's been hit in the head. When the head is hit with blunt force, your eyes can suddenly compresses and retract which causes blood to collect underneath the eye lids.
None of the "deaths" Selina experience are lethal. When Shreck pushed her through the window, she falls through several awnings that slow her fall. He even says later that he isn't surprised she made it and next time, he should push her out of a higher window. Batman blasts her after she finds a weak point in his armor, she falls into a construction samd truck, clearly fine. She even quips that she was "saved" before calling Batman a bastard, so she was clearly fine. Yet later, she counts it as one of her "deaths" to Shreck ("Batman killed me"), so she's clearly bluffing. Then there's the Penguin, with that scenario, she falls a few feet into some garden bed. That's it. She isn't some immortal being. When Batman lobs acid at her arm, she feels it and has a horrific burn that doesn't go away. She hurts and bleeds.
At the end, she does get shot in the legs! She's limping and clearly in pain, struggling to stand on her feet. The comic adaptation and script are more illustrative about it, the comic even shows blood flying out of her leg, but a PG-13 movie isn't going to show that. Yes, at the very end they show her looking at the Batsignal but you have to remember tha scene was tacked on at the very end of production and wasn't even something that Burton and Co. approved. Originally, Selina does die with Shreck and Penguin in the climax. Then Bruce would go off, alone, much like it is in the final film. The reason they tacked on that expensive shot at the end was because the test screening audiences all loved Selina/Catwoman and the ending was too depressing without that little shot. WB also wanted to save her just in case of a sequel. People already complain about how miserable and dark the actual ending is, now, imagine if they didn't have that final beat of her popping up and checking out the signal with the Batman theme blasting. If it didn't have that, it would have been somber and the most depressing Batman ending to date.
Not a zombie, she's doesn't stay dead....she is resurrected. People think she's reborn with the abilities of a cat, which include agility, speed, survival skills, and apparently the personality of a cat, since she's into eating birds and licking herself, all feline "qualities." It doesn't mean she's immune to pain or acid or any other injury. Real cats feel pain and can get hurt, and she's still very much a human, not immortal since apparently she has "nine lives", if she was immortal they wouldn't put so much emphasis through out the film on keeping track of how many lives she has left.
Regardless of what Burton's intention were with the ending or story, ultimately you have to accept what you are given in the official film, even if some of it wasn't approved by the director. Whether it was the studio or Burton, someone wanted some kind of ambiguity, because they purposely avoided explaining what could have been easily explained, but instead the film suggest the possibility of a supernatural element. Had they showed some Karate and gymnastic medals or trophies in her a apartment, that would instantly debunk the idea of Selina getting those attributes from the cats, but they didn't. They even have a scene in the beginning where she doesn't defend herself against a guy holding a taser, but they could have showed her using some fighting skills in that scene because she's defending herself....it's about survival and instinct and she has training, something that has nothing to do with her shy personality. Instead, she goes from defenseless woman to skilled fighter after the alley incident.
She becomes a survivor, who can run and jump in high heels like Clair in JW, with deadly skills, and the agility and speed of a Velociraptor like the ones seen in JW when they are fighting the I Rex, which is a cool fight in a very rad film.
