thehefner | This makes my soul hurt: Halle Berry on the upcoming "Catwoman" movie

"First of all, she's a totally different character. Her name is Patience Philips, not Selina Kyle, which lets fans know that the film is going to be entirely seperate from BATMAN RETURNS. The biggest difference is that this is Catwoman's film. She's the hero and she doesn't have to rely of Batman, or anyone else ... The costume tells you a lot about the character. Patience is murdered and resurrected by an Egyptian Mao cat, then Patience becomes a cat and is in conflict between her human self and her cat self...the costume reflects that. No, this isn't about Batman. We're telling fans that we're starting brand new with CATWOMAN. The thing about her is that she's so independent, she doesn't need a man to take care of her."

I could write a lengthy commentary on all the ways this is wrong and makes me want to vomit, but somehow I think the above is pretty self-explanatory. I think Bill's facial expression says it all.
