Third appointment with our column dedicated to cinema. This time the movie is "Batman, the return" and, of course, eyes on Catwoman.
An icon, a myth, a legend. Michelle Pfeiffer as a supersexy and extraordinary Catwoman all dark and latex catsuit.
A perfect vision of the director Tim Burton who has definitively consecrated this famous comic strip character.
If before the “Batman, the return” movie Catwoman already insinuated herself into the dreams of millions of fans, after the film she became the undisputed symbol of sensuality, but also of female emancipation, thanks to a whole series of meanings related to her.
A normal woman who becomes a criminal after being almost killed by her boss Max Shreck, who later decides to try everything to kill her. She is held as a femme fatale in most of the film
According to Michelle Pfeiffer, who was previously considered to play Vicki Vale in the previous film but turned down due to reportedly being in a relationship with Michael Keaton at the time, she felt devastated after Annette Bening was cast as Catwoman.
However, Bening became pregnant, allowing Pfeiffer to get the role.
Pfeiffer's $3 million salary was $2 million more than was offered to Bening.
To prepare for the role, Pfeiffer attended kickboxing classes and practised handling a whip (during which she accidentally cut her teacher's chin).
In this article, we show you a series of illustrations by the young and new Mexican artist Xavier Rodrigue inspired by some photos by Swedish photographer Thomas Svensson, a short but significant clip from the movie “Batman, the return” movie and a so so funny GIF made by Mr.Svensson with the his very personal interpretation of the character. Have fun!
