Sexy actress Halle Berry counts the skintight catsuit she had to wear for Catwoman as the "true highlight" of making the movie. The Oscar-winning beauty enjoyed slipping into the sassy outfit for her feline character on a daily basis. She says, "(The suit was) the highlight of the whole movie experience. It was empowering. Besides the obvious sex appeal, it really takes a certain level of confidence to pull it off. We all have physical flaws, but you can't hide them when you're wearing it." But fans hoping to get their hands on the outfit which adorned her curvaceous body are in for a disappointment as Berry plans to keep it for herself. She explains, "It's mainly because I didn't want it to end up on eBay." And Berry is also unsure whether her movie outfit will spark any kind of fashion frenzy, adding, "They've always been in fashion, but they come and go. They're not the most practical thing to go around wearing."
IMDb tells me that Theresa Rebeck has a story credit. She wrote

! She's a respected playwright! What the hell is she doing?!

At a guess? Weeping bitterly.
God, people toss around the word "empowering" in the strangest ways. I would have said "capering around like an idiot in impractical clothes." Yet, to Halle -- "empowering."

Laughing all the way to the bank?
"We all have physical flaws, but you can't hide them when you're wearing it."
Nope. That's what CGI and airbrushing are for.
I sacrifice myself so that others may be warned.
Jessica, I'm grateful for your sacrifice, but it was so unnecessary. This was like standing too close to Bikini Atoll to be able to tell us that nuclear war is a bad idea.
That said, I think I'm going to look for a theater where De Lovely plays about the same time as Catwoman so my money can go to the former while I observe the train wreck.
Is it just me, or do these kinds of stinkwads come from Warner more than the other studios? (see: Earth, Battlefield)
I think as long as Warner has the HP series, they'll get by.

Warner is one of the big boys, and I think all the big boys have this problem. It's a question of sheer volume - they produce so many pictures a year, they're going to have a larger number of "pedestrian or worse" offerings.
the skintight catsuit
Am I wrong, or are slashed-up leather pants and a completely impractical slingback bra not, technically, a catsuit? I mean, it's entirely possible they kept the catsuit for an amazing reveal 1/2 way into the movie, but this does not strike me as the kind of movie that is smart enough to keep anything back for a reveal.
Michelle Pfeiffer, now that was a catsuit.
