Aside from the mere existence of the film, consider that it's airing on American Movie Classics.
Did I miss a news story about all copies of every movie ever made except this one and the works of Uwe Boll being tragically destroyed?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Awww, don't pick on AMC. They were great when they had access to the MGM and WB libraries. Once Turner Classic Movies took those back, they had to settle for what scrapings and leavings they could find.

American Movie Classics is now more mis-named than the Learning Channel.

Ann, that's a ferret.
For AMC purposes, I don't care whether Catwoman was good or bad. If it just left the theaters last year, it doesn't belong on a classic movie channel. Unless you can tie it very closely to the movie that ran just before it.

Yeah, like filler for the last two hours after a Val Lewton Cat People/Curse of the Cat People retrospective might make sense (especially if Mike Nelson and the MST3K crew were hosting), but not on its own.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If it just left the theaters last year
Last year, three years ago...I don't know. I can imagine something like LA Confidential making it to AMC in short order. But I don't think Catwoman should be shown anywhere ever.
Of course, now I do have to TiVo it, just to be sure.

That's a big upgrade imo.
