In 2004, Catwoman, a movie starring Halle Berry, was released. This film’s Catwoman bore little resemblance to the comic book version. Berry portrayed Patience Phillips, a woman who eventually became Catwoman after a near-death experience. Patience gained the powers from the Egyptian cat goddess Bastet through a gathering of cats led by an Egyptian Mau. The movie alludes to other women in the past who have been granted such cat-like abilities, particularly in a scene in which Phillips finds herself amongst a series of images of prior catwomen, including Pfeiffer’s Batman Returns version of Selina Kyle. The film’s story has nothing to do with Batman or Gotham City.
