If they changed the name to like, 'The Feline' or something like that, and didn't try to pawn this off as based on a comic, I'd have no problem with it.

woah woah woah... they changed THat much????

Okay, I change my vote to yeah it's crap

[Barkworm]

i can't understand why they take a character with that much background and change everything except the name. I hope the movie will be a huge flop, that'll teach them.

[raphael_is_cool]

Sure it looks like crap. And I can't stand Halle Berry

[Ronin_of_Kirai]

I agree with everyone I think this movie is going to suck...bad

Yep. Here's how they changed the stuff:

Name: Selina Kyle -> Patience Philips
Abilties: Normal human with training -> speed, reflexes, and senses of a cat (and, apparently, a huge craving for milk that won't go away)
City: Gotham -> Lake City
Job: Former Prostitute and Theif, currently vigilante -> graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product

Here's a short bio of the comic character:

After a troubled childhood, Selina Kyle took to the streets and to selling her body. She was trained to defend herself by Ted Grant, better known as Wildcat, with whom she has since kept in contact, despite the fact that she is a known felon, committing a number of high-profile thefts in Gotham City and the rest of the world. She is not a killer, although the Gotham police are always wary of her - she is strictly a thief, but a most 'professional' one. A certain amount of sexual tension exists between her and Batman, though she would deny any attraction between them. Recently, Selina has become a sworn enemy of James Gordon, who managed to get her sent to jail for a short while. She was even suspected of shooting him, though she proved innocent of this crime.

Selina has now re-invented herself as the protector of those on the streets that the cops just don't care about, working alongside Dr Leslie Thompkins and private detective Slam Bradley.

And the movie character bio:

Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry), a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wildcat, she's dangerous, elusive and untamed.

wanna see halle talking a load of bull? then go and see her opinion on the character of catwoman. i dunno where to find it, the server where i found it is not whosting it anymore.

and: I hate DC for producing crappy stuff with good names. OK, Birds of PRey was nice as an elseworld thing. but all the rest sucks (and no, i didn't forget smallville). They just take good stuff and then mess it up (see batman 4) .

This was the only article I've seen with Berry talking about the film. From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Losing Patience
She portrays Patience Philips, a shy, sensitive artist who is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat.

The reported $100 million film, which pounces into theaters July 30, is based on the DC Comics character, but it's not set in the "Batman" universe of Gotham City.

"It's very much based in reality," Berry said.

Berry's feline fatale retains some of the qualities of her film and television predecessors, who include Michelle Pfeiffer, Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt.

"She's still that iconic character that is about the alter-ego of womanhood, which is kind of the same," she said. "The look is somewhat different."

Berry sports a belly-baring leather suit, which she called "probably the most sexy costume of all of them."

She enjoyed that aspect of the character, saying that it's OK for a woman to be in touch with her sexuality.

"That doesn't define us if we decide to express it or use that part of who we are when we need to," she said. "That's not really a bad thing as long as that's not all we're relying on. And I've had to learn that in my life here in the last four or five years. That really is OK.

"And that's one of the great things about being a woman," she added. "We have that card to play. It's not a negative. It depends how you use it if it becomes a negative or not."

A full character
Berry is the first woman to portray two different comic-book characters, from competing comics publishers, on film. The difference is that "X-Men" and its sequel were ensemble films and "Catwoman" is a solo piece, giving her more to sink her teeth into.

"It was a full character I got to create here. Her emotional life, her life when she's not Catwoman, when she is Catwoman. It was a lot to play, and I really like that part of this one," she said.

Berry plays her roles to the hilt, sometimes at great cost to herself. She was briefly hospitalized in January after being hit in the head by a swinging light during a stunt action sequence for "Catwoman." Last year, she broke her arm while filming a scene for "Gothika."

"I think when you work really hard and you approach your work with somewhat reckless abandon - you know, if you really throw yourself into it - things are bound to happen," she said.

"And I certainly don't want to become someone who's so cautious that I'm afraid to do some of my own stunt work, because that's the joy of it for me. I get to do things that I would never otherwise get to do had I not been making this movie."

Berry also throws herself fully into promoting her films, even if it means dashing out the door and down the hill.

She's just hafta face mine. And you KNOW **** has hit the fan when I forgo the whole Doom thing.

By any chance, were either Kane or Shane McMahon in this movie?

[Dane E5R]

yes, this movie will suck. yes, Halle is the wrong woman for the job. Yes, they totally screwed up the character.

But speak not of the crappiest movie of all time - you obviously have not seen COCOON! NO film will ever top the lameness that is COCOON! There's only one movie that might be worse: Cocoon: The Return. (I wouldn't know, I'll never watch it)
