catwoman's all about the grey area, which is the one thing modern writers don't seem to get
It's all about a woman who wants to be selfish but finds herself giving way too much of a shit.
A series/movie about Selina today would just have her be selfish, and depict that as a good thing, like Lanterns
There also isn't a market for high concept heist movies right now. It's why they went scifi with the third Ant-Man movie (mistakenly)

Because it's a sexy Catwoman who tries to seduce an asexual/closeted Batman. There's nowhere to go with that story.

>>223581918
The animated series is the definitive version.

Women can't act

Very few writers can write interesting women that don't just exist as a foil to some male character

I liked the Caped Crusader version.

Except like 10 different comic runs where she does seduce him

New 52 she was asian right? I like an Asian cat woman

>>223581918
Because she isn't a main character, she's a shallow love interest and her sole value is in testing Batman's morality; he fancies her, so will he let her get away with things he would beat a poor person thugging for money into hundreds of thousands of medical debt for? She sashay's in, wiggles her bum at Batman, he finds out who she is, he angsts a bit, then she either dies, reforms, or he puts her away in spite of his feelings. That's it, there's no other value in the character, and so no matter how many fetishists or feminists try to make her A Thing adaptations of her will always fail because there's really nothing of her to adapt.

No one has written a good piece isn’t the same as there’s nothing to write about. There’s an endless well of stories that could be written about the woman. Remember, Pearl was just some psycho old lady in X; it took Pearl for people to realize, “Oh shit, there could be more to a person’s story than I originally thought.”

Catwoman’s big problem is studios needing to be able to sell her to adult kids and kids. When you have that limitation for the gritty story of a woman with loose morals, what can you sell to kids that’s also interesting and not shitty? Another problem Catwoman has is writers don’t understand how to explain what she wants to kids. Cape slop appeals to kids and adult kids, and those demographics are only capable of handling so much.

She can't stand on her own but pair her up with a proper birds of prey team and it'll work

Burton Catwoman has next to nothing in common with any previous incarnation of Selena Kyle and is elevated by virtue of being portrayed by Pfeiffer at her peak semen demonry.

Catwoman kind of just sucks as a character. Which is what OP is actually pointing out because there's basically no good incarnations of her. Burton's version is good because it didn't try to be the shitty character.
>>
>>223581918
she's too sexy for mainstream audiences
>>
>>223586356
>>223586441

Oh I agree. Burton took the most engaging and defining aspects of the character (morally grey femme fatale love interest for Batman who presents him with a moral dillema and foil to his dual identity who wears a sexy cat costume and uses a whip) and cut out the fluff. Pfeiffer's the ruler every Catwoman is measured by for a reason.
