Julie Newmar was always my favorite Catwoman on TV...loved Michelle Pfeiffer, but hated Anne Hathaway. No mention of Halle Berry here? She wore the hell out of the costume.

Julie Newmar! :love::love::love:

She portrayed the villainous and playful sides of Selina perfectly. On top of that, she's most the most striking, tantalising and stunning Catwoman there has ever been, but I'm a bit biased there because I genuinely believe she's one of the most beautiful actresses of all time.

I really like Michelle Pfeiffer too, I think I'd choose her if her character was represented a bit more accurately. I also loved Pfeiffer's contrast between Selina and her alter ego. She's a very very close second.

EDIT: I totally agree about Anne Hathaway, Gideon. I didn't like her very much in that role at all.

Halle Berry's Catwoman wasn't Selina Kyle.

I'm going with Michelle Pfeiffer for the simple reason that I haven't seen enough of the others to be fair to them. Julie Newmar's the best Catwoman from the Sixties show, but I'm going with the more serious takes on Batman.

…saying that, when the inevitable "Best Riddler" thread comes along, Frank Gorshin should own it :D.

Michelle Pfeiffer, without a question.

Thank you for not even making Halle Barry an option.

Offhand, does Catwoman always wind up dancing with Bruce Wayne? Seems to happen often.

Julie Newmar is the Sean Connery of Catwoman

It's comparable to Christopher Reeve doing Clark Kent – never thought of that before.

Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman is the sexiest movie character of all time. That costume :willem:

Eartha Kitt actually looked like a cat.

I feel like Hathaway is the only one I took seriously in the role, so I have to go with her, but I do enjoy the Pfeiffer performance. I just think she got a little too out of control and lost the character in being crazy, which I partially blame Burton for in that film.

Michelle Pfeiffer by far. She was a great Selina and by far the sexiest Catwoman. I have no idea who the Carmen chick is. Must be something new.

I actually really like Camren Bicondova as Catwoman. I've seen some who dislike her with a passion but her portrayal is true to the character to me. Selina Kyle was never an out-and-out Batman villain but always a thief with a dubious moral compass and an on/off romance/friendship with Bruce Wayne.

WEIRD...

Perhaps that's the point.

So what's the big deal with Michelle Pfeiffer?

It's difficult deciding whether she was sexier in this or The Fabulous Baker Boys.

She does look good, the girl in Gotham. You've got to have that feline look and I suppose Anne Hathaway has it too, to a lesser degree.
