I don't think people understand that this movie has nothing to do with Batman or Selina Kyle story. It is a separate story about a woman that dies and gets resurrected from cats but these cats are like mythical Egyptian cats so she wounds up gaining abilities like strength, senses, etc just like a cat. She plays by her own roles just like a cat would do. Also if the audience actually listened to the story, the older woman Ophelia had told the main character Patience Phillips (Halle Berry) that there are other "Catwomen" out there and to not feel alone.

Oh please... If what you are saying that this is an elseworlds tale (Stories which take place outside the DC Universe canon) for this movie and they try to slip in Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman from Batman Returns as a homage, reference or Easter Egg and saying they can exist in the same universe then they really did a piss poor job at that. The bad stunt work, the bad dialogue and instead of trying to create a plausible environment or ground the characters and events or build around any sort of strong core concept, the movie has just gotten more absurd and less coherent. I based this on my understanding of what Elseworlds looks like as I happen to own a majority of the Elseworlds comic book collection. I can say for sure that this abomination of a film is a disgrace to the name "Catwoman", to Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman character from Batman Returns and the Elseworlds comics. Oh and Eartha Kitt who played Catwoman on Adam West's Batman show... nice try.
