The all time “perfect citizen” of Gotham, Max Shreck, creates
Catwoman after he throws his executive assistant, Selina Kyle, through the
window and dies. After that moment Selina lost her life, because of some
unexplained supernatural cat powers, emerged a new person, Catwoman. This new
persona is some kind of villain, which goes around Gotham in a tight black
leather suit, that makes every man look twice at her. With the main purpose of
destroying her creator, Max Shreck, and get revenge for how bad he treated her.
Bruce Wayne met Selina whilst he was in a
reunion with her boss, Max Shreck, and instantly you could feel the sexual
attraction between both of them. Then
after a while they met as Batman and Catwoman. Even though, Batman was trying
to fight her and stop her from her wrongdoings, one could still feel the
attraction between the two characters. As the film develops we can se both
relationships growing deeper. Bruce and Selina meet several times and every
encounter is more passionate and full of energy. On the other hand Batman and
Catwoman keep finding themselves at night, each trying to do their own thing,
which leads them to fight one another.
Because they each have two different
personalities or personas it is much more difficult to meet, and even more
difficult because they are on different sides. Which makes the relationship
between Bruce/Batman and Selina/Catwoman a completely different situation than
the past relationship the main character had with Vicki Vale, who was just a
normal photojournalist.
Moreover, it also gives the relationship a
different “spark” that the other one didn’t have. They can understand each
other more easily, because, somehow, they both going through the same thing.
At the end of the movie we see something
totally different in this relationship. Batman shows himself as Bruce Wayne
with much more confidence than he did when he was trying to tell Vicki Vale who
he was. In my opinion, this happened because he felt related to her. Because,
as him, the only thing that Catwoman wanted more than anything was revenge, as
Batman wanted with the Joker. Hence, he understood what she was feeling but
also knew that the consequences if she killed Max Shreck could have been worse
than the actual need for revenge.
