10 Of The Least Comic-Accurate Superhero Movie Costumes

As we outlined in our list of 10 Extremely Comic-Accurate Superhero Movie Outfits, some comic book films get the look of their main character exactly right.

Catwoman’s had some iconic outfits on the screen – from the spangly catsuit worn by Julie Newmar/Eartha Kitt in the 60s Batman show to Anne Hathaway’s sexy yet practical version in The Dark Knight Rises. What all of these iterations realized is that the character’s look works best when kept simple. This was something sadly lost on the execrable 2004 Catwoman solo movie.

Halle Berry’s outfit seems to have been made by people who knew nothing about Catwoman except her name. Look, she’s a cat because she’s got ridiculously oversized cat ears and jagged claw-shaped rips on her trousers. And, in case we forget she’s a woman, she’s only wearing a leather bra. The result is cheap-looking and totally impractical for the character. Purrfectly terrible, really.
