For Catwoman, a character defined by her femininity and sexuality, I feel it detracts from her character a lot, and Gina Gershon just isn't charismatic enough to sell it with her voice either, no matter how much she plays up the more suggestive lines. She has a few decent plots and good action sequences (especially in the finale of "Ragdoll to Riches"), but this Catwoman feels neutered to me, and I just don't feel the critical sexual tension between her and Batman...and like I said, a sexless Catwoman is no Catwoman at all.  |
I never meant to imply that she should be revealing.
I don't really know a lot about the Batman universe and so I appreciate the points you make. A little learning on things I don't know to well never hurts me too much.
I grew up on Batman the Animated Series so The Batman is a little too different for me. I honestly preferred the almost realistic feel of the former over the semi over-the-top stuff in the latter. The Penguins fight scenes always turn me off the show.
But like what was said before, the show is trying something new, and I can live with that. The show has its good points, definitely.
