IGN FilmForce recently spoke about "Catwoman" with Producer Denise Di Novi, a woman behind such auspicious films as "Heathers", "Batman Returns", "Edward Scissorhands", "Ed Wood", "Little Women" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Ms. DiNovi has been attached to the 'Cat' project for almost a decade now and speaks candidly about why the connection to the "Batman" franchise was ultimately dumped from the final film: I know the fans would eat me alive if I didn't ask you this, but is there any reference to Batman in the final film, and if not, why so? There's no reference to Batman in the final film. I think part of it is that Chris Nolan is shooting Batman right now. He's in the market place, he's in the world actively. There were comics, there were stories about Catwoman that did not involve Batman. There were some where they intersected, there were some where they didn't. We felt that as I said earlier, she deserved a story where she just stood on her own terms.
If there is a Catwoman 2, are there any characters from the comic books that fans could expect to see in it?
I would love suggestions, because so many have been used already or they don't really make sense for Catwoman. So, I'm actually in the process of researching that. If anybody has an idea, I would love to hear it. For the full interview, click here Thanks to 'Stax'.
