Who played Catwoman in Tim Burton’s 1992 film Batman Returns?

Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman in Tim Burton’s 1992 film Batman Returns.

Pfeiffer portrays Selina Kyle, a shy secretary whose transformation follows an attack by her employer, Max Shreck. As Catwoman, she becomes an agile and morally conflicted figure who crosses paths with Batman and the Penguin.

Batman Returns stars Michael Keaton as Batman, Danny DeVito as the Penguin, Christopher Walken as Max Shreck, and Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle. Pfeiffer’s stitched leather costume and physical performance became especially associated with the film’s version of Catwoman.

The movie is a sequel to Burton’s 1989 Batman. Unlike the earlier film, Batman Returns focuses on multiple villains and emphasizes Burton’s gothic, fairy-tale atmosphere. Catwoman’s identity is Selina Kyle, not a separate original character created for the movie.
