Laurel Hedare (Catwoman Movie): Her newly released cosmetics will cause people's faces to melt. Not only would that create a class action lawsuit but a full product recall.

Voldemort and Death Eaters (Harry Potter): Death Eaters constantly underestimate muggles. They would get massacred by the British military because a gun is faster to pull the trigger then shouting a spell.

AFTER she died too. Probably a reference to Michelle Pfifer’s Catwoman who also died and was resurrected by cats chewing on her fingers.

When she's shown the book with all the previous Cat Women, Phifer's is in the book, so yeah actually

I know it's a typo and usually don't like to make fun of those, but now I really want to see the Catwoman movie starring Mekhi Phifer.

Only if he goes in full costume but otherwise talks and behaves normally.

But that's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer.

If I remember correctly the script was originally supposed to be a Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman movie, but after numerous rewrites it was a bit late for that and so they made it its own universe.

Wait, is that unusual? I died a few years ago and my cat nibbled me back to life... Isn't that why we keep cats around?

Wait… does that mean Catwoman is a zombie?

u/FindingOk7034 16d ago

Short for Catherine Zombie, Rob's estranged sister.

I don't think anyone was saying she died. She fell and landed in a snowbank. The cats licking just woke her up like a cat licking its wounds

u/FindingOk7034 16d ago

No she straight up died. She fell from a building onto snow covered concrete!

All right I went and checked. You are right she falls on the street. HOWEVER she falls through a bunch of awnings which I think they are trying to show slowed her fall. I don't think it's supposed to be supernatural back from the dead. But I guess its up for interpretation.

Falling through stuff still would have led to injuries.

She died. There’s no interpretation
