In the Burton/Schumaker films, the Catwoman story is really the only one that was filmed with taste and an appreciation of the craft. Not being a comic book guy, I don't know how far that strayed from the source, but I always liked how it was handled on film. The Penguin's treatment kinda ruined that film, but the entire Catwoman plot has made it my favorite of the films in that era.

However, the entire series became dead to me after Batman Begins. Nolan made me finally able to forget four films that were all too damn imperfect and replace them with something no less than perfect. I positively can't wait for TDK, though if Phillipe joins, I may return to my usual skepticism.
