The screenplay was written by John Rogers and was produced by Joel Silver, Susan Ekins, and Deborah Snyder.

However, there were some positive reviews as well, with some praising Berry's performance and the action sequences. The movie was a box office bomb, grossing only $82 million against its $100 million budget.The movie's plotline is campy and over-the-top, with plenty of twists and turns. It centers around Selina Kyle, a timid and reclusive cat-lover who transforms into Catwoman at night to fight crime and avenge the death of her foster mother. She is a part-time waitress and antique dealer in Gotham City who is framed for a series of murders committed by the criminal mastermind known as The Cheshire Cat (portrayed by Hugo Strange).

She also has a romantic interest in Bruce Wayne (portrayed by Benjamin Bratt), a rich and influential figure in Gotham City who dons the identity of Batman to fight crime in the city.The campy and kitschy elements of "Catwoman" are both its strength and weakness. The over-the-top action sequences, quirky characters, and cheesy dialogue are all designed to be tongue-in-cheek and campy, which may appeal to some viewers but turn off others. Halle Berry's performance as Selina Kyle/Catwoman is generally praised, with many commenting on her physicality and intensity in the role. The action sequences are also generally well-received, with some calling them among the best in the movie.However, many critics slammed "Catwoman" for its numerous plot holes, weak villain, and lack of depth in the characters. They also felt that the movie was too long and over-the-top, with too much focus on campiness instead of a serious attempt at a Catwoman movie. The movie's box office performance also reflects its critical failure, making it one of the biggest flops of 2004.Despite its negative reputation, "Catwoman" has developed a cult following over the years, with some viewers defending it as a campy guilty pleasure.
