Michelle Pfeiffer almost had a Catwoman spinoff

In terms of superhero movies, does it get any better than Michelle Pfeiffer‘s performance as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in Batman Returns? And do superhero movies get any worse than 2004’s Catwoman, the laughable solo film starring Halle Berry in the title role? Those are rhetorical questions, by the way – the answer to both is clearly “no.”
In a parallel universe, the Halle Berry version movie never happened. Warner Bros. was considering making a Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman solo film in the late 1990s, and screenwriter John August (Go, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) pitched the studio an idea. August just found his old notes for the pitch, and shared them on Twitter to give us a sense of what that movie could have been like.
August recently participated in a Twitter hashtag called #ShareYourRejections, where he revealed that he pitched a Catwoman sequel that would have picked up with Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic version of the character after the events of 1992’s Batman Returns.

That's actually an interesting take.

Catwoman at Warners in 1998. Sequel with Michelle Pfeiffer returning. Producer excited. After pitch, exec insisted it needed to be Sarah Michelle Gellar and involve hair-washing scene, then showed me Matrix trailer.

Translation:
An exec was perving on Gellar. Wanted a way into her pants.

John Peters was the producer of the Tim Burton Batman movies - it had to be him. He had some sexual harassment stuff happen years later (during Superman Returns) and had to pay up over 3 million. Christopher Nolan banned him from Man of Steel too.
He was the one who wanted Nic Cage to play Superman. Kevin Smith has a great story about him.

Directors have and idea that they are determined to use. Funnily enough... the finale scene from Joss Whedon's abandoned Wonder Woman script in the early 2000's has the villain riding and Wonder Woman fighting a huge flying metallic wormlike creature. Sound familiar? Check out the Avenger's by Mr. Whedon...
We even see them in Infinity War.
So I guess directors all have their big metal spiders.
