Halle Berry appeared on “The Tonight Show” and host Jimmy Fallon had her reflect on the 20th anniversary of “Catwoman,” the infamous comic book movie flop that won Berry the Razzie for worst performance of the year.
“I loved it,” Berry said in defiance to the critical reception “Catwoman” got in 2004. “It got panned. The critics said it sucked balls. And balls aren’t that bad.”
“What I’m happy about is that the children have found it now on the internet, and they love it,” Berry added. “So, it’s so vindicating. Because now they’re saying it’s cool and what the heck was everybody’s problem with it.”

When asked if she would ever reprise the role of Catwoman on the big screen, Berry said she would be interested as long as she was directing the movie. The Oscar winner made her feature directorial debut with the Netflix fighter drama “Bruised.” She’s long spoken favorably about “Catwoman” in press interviews and first expressed interest in directing a remake back in 2021.
“I would love to direct ‘Catwoman,’” Berry told “Jake’s Takes” at the time. “If I can get ahold of that now, knowing what I know, having had this experience [on ‘Bruised’], and reimagine that world the way I reimagined this story. ‘Bruised’ was written for a white Irish Catholic 25-year-old girl, and I got to reimagine it. I wish I could go back and reimagine Catwoman and redo that. Have a redo on that, now knowing what I know.”
“I would have Catwoman saving the world like most male superheroes do, and not just saving women from their faces cracking off,” Barry continued, referencing the plot of “Catwoman” that pitted the eponymous hero against a corrupt beauty cosmetics company. “I would make the stakes a lot higher, and I think make it more inclusive of both men and women.”
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Berry admitted that she’s always hated being the sole target of the movie’s backlash.
“I felt like it was Halle Berry’s failure, but I didn’t make it alone,” Berry told the publication. “All these years, I’ve absolutely carried it.”
“I didn’t love [the backlash],” Berry added. “Being a Black woman, I’m used to carrying negativity on my back, fighting, being a fish swimming upstream by myself. I’m used to defying stereotypes and making a way out of no way…It didn’t derail me because I’ve fought as a Black woman my whole life. A little bad publicity about a movie? I didn’t love it, but it wasn’t going to stop my world or derail me from doing what I love to do.”
