McCurdy Batman Returns

Prompt #2 for Batman Returns 

Catwoman played by Michelle Pfeiffer.

     Batman and Catwoman have a very complex relationship, especially considering that they both have alternate identities. They meet each other at a very pivotal point in Selina's life, which makes it even harder for them to be together since she has recently been turned against men. She's hurt and trying to mold herself into the independent woman she wants to become, but is still occasionally struggling with who she actually is. But either way, she is a much more mysterious woman to Bruce than Vicki Vale ever was. 

     As Selina, Bruce Wayne finds her very attractive from the first moment they speak in Max Schreck's office. This is immediately following her transformation and her confidence is oozing to all that come in contact with her. You can tell Bruce is intrigued by her and her new found sexuality. Upon seeing her the second time when they run into each other on the street, they find out they have more in common than they thought. They scoff at the tree lighting that is set to occur later that night, discovering that they both find many things in Gotham City quite absurd and overrated. As their conversation progresses, Bruce suggests to Selina that she has kind of a dark side. "No darker than yours, Bruce," she responds. Little do they know how true that statement really is. On their first date at Bruce's house, his attraction grows even more, especially with her overt sexuality on the couch. 

     Things grow more complex when a news report flashes on the TV about a kidnapping in the city. They make excuses to leave, but they are both unaware that they're actually going to the same place. When they arrive at the scene as Batman and Catwoman, they end up fighting each other. This is only one of the many instances when they run into each other and are suddenly enemies. As Catwoman, she is destructive to Batman. She is continually trying to overbear him both mentally and physically. Her instincts to take down any man kicks in every time and she hates to see him as a strong figure of power and heroism. 

      When they finally discover each other's alternate identities, Selina chooses her independence over him. She denies him as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Though they might be "the same" in terms of dual natures, their constant battle between lover and enemy outweighs this and makes their relationship too complex to sustain.
