The Flash: Michelle Pfeiffer would play Catwoman again if asked

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Michelle Pfeiffer is ready to meow and do some licking, but it is all dependent on whether Andy Muschietti and the team behind The Flash are going to ask. Pfeiffer played the feline femme fatale in 1992's Batman Returns alongside Michael Keaton and Danny DeVito. Her portrayal of the vivacious villainess is the stuff of legend among the Bat-fans, and I think having her appear in The Flash would be positively purrfect.

Recently while promoting her new film, French Exit, Pfeiffer told ScreenRant that she'd return to play the character if someone were to ask.

"I would if anyone asked me but no one's asked me yet," Pfeiffer explained to the outlet when asked about slipping back into the iconic catsuit.

I'm not going to lie, I would lose my mind if was announced the Pfeiffer was in some way contributing to The Flash. Not only is she a hypnotic presence on-screen, reprising the role would see her acting alongside Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne in the upcoming film. That right there is a reason for Warner Bros. to pick up the phone and offer Pfeiffer as much catnip as she desires to seal the deal. I say this not only for The Flash but for the possibility of establishing other spinoffs in the DCEU. Do you know how many killer comic book stories there are revolving around an aged Batman and Catwoman? Hell, writer Tom King and artist Clay Mann are in the midst of releasing "Batman/Catwoman" for DC Comics right now, which features mature takes on Batman, Selina, and Joker. Do that!

My excitement for the possibilities aside, there's no indication that Warner Bros. is ready to offer Pfeiffer the part, even if it is a fantastic idea. For now, we'll have to see what Zoe Kravitz brings to the table when she plays Selina Kyle/Catwoman for Matt Reeves' upcoming The Batman, which is scheduled for 2022. With the DCEU poised to introduce its version of the Multiverse when The Flash races onto screens, there's no telling who could show up. We could end up with multiple Catwomen!
