The writer of 'Batman Returns,' Waters, has expressed dissatisfaction with Tim Burton's 1989 'Batman' film. Tim Burton had plans for a 'Catwoman' spin-off movie, described as an $18 million black-and-white film, similar to the original 'Cat People,' which would depict Selina Kyle living quietly in a small town.

Additionally, the screenwriter revealed that there were two very different takes for the proposed Catwoman spinoff.
