Shazam!
The film felt stagnant, offering little progression in Arthurs transformation into the Joker.
The surreal musical numbers, meant to add a creative twist, werewidely panned as underwhelming and tonally inconsistent.
The plot juggles multiple villains.
Audiences and critics widely criticized the film for its campy tone, over-the-top performances, andgarish production design.
The excessive use of puns, especially from Schwarzeneggers Mr.
Freeze, made the movie feel like an unintentional parody of itself.
The film starsJosh Brolin,Megan FoxandJohn Malkovich.
For DC, the movie was a missed opportunity to showcase one of its more unique antiheroes.
This time, Arcane seeks to extend his life by experimenting with grotesque genetic mutations.
Meanwhile, Arcanes stepdaughter, Abby, visits him in search of answers about her mother’s death.
After overhearing her bosses sinister plan to release the harmful product, Patience is murdered to keep the secret.
She is mysteriously resurrected by an ancient Egyptian cat, granting her feline-like agility and heightened senses.
Transformed into Catwoman, she seeks revenge against her killers while uncovering the full extent of the companys corruption.
The subpar CGI, questionable costume design, and cringe-worthy film didnt help its case.
Beyond the bad reviews,Catwomanwas a disastrous experiment for DCs brand.
