Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman, is a character portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer in Tim Burton's 1992 superhero film Batman Returns. Based on the DC Comics character of the same name, she is initially depicted as the meek assistant and secretary of wealthy industrialist Max Shreck, who pushes her out of a window when she uncovers his corruption. Selina survives the fall and swears revenge against Shreck as Catwoman, which brings her into conflict with Batman. She forms an alliance with the Penguin to disgrace Batman while beginning to date Bruce Wayne, unaware that he is Batman's alter ego. After discovering each other's secret identities, Selina ultimately rejects Bruce's plea to abandon her vengeance and kills Shreck before vanishing into the night.

When the film was released in June 1992, Pfeiffer's performance received near-unanimous praise and earned numerous accolades. Pfeiffer's portrayal of Catwoman is often considered the greatest portrayal of the character of all time as well as one of Pfeiffer's finest performances, though she regarded it as one of her most uncomfortable due to the sheer discomfort and inhibitions she suffered while wearing the costume.
