Wait ... Catwoman 2?

I've taken six tries so far at writing a scathing and witty introductory sentence to this post, but it seriously leaves me flabbergasted. Every clever and biting turn of phrase I invent seems too insufficient to hold all the pain, irony and sarcasm the following news deserves. I could probably write an entire opening chapter and not cover all the jokes that ache to be made here, but frankly, the simple statement itself is enough to convey all the above ideas and emotions I've described:Halle Berry is entirely willing to make a sequel to Catwoman.
I swear to you I am not making this up. Yes, Halle Berry, who railed against her writers, producers, agents ... really anyone she could find to blame for the critically (and non-critically) lambasted farce that was Catwoman the movie. In fact, at one point Berry avowed she would never return to the franchise... but of course this was after she'd sworn off superhero flicks for fear of being typecast only to months later accept the fated lead role in Catwoman. In a round table discussion in New York, Berry made the following statement: "If they seriously said, 'We want to do another one and here's how we're going to make it better because we learned from the mistakes,' I would because I believe we could make it better."
Seriously Halle, you could dress up an actual black cat in a cape and boots and film it running around in the grass chasing field mice and it would be a better Catwoman film than the one you created. Do yourself and comic book fans everywhere a favor and stay far, far away from any suggestions of a return to the franchise. Please.

She should be killed off in every film that she is in so that there is less of a chance of her returning to ruin another one...

I can't argue against Monsters Ball cause I haven't seen it, but name one film that she was in that Halle didn't ruin. I feel like Chris from Family Guy, "How does Halle Berry keep getting roles?!"

Bulworth! The movie's fantastic, and I daresay she's good in it as well (basically, she has to look sexy -- not much of a stretch, I'll admit).

Worst. Best. Actress. Winner. Ever.
Halle was a wonderful beauty queen, but anyone who thinks she's any sort of actress needs to get their head examined.

Halle Berry and Catwoman wasn't as lousy as everybody
is making to be.Her costume was and that is why kept
from enjoying at least better.Being a Marvel fan,though,whether or not Catwoman flops or not can
care less.

Before this film gets a reputation as a movie that was unfairly slammed by critics or underrated or a movie that didn't get its chance, we must really restate the obvious. Catwoman was so damned horrible. So absolutely atrocious in all respects.
