In 2004, Catwoman, a movie, was produced, loosely based on the comics version of Catwoman. Catwoman was played by Halle Berry. This film's Catwoman bore nearly no resemblance to the comic version, besides sharing the name "Catwoman." In the film, Berry played Patience Phillips, a woman who eventually became Catwoman, a hero with supernatural cat-like powers, after a near death experience. Patience had gained the powers from the goddess Bastet, through a gathering of cats lead by an Egyptian Mau. The movie alludes to other women in the past who have been granted such cat like abilities. Though Phillips has the same skills as the villain version of Catwoman, the film's story has nothing to do with Batman (who isn't mentioned during the film). The film was heavily criticized by both film critics and fans of the comic book character, and was not a box office success.

In the scene where Patience is told of the history of the Catwomen, she is pushed off the balcony and lands in the living room floor. Ophelia Powers then throws photos of previous catwomen down to her, and one can clearly see a picture of Michelle Pfeiffer's "Batman Returns" version of the character, which hints that either there is some link between Patience Phillips and Selina Kyle, or that it was done as a means of paying homage to the original character.
