How 'Batman Returns’s Iconic Costume Created Real Physical Challenges: Michelle Pfeiffer’s Vacuum-Sealed Catwoman Costume Pushed Her Limits
The hidden danger behind tight catwoman suit.
Michelle Pfeiffer revealed that her iconic Catwoman costume in Batman Returns was vacuum sealed once she was fitted into it for filming. This meant she had only a limited amount of time to perform scenes before the suit would need to be opened or she risked becoming lightheaded or passing out.
The tight, form-fitting costume created significant physical challenges, as it restricted her movement and breathing. To ensure her safety, the costume was sealed in a way that required quick work to open if necessary.
Pfeiffer’s dedication to portraying the character meant she had to perform within these constraints, pushing through discomfort to bring the fierce and agile Catwoman to life on screen.
