By the time that Batman returned, a rival party was set up on the other bank of the Yarra and an uneasy standoff had developed.

Originally shown every afternoon, the FOX series moved to the Saturday morning FOX line-up in the spring of 1994. At the same time the series ... brought Robin back, possibly responding to the word that a new Batman, film to be released in 1995, would again include Robin in its plot.

[I]t was going to be Michelle Pfeiffer, reprising her role from "Batman Returns." Then Ashley Judd was a lock. Then it was going to be Halley Berry. But then Nicole Kidman was ready to sign up. And now, finally, it looks like Berry (again) is going to star in "Catwoman," a feature film based (very) loosely on the DC Comics femme fatale. French director Pitof will helm the project.
