What We Think

A relic of early-2000s female empowerment, Catwoman dabbles in “woke” themes, though it feels more superficial and dated than aggressively ideological by today’s standards. Still, it checks several boxes for forced empowerment and undermined tradition.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Catwoman (2004) significantly emphasizes its female lead and her transformation, but these identity aspects don’t fully overwhelm the story. That said, the focus on empowerment sometimes comes at the expense of deeper character development or a coherent plot, resulting in contrived moments and some forced empowerment messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity is sidelined and occasionally mocked, and the family unit is largely absent. The film does elevate its female protagonist while painting many male characters as clueless or secondary, a fairly transparent, if dated, take on subverting standard gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While it doesn’t overtly villainize non-feminist perspectives, most characters align with the film’s empowerment theme. Traditional viewpoints aren’t deeply explored, but there’s little direct mockery or preaching, keeping it in the mid-range for this category.
