Batman and Suppression

So, I was watching Batman Returns yesterday with some of my friends (we decided to watch the original 4 movies since Batman Begins and Dark Knight came out), and I realized many things about it that I was completely unaware of when watching as a young child.

First of all, I had no idea how very sexual the entire movie was. Of course, having Catwoman in leaves a movie open to lines like, "Here's just the pussy I was looking for," but the writer didn't miss any opportunity for innuendo.

Really, though, I'm confused as to why Catwoman is a villain. Is it because she wrecks a department store? Is it simply because she doesn't like Batman? Or is it because she represents female sexuality, a woman not willing to be dominated by a man?

This movie is about what our culture expects. A woman who obeys society is an easy target for a man, but a woman who is strong, comfortable with her own sexuality and able to protect herself is evil.
