Who Would You Rather: Michelle Pfeiffer vs. Julie Newmar

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

The release of the new Batman movie got us thinking about the next one, for which Christian Bale has already expressed interest, and how we feel it needs to include a certain element that's been missing from the first two...

...a really sexy female villain.

Catwoman appeared in Batman Returns in the form of Michelle Pfeiffer, but some people compared her unfavorably to Julie Newmar, who created the role for the TV series. Irregardless of acting talent, which of the two would you rather...?

I would let Julie Newmar upon a strap-on and f*** me up the ass.  Finally, a childhood dream fulfilled.

Oops.  I meant I would let Ms. Newmar PUT ON a strap-on.

The real question is who would win a "catfight" between Michelle Pfeiffer and Julie Newmar?  I say Ms. Newmar gets Michelle to submit (wink, wink) within three minutes.  And then the fun would really begin!

Did you just say irregardless?!  Yikes.

Awesome post.  Great question.  I feel guilty for saying that I adore Michelle Pfeiffer.  I *should* say Julie Newmar to be cool, right?

Julie Newmar...ummm, 1966 Julie Newmar, that is.

fitandfun71 said:

Yes, 1966 Julie Newmar. All 5'11 of her and those 37 inch breasts!

I'll go with the unhip Pfeiffer too.

Julie wins!  Ms. Newmar, you earned this victory.  You are the ULTIMATE Catwoman for many, many fans.  Please take care.
