Significance:

Throughout this film, Catwoman and Patience are intertwined, constantly fighting for control over who they are or want to be. The significance of this film is about accepting one’s true nature and no longer hiding behind the fear of rejection. This is especially the case when the villainous plot is about obsessing over physical beauty, Catwoman's challenge to accept inner beauty becomes a driving factor in who she becomes. The idea of being one of the first female superheroes to appear on screen can drive the message that it's important for every woman to accept their inner beauty. Throughout the movie, the sequential art that is produced in action scenes, romantic scenes, and more helps demonstrate how Patience struggles to determine who she is and helps audiences relate to finding their own path in life.
