PREPARE FOR THE fur to fly in Catwoman: Hunted. The new animated DC film finds Batman’s most cunning adversary pulling off her latest caper: stealing a priceless jewel. However, when the escapade goes awry, it pits the notorious cat burglar against a cadre of villains and Interpol.
“I wanted to tell this heist film that revealed something deeper underneath,” screenwriter Greg Weisman tells Red Alert. “Catwoman seems to be all charm and all about the fun of the heist. But there’s an underlying current. She has an agenda, which goes beyond theft for wealth. She has reasons for what she’s doing that are real and serious and deep, but you would never know it. Once in a while, the truth seeps out, but it’s nothing that she reveals easily.
“She is still, first and foremost, a thief,” he continues. “There’s an appeal to that. There are a hundred ways to solve a problem, and she is going to choose a certain way to do it. She’s not a murderer. She cares about people – in particular, the vulnerable. I don’t want to whitewash her into, ‘She’s a hero now, but she’s still a thief’. But it’s hard not to be sympathetic when the people you’re stealing from are the mob.”
As Catwoman goes from hunter to hunted, a reluctant ally steps in to aid her… Batwoman. On one level, the two women stand as complete opposites. Catwoman is “flippant, to a degree that is borderline nuts. Batwoman is straightforward, serious and all about getting the job done,” says Weisman. Below the surface, however, there are similarities.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
