Britney Spears calls Michelle Pfeiffer’s ‘Batman Returns’ breakdown ‘the hottest scene I’ve ever seen in my life’

There’s a scene from “Batman Returns” that Britney Spears just wants to watch one more time.

The “Baby One More Time” icon penned a tribute to another legendary blonde: Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman in Tim Burton’s classic 1992 film “Batman Returns.”

“I feel like she’s the most charming, sexiest, seductive woman,” Spears said on Instagram alongside the scene where Pfeiffer transforms into anti-hero Selina Kyle. “This scene is probably the hottest scene I’ve ever seen in my life!!! Of course @michellepfeifferofficial I’ve never met is the character [cat emoji]. She’s sick in this movie in the most conventional way possible!!!”

Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle reaches a breaking point after enduring sexual harassment and surviving an attempted murder. Sick of being a professionally neglected and overworked secretary, Selina sharpens her claws as Catwoman instead.

“The disaster she exposes before the gates of hell is revealed in anticipation and biting at its best,” the ‘Toxic’ superstar continued. “She gives hell a whole new meaning. I respect that. There have been many remakes since, well, tons, but honestly, I don’t think anyone can approach this scene alone!!!

Spears concluded, “I know she has no idea who I am, but I just want to let her know that some silly southern girl always thought she was a freaking god and I have so many respect for her it’s kinda crazy!!!Thank you for doing your job in such a beautiful way, one and only Pfeiffer!!!”

Pfeiffer herself commented, “Wow Britney! Thanks for the nice compliment – I’m a huge fan.

Zoë Kravitz recently portrayed Catwoman in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman.” The ‘Pussy Island’ writer-director told Entertainment Tonight that she was “inspired” by all the Catwomen who came before her.

The story continues

“I think the way everyone from Julie Newmar to Eartha Kitt, Halle [Berry]and Michelle [Pfeiffer], they completely owned the character,” Kravitz said. “I was inspired by the fact that they all did their thing.”

At the film’s 30th anniversary earlier this year, Pfeiffer confirmed that playing Catwoman was “one of the hardest things” she’s done in her career. Yes, she even still has the whip.

And we all agree, it’s hot.
