Annette Bening – Batman Returns

Of all the physical obstacles an actor can overcome to keep their role, there are some things that cannot be worked through and for Annette Bening, that was pregnancy. Originally cast as Selina Kyle in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, the Kansas native would eventually have to drop out of the project after learning of her pregnancy during filming. Given the heavy restraints of the Catwoman costume, there simply wasn't a feasible way for Bening to remain on board, so the opportunity was given to Michelle Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer would make the role her own and give one of the most iconic comic book film performances to date.
