* AtTheOperaTonight: Villain George Hedare takes his mistress to a Creator/CirqueDuSoleil-style performance; the latter is bored and leaves... just in time for the heroine to take her place in the private box and confront him. She dodges the security officers by jumping onto the stage and scrambling up the back wall; the audience thinks she's AllPartOfTheShow and applauds.

* StupidEvil: It's a mystery how Laurel and George presumably thought no one would connect the extremely distinctive injuries/deaths of numerous people, who'd either just bought or regularly used their cosmetics, back to their company; or that if the truth did emerge they wouldn't be in serious trouble. Their justification is that the worst side effects -- aka '''''facial disintegration''''' -- only happen if you stop using Beau-Line, and they'll just make sure people keep buying it to be certain no one finds that out. This, despite the fact that they can't possibly control the spending habits of every single one of their customers, a lot of whom would naturally seek medical advice about the lesser side effects of the cream (like the headaches and fainting spells that eventually land Sally in the hospital), their skin gradually losing all sensation and becoming hard to the touch, and their faces ''melting'' if they stop using Beau-Line for whatever reason. Laurel even boasts about the cream preventing aging by making skin and flesh as hard as marble, and honestly seems to think that this is something people would want. Even in the unlikely event that no one died, there would still be a class-action lawsuit the likes of which has never been seen; particularly since the customers would be furious that they were tricked into getting addicted to a product the company '''knew''' was dangerous before widespread release... and which they would still have to ''keep'' using if they didn't want their faces to be destroyed. In fact, if Patience had just done nothing at all, the regular authorities would still have taken care of everything in quick order.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: African-American Patience Philips is established as the latest successor to the Catwoman name.
* AllPartOfTheShow: After confronting the male villain in his box seat, the heroine escapes security guards in a theater by leaping onto the stage and scrambling up the back wall -- but since the show is in the style of Creator/CirqueDuSoleil, the audience thinks she's just an acrobat and applaud her feat.



* AtTheOperaTonight: Villain George Hedare takes his mistress to a Creator/CirqueDuSoleil-style performance; the latter is bored and leaves... just in time for the heroine to take her place in the private box and confront him. She dodges the security officers by jumping onto the stage and scrambling up the back wall; the audience thinks she's AllPartOfTheShow and applauds.



* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Patience has to crawl through a waste pipe and gets drowned by a massive jet of sewage. However, when she washes up on shore, she's only just got a bit of dirt on her face.



* CanonForeigner: There are absolutely ''zero'' characters in this movie originating from any point in DC Comics history. Not even Catwoman herself, whose secret identity is Patience Philips here as opposed to Selina Kyle.

to:

* BigBad: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Laurel Hedare]], who plans to ship her deadly Beau-care skin care product worldwide and frames Catwoman for murder.
* CanonForeigner: There are absolutely ''zero'' characters in this movie originating from any point in DC Comics history. Not even Catwoman herself, whose secret identity is Patience Philips here as opposed to Selina Kyle. Kyle.
* CardboardBoxOfUnemployment: After dying and getting resurrected with feline powers, an overconfident Patience lays out a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her BadBoss George Hedare in front of the entire office. She's fired on the spot and told to clean out her cubicle. Cue Patience walking down the street with obligatory cardboard box of office paraphernalia.



* CrocodileTears: The titular character confronts the villainess in her home, who reveals her husband's dead body which just so happens to be covered in deep scratches, right before she triggers an alarm and cues crocodile tears, screaming [-"IT WAS CATWOMAN!"-]



* DatingCatwoman: Patience a.k.a. Catwoman and Tom Lone, although Tom doesn't know about her alter ego [[spoiler: at first]].

Added DiffLines:

* EyeAwaken: When Patience Phillips appears to have been killed, her iris suddenly transforms to reveal that she is alive.


Added DiffLines:

* FerrisWheelOfDoom: A Ferris wheel mysteriously breaks down while the leads are on it, allowing Tom to shut down the motor and stop it, and Patience to save a little boy who falls out of a seat that somehow suffers a structural failure at the same time.


Added DiffLines:

* AGlassInTheHand: The villain crushes her glass and marvels at how her hand is completely unscathed, an attempt at TheReveal. Unfortunately, it didn't work so well, considering how ground into the mind SoftGlass is.


Added DiffLines:

* HeistClash: On her first night out as Catwoman, Patience breaks into a jewelry store while it is being robbed by other thieves. Patience makes short work of them and takes their loot.

* InterruptedSuicide: The title character chases her cat on a ledge and is [[MistakenForSuicidal mistaken for a jumper]], almost falling to her death in the process.
* ItsASmallNetAfterAll: Subverted. When Patience Phillips looks up "cats" on Google, she gets a ton of irrelevant hits of little old ladies dressing their pet cats in ridiculous costumes. She then tries the more specific search "cat worship"; although this does cue a creepy plot-relevant montage of cat cults throughout history, the images she gets are believably of the sort you'd expect to get if you tried to search that on Google.

Other than the main character being a cat-themed anti-heroine who dresses in black leather and wields a whip, there's no resemblance.

Never mind the fact that they can't possibly control the spending habits of every single one of their customers, a lot of whom would naturally seek medical advice about the lesser side effects of the cream (like the headaches and fainting spells that eventually land Sally in the hospital), their skin gradually losing all sensation and becoming hard to the touch, and their faces ''melting'' if they stop using Beau-Line for whatever reason. Laurel even boasts about the cream preventing aging by making skin and flesh as hard as marble, and honestly seems to think that this is something people would want. Even in the unlikely event that no one died, there would still be a class-action lawsuit the likes of which has never been seen; particularly when several high-profile customers learned that they were tricked into getting addicted to a product the company '''knew''' was dangerous before widespread release...and which they would still have to keep using if they didn't want their faces to be destroyed. In fact, if Patience had just done nothing at all, the regular authorities would still have taken care of everything in quick order.
