Oddly enough, I never stopped to consider what Bruce might have done with Miss Kitty following the events of Batman Returns.


It's rather sweet to think that he and Alfred gave her a home and took care of her.

I do like that he still has "Ms. Kitty" from the end of Batman Returns.  8)

Same here.

As a kid watching Batman Forever, and being that there was a reference about Catwoman stated by Chase, I did kinda wonder whatever happened to the cat, Ms. Kitty, but I don't think I ever really lingered on that question too much as I just accepted it as something that was probably overlooked. Hell, given that I initially thought, in 1995, a actual Man-Bat sequence was left on the cutting room floor of "Batman Forever" (thanks to the trailers), I may have very well thought the same about a possible Ms. Kitty cameo just as well?

Another cat I remembering wondering about during this time frame, was the Cat from the Sly Stallone movie, "The Specialist". Sure, it's a guilty pleasure movie, and not one of Stallone's best movies, but I've always liked it a lot ever since I first saw it way back when. Prime sly. Prime Sharon Stone. Eric Roberts. Rod Steiger, and James Woods plays a incredibly fun and highly entertaining villain! Getting back to the point, Sly adopts a stray cat near the beginning of the movie (Trigger the cat I think ...?), and we see the cat escape with Sly and Sharon during the explosions sequence near the end of the film, however, the cat is no where to be seen with Sly and Sharon as they drive off into the sunset at the end. Like, WTF? Did the cat become a stray again, or maybe in the trunk?!?

Anyways, glad one of these cat mysteries is being acknowledged/resolved.  ;D

While we're on the subject, I'd like to know what happened to Jones from the first two Alien movies. He survived the Nostromo massacre only to be left behind on Gateway Station when Ripley returned to LV-426. Who took care of him after that?

That's a nice touch. Like with John Wick and his dog, Bruce having the cat demonstrates his compassionate side and could ultimately be the link to getting Selina back.

Yeah, I like Jones' last scene where Ripley tells him he's staying "here" (as in Earth), with him just kinda looking at her. I believe in the novelization of Alien 3, there is a passage where Ripley thinks of Jones the Cat at some point while on the prison planet, but soon after realizes that so much time has passed that Jones the Cat would be, unfortunately, deceased at that point.

I would like to think that, perhaps, a possible son/daughter/grand kid of Amanda Ripley might have taken Jones the Cat in? I know there wasn't much of a relationship between Ripley and Amanda, but Jones would certainly make for an interesting conversational adoption for someone in Amanda's family.

I choose to accept this as canon, which makes Jones the only member of the Nostromo crew to die a natural death. I like to think he lived a long and happy life and became extremely fat from being pampered and overfed by Ripley's descendants.

Some have mentioned that this looks like an evidence locker. The tag certainly looks like it. I guessed it could also be a hint that we will finally see the Batman store.

Batwing parts were recovered in one of the BR scripts. It's feasible Batman run into trouble, discarded his cowl for whatever reason and it was recovered by Police or used for sale. Lots of ideas are running around with these previews, though. That's a good sign.
