Catty: Sean Young stormed into producer-director Tim Burton’s office in Catwoman garb last week to find out why she was passed over for the role of the feline foe in “Batman 2.” She didn’t get to see Burton, but she did manage to get a homemade video of the incident on “Entertainment Tonight.” Well, Warner Bros. issued an official statement with an answer for Young: “For the second installment of ‘Batman,’ we had a very particular vision in mind for the role of Catwoman, and we didn’t feel Sean Young was right for the part; hence, we didn’t pursue her.” Michelle Pfeiffer was cast as Catwoman when pregnant Annette Bening dropped out of the film.
