Michelle Pfeiffer reacts to Britney Spears calling her 'a freaking God' as Catwoman

When Britney Spears sang about cracking a whip in her 2008 single "Circus," she might have been thinking of Batman Returns star Michelle Pfeiffer doing just that as Catwoman.

In a passionate Instagram post on Tuesday evening, the pop superstar praised Pfeiffer's take on the DC Comics villainess in Tim Burton's 1992 superhero epic

"Of course, [Michelle Pfeiffer] whom I've never met is the character… she is sick in this movie in the most [un]conventional way possible !!!" Spears wrote

"There's been a lot of remakes since then well damn tons, but honestly I don't think anyone can come even close to that scene alone !!!

Amid a flurry of other supportive comments from the Oscar nominee herself chimed in with mutual admiration for Spears

"Wow Britney! Thank you for the beautiful compliment," Pfeiffer replied. "I'm a huge fan."
