Is This Anne Hathaway as Catwoman??? (I Hope Not!)

[Updated with second picture at 7:53 PT] RPadholic tokz tweeted me a picture of Anne Hathaway from the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. People are divided on whether this is Hathaway in a Catwoman costume or if she’s portraying Selina Kyle in civilian garb. I think the latter argument is wishful thinking because the costume looks like crap. It certainly doesn’t look like anything a real human (that’s not headed to an S&M club) would wear. I think Anne is the hotness, but this costume makes her look like Trinity’s understudy from The Matrix.

What do you think? Is it Catwoman? Or is it Selina? What do you think of the outfit? What the hell’s up with goggles?!?

  1. Well from what i can see it could possibly be her in the beginning stages of her catwoman costume. I think the goggles are something he can use while driving the batcycle ( she just jacked) at night.

    1. Bah! She wouldve been such a knockout in the batman returns catwoman suit! I'm kinda meh on her casting now.

  4. why do you people question christopher nolan?

    the dude will make it work. I remember saying "heath ledger as the joker?"

    have faith, people.

    1. Thundercraker is right, when I heard about that I was really upset and we all know how that turned out.

      2. I know you don't want us to +1 your comments Ray, but that one was too perfect for me to pass up.

        Waiting to pass judgement on her character is something I will do. That will not stop me from judging her appearance now though—which is not easy to get past. It was not well put together, even if her character is supposed to be new and edgy they should have gone a different way if they wanted her to be a good looking character. Form fitting ass-less leather chaps could have worked for her if they really wanted to draw viewers eyes away from those hideous goggles (despite the fact that they probably serve a functional purpose).

    2. I'm not saying it's not going to work. I'm just disappointed in her not showing off her assets.

      2. Yeah, I think we're all disappointed that she isn't showing off her ass…

        …

        …

        ets.

    1. Your post isn't showing Ray.

      Yeah I think Nolan is just trying to avoid having someone wear a suit with cat ears and purr.

  7. From reading other articles, I found out the WB released these pics so that the first released photos of Catwoman wouldn't be taken by my fellow yinzers in the fine city of Pittsburgh. Kind of like the photos of Bane.

    @ the Heath Ledger quip

    Sorry… but Nicholson was way better IMHO. It wasn't even Ledger's last film. Ledger's real last film was from a guy who directs circles around Nolan… Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame.

    If Ledger would have lived, I believe critics would have been much harsher on his portrayal. I know that back then whenever I tried to tell people "Ya know… he really strayed from the character we know alot."… People would snap back at me "Show some respect for the dead".

    1. I thought that Nicholson did a good job but i thought Ledger's performance was just a little bit better IMO. It made me feel like The Joker could actually exist in real life and i think thats what i like the best in the Nolan Batman franchise.

    2. I think they both did good jobs for the movies they were in. That said, I'm sure Nicholson would have rocked it as Joker in a realistic R-rated Batman movie.

    3. agree to disagree, sir

      The character we know has no place in the real world. Frank Miller and Neil Gaman, for example, did manage to put a realistic face on the joker. That being said, You cant really base the joker off of the detective comics origins. If you wanted to stay true to the character, he would have to be based in 1938..the year he was created. (That would be badass to see, because of the technological limitations. ) I just cant see Christopher Nolan doing a movie where everyone spoke like Phil Hartman in the 3 amigos…The amigos are off the lot..Take the amigos clothes

      This logic is somewhat hypocritical coming from me, as i hate how michael bay rebooted the transformers franchise, i feel like they should have set those movies (at least the first one) in the mid 80s. I just feel like, with batman, no one had ever tried to make the franchise seem plausible. Screenwriters dont get enough credit, huh?

      1. I'll agree to disagree.

        I think that if Carrot Top can exist in the real world… so could the traditional Joker.

    4. Wow, N8, I think you just opened up Pandora's Box with that comment. I liked the Dark Knight and I liked Batman (1989).

      In my mind, I've run the comparison gauntlet between the two "Batman & Joker" movies a few times and my reaction is still the same: They're different. Each are good in their own respective right. It all comes down to style. Nicholson's Joker was more "fun" while Ledger was more "trickster". Both did well in their own respective worlds. The only thing that put me off really was Christian Bale's "Bat-Rasp" and "Bat-Lisp". I'm pretty sure he was trying to imitate Kevin Conroy's signature dual Bruce Wayne/Batman voice, but he fell way short. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are the best sounding Batman and Joker voices I've ever heard.

      1. I liked Dark Knight too. You're right in the interpretation that they are different, but at the same time they are films and therefore art. I am critiquing them as separate art pieces by different artists.

        As far as direction style goes… I like Nolan better than Burton. I think Burton's style works best with original screenplays (Scissorhands, Big Fish, Beetlejuice, etc.). Nolan on the other hand has this David Fincher feel to his work that adapts very well to many stories where Burton tends to push the envelope more. My favorite Nolan movie is still Memento.

        As far as Nicholson's ability to do the role that Ledger did believably given different circumstances… How could someone watch the Departed and the Shining and not think Jack would be capable? The man really is the best living embodiment we as the human race have for the Joker.

        Now… I'm also kinda weird about what an actor should be. The way I see it, the screenwriter is responsible for the lines, dialogue, and overall story, the director is responsible for the look and the feel (including the feel emanated by the actors), and the actors #1 task is to have the ability to carry out the director's vision as instructed. Sometimes movies are written around actors for this reason. Directors rehire actors based on their ability to do this.

        All that said… Nolan is the kind of guy that could have cast Carrot Top as the Joker and made it work. Because he's that good, he tends to pull from a stable of actors who seem to be his friends.

  8. I think Ledger's Joker is overrated; it was decent for the movie and his character portrayal fit the tone of the movie. Each time I watch The Dark Knight and then watch any other portrayal of the Joker, the more I feel that Ledger's character isn't the Joker I ever loved in the Batman series. The actions and lines delivered by Mark Hamill's portrayal of the Joker are always my favorite. If anyone truly captures the spirit of the Joker I always say it is Hamill. His lines are witty, violent, deranged, funny, and IMO realistic enough for a psychotic villain.

    Any of the animated series and more recently Arkham Asylum show the Joker I am entertained by most. All this said I still prefer Nicholson's Joker to Ledger's and feel that his character portrayal fit the tone of that movie while also agreeing that Nicholson's character would have been awesome in a realistic R-rated version.

    It would be interesting to see a very realistic version of Batman, but that seems unlikely. I will also agree that none of the Batman movies have ever felt remotely plausible to me. There have been some interesting period choices (Burton's movies), but only the animated series seems to have ever created a plausible world for Batman to exist in. Perhaps that is simply because when viewing an animated series a person immediately assumes that some liberties will be taken with the story.
