Anne Hathaway's Catwoman revealed
It has been a long time coming, but the first official picture of Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman from the upcoming Dark Knight Rises has finally made an appearance.
The 28 year old is pictured on the back of a two wheeled vehicle very similar to the breakaway part of the Batmobile in Chris Nolan’s Batman series, and appears to be wearing a black leather catsuit and high-tech goggles.
In the past, Catwoman’s appearance attitude have been very sexual, including Michelle Pfeiffer’s PVC outfit in Batman Returns and the leather bra and trouser combo worn by Halle Berry in the very lacklustre Catwoman.
Nolan made it clear though, that Anne Hathaway’s version of Catwoman would have more tactile appearance. Remember, this is not comic book characters in a comic book world, Nolan’s vision has been most impressive for removing the colourful characters of previous Batman films – for example Jim Carey’s Riddle and Arnie’s Mr Freeze – and replaced them with real criminals who use a guise as their cover. We’ve had a scarred and made up Joker a world away from the toxic waste creation in Tim Burton’s Batman, and a hideously scarred Two-Face, again a lot different from Tommy Lee Jones’ version in Batman Forever.
So while many will be quick to criticise the lack of sexiness of Catwoman, bear in mind that this is real world Batman – not a flashy fantasy one.
