First Look at (What We're Told is) Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises
Fri, August 5, 2011 After photos were taken of her on set in Pittsburgh yesterday, Warner Brothers (in a move similar to going ahead and throwing out the premiere unveiling of Henry Cavill as Superman) have released the first official look at Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.
It doesn't exactly look like what I imagined the actress would when she was first announced in the role. Not going to fall on the standard "In Nolan we trust..." reply because one, I find that rather lazy at this point (i.e. It's OK to say you didn't like it at first glance. Even if it is something from Christopher Nolan, Internet!) and two, the truth is I always give the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt. I still remember back in early 2000 when those X-Men suits leaked and everyone was freaking out, and the movie turned out fine.
Having said that, no I don't care for this look.

Huh, Catwoman on the (a) Batpod. Interesting. I'm not crazy about it, though I wonder if the glasses/goggles we see here are scene specific, rather than being her actual "Catwoman Goggles." The leather outfit is fine and it zips in the front, like the comics, so she theoretically could take on a more comic-like look at some point in the film. Like the Cavill pic, the "suit" is mostly hidden so it's hard to tell what it really looks like.
I only have a problem with the goggles. Where is her mask? Hopefully she only has those goggles in this scene. In Nolan I trust!
I was kinda hoping they would bring a bit of sex appeal back to the films, but I was obviously way off on this. It will probably make sense in Nolan's universe, but sometimes I wish he would ease back on the "realism".
