Nolan's Catwoman IS Julie Newmar Influenced?
Sat, September 24, 2011 "Where are her ears" cried the fanboys when the first Catwoman pic was revealed. It was bad enough there was no cowl but the lack of enough feline symbolism enraged certain sections of the fandom.
Many other fans pointed out a similarity with the Julie Newmar version from the 60's TV show, and those with a keen eye noted the LED goggles seemed to be covering a domino mask, so when flipped up they'd create ears.
Well Just Jared has nabbed these pics from filming today on the TDKR set in LA, and it looks like the theories have been confirmed. Does that mean no cowl at all? not definitely, but it does appear that Nolan has drawn his influence from the most unlikely of sources for his version of Catwoman, as most would have expected Jim Lee's now iconic design to be the basis, including yours truly.
........Oh, and Batman was on set as well!
AND someone over at Nolanfans.com grabbed a video, below is said video and a description of what you are seeing given the spy-like way it's shot.
Leaked video from showing Batman and Catwoman in action following the chase and crashing of the HEMTT. Gordon *may* also appear in this shot. Batman walks to the HEMTT and hooks the winch from the batwing to something in the back of the smoking HEMTT while Catwoman watches, dunno how she got there in her stilettos. Batman and Catwoman hug before he gets back in the batwing and lifts off to fly away with whatever was in the back of Bane's truck.

Kind of makes sense. Not what I expected at all, but seems to taylor to Hathaway's classic actress style.
better not to hide the beautiful actress' face
Jim Lee didn't design the modern costume, Darwyn Cooke did. His wife came up with the goggles idea IIRC!
For career, dare not say what improvement.
