First Look: Anne Hathaway’s “Catwoman” in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

If you were thinking Christopher Nolan‘s Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, was going to have a skintight leather outfit in The Dark Knight Rises like we saw in Batman Returns and the horrific 2004 Catwoman film, you’re sorely mistaken. After all, Nolan prefers function along with form. His villains don’t prance around with their silly names, usually they are a moniker given by others. Harvey Dent isn’t known in this universe as Two-Face, and the only exception was The Joker, but he was simply crazy. We know Anne Hathaway would be playing the conflicted love interest/villain Selina Kyle in the film, and more than likely Catwoman would be a name the newspapers or media would give her. Being a cat burglar, she needs to be tech savvy and get away from the scene quickly. As evidenced by the photo, she’s wearing tactical goggles and driving Batman‘s Bat Pod. Did he lend it to her? Did she steal it? It’s hard to say at this point, but I’m loving the look they’re giving her. The photo simply popped up on thedarkknightrsies.com and labels her as Selina Kyle, and hopefully we’ll get more great photos from the movie as we inch towards the July 20, 2012 release date. Take a full look at the photo below, and let us know what you think.
