Anne Hathaway Rides The Rocket In First Official Catwoman Photo From Dark Knight Rises

As you might expect from a Nolan joint, the outfit is both practical and cool.

Me...ow?
Me...ow?

You can find a much higher-res version of that image at this link, should you desire. I've always been curious about the look of Selina Kyle in Dark Knight Rises (knowing Nolan, I'm curious if he even calls her Catwoman), but, as one might expect, it's less of a sexpot costume like Michelle Pfeifer wore and more of a practical affair from the looks of it, exactly the kind of skin-tight, cleavage-less affair that a cat burglar might wear. She appears to be driving a Batpod, curiously, although given the military origins of the technology as people pointed out in this week's Bane costume post, it's possible that she picked one up on the black market rather than stole it from Bruce Wayne or anything.

WWTDD.com has a bunch of pictures of a stuntwoman dressed in the outfit actually driving a Batpod, but I'm assuming her appearance in the scene in the shots is intended to be a surprise, so I'll leave you to click on the link if you wish to see them. They're paparazzi shots, so they're from far away and a bit small. The image above should be enough to start a decent little debate, though...

Anne is looking good.  I hope that's an early version of her costume in the movie.  What a hot pussy cat.

I approve.

looks practical. Now will we see her topless in this movie since she seems to do that alot in movies.

This just looks like a girl on a motorcycle. Is this a shot of Ms. Kyle before she becomes Catwoman? I can't help but feel that the costume is a bit too far on the practical side, sacrificing the appearance of a known character.

Still not sold on this movie but hey, I can dig Anne Hathaway in that costume.

Joeston Aug. 5, 2011 at 10:23 a.m.
I think she looks ridiculous.
Moviemaniacon Aug. 5, 2011 at 10:24 a.m.
I don't like the costume. It looks a little lame.
snake_runneron Aug. 5, 2011 at 10:24 a.m.
I wonder if she'll have a whip?

I posted this in the comic vine forum, thought it was kinda comical:

"Lol it's funny reading the comments on the Screened forum for this post and on Comic Vine. Screened people accept it and say it's cool, Comic Vine people semi tear it apart."

She looks like Black Widow, not Catwoman :/

"Anne Hathaway Rides the Rocket"
 
Hehehe...

Those goggles look very dumb.

These studio lit promo images always look horrible. Once you see the costume in motion with the appropriate post-production/colour grading I'm sure it will look great.

This is Christopher Nolan people, pretty sure he knows what he's doing.

I neither like nor dislike Anne Hathaway, but this feels wrong.
Also, I love watching Tom Hardy, but that Bane design looks so out of place to me in the Christopher Nolan Batman universe.
Derangelon Aug. 5, 2011 at 10:50 a.m.

Works for me. As much as I'd love to see her in a skin-tight leather cat suit I can completely understand why Nolan would go the practical route and maybe not even call her Catwoman. After having my doubts about DKR and being rather blown away by the movie I'm just going to relax and wait.

This is not a picture of Catwoman, no matter what the article says or whoever released the photo claims.  There is nothing "catty" about that costume. Even if this is 90% of the Catwoman costume, it is still missing the mask part in which all of the "identity" of the costume resides. Without it, this just looks like Anne Hathaway in a rubber suit with some funky goggles riding a motorcycle. Also, you can't really see anything of the costume from this photo. That fat tire in the foreground looks pretty cool though.

She looks more like Black Widow than Catwoman.

How can any of you even draw conclusions of the suit from this picture? She's leaning forward on the bike, covering most of her body.

    A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

    Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

    When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
