New Set Photos of Catwoman in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

She’s really the one driving that?!
But they can barely steer the thing with a professional driver back then! Really nice to see her doing her own stunts:D

Love the pose!

It appears Black Widow entered the TDKR set and stole the Bat-POD……… Hally Berry is looking good after this,….

I don’t see why anyone is surprised by this. I don’t really think any of the characters in Nolan’s interpretation of the material look like they do in the comics. Sure, Batman has his cape and cowl, but his suit is made of functional armor. Ra’s Al Ghul simply wore a suit; no cape. Scarecrow isn’t a guy dressed up like a scarecrow; he simply uses a burlap sack. Joker was a raw interpretation as well; smeared make up, messy hair. How would a homicidal maniac treat his appearance? Would he have a well groomed green coif and flawlessly applied makeup? Doubtful. They’re all grounded in reality.

I think the costume design, in all cases in Nolan’s versions is driven by the question: what would these people (none of which have actual super powers) look like in real life? What resources do they have available to them. Batman is rich. His mask was manufactured for him and his suit was designed by Wayne Enterprises. We don’t know how Selina Kyle’s character is being written for the movie. It might not make sense for her to don cat ears. Her costume needs to be functional for her character’s roll in the film. What are her goggles for? Where did she get them. Who knows? But it will be explained in the movie. As for Bane, I would never have counted on him having tubes going into the back of his head. One, I think it’s silly and not something Nolan would do. Two, it’s ridiculous vulnerability. Just cut the tubes. It’s more likely, that in this version, Venom (although I doubt it will be referred to as Venom in the movie) is some kind of vaporized drug he needs to keep him alive. I also wouldn’t count on seeing him turn into some behemoth. Why? Because that’s impossible in real life. More likely, he is just one genius level, hard motherf__er. And the lucha libre mask…get serious. It has no place i a Nolan Batman film. It’s completely nonfunctional, other to hide his identity, but who wants to get an actor like Tom Hardy and then cover up his face for his performance (same reason the Green Goblin’s mask was designed to partially reveal Willem Dafoe’s face in Spiderman). The new mask looks menacing, conceals his identity but allows the audience to see his eyes, and probably serves some other purpose that will be explained in the movie.

I know there are some die hard comic fans out there that want to see their favorite characters preserved, but c’mon. Maybe you don’t like how Nolan tries to ground these characters in the real world, but you’ve seen the first two movies. You know how he operates. I just don’t what you all were expecting.

So I guess this all solidifies the “Batcopter” rumors, right? I mean, everyone gets a hold of his shit, he doesnt really have a choicce but to step his game up, no?

Will we see Bane breaking Batman’s backbone at the end ?
It will be the final opus indeed.

I’m just really disappointed that they have Anne Hathaway as catwoman. She’s a good actress and all but she just doesn’t match the part. In a way it ruins the movie for me, I’m still going to see it but I feel iffy about it since she’ll be playing the part. He could have done a better job casting this role.

So…does anyone else think that MAYBE she’s going to be a baddie & that she’s there with Bane? I mean…it looks like she’s jackin the BatPod during the ruckus to me & it also appears that the mask she’s wearing is Wayne tech/modified material.

Anyone?

Nolan did say that Catwoman was essentially a skilled thief, and that that’s the element of her character that was going to be played up in this movie, so I don’t really have a problem with the glasses seeing as they’ll most likely serve as infra-red, night-vision, safe-cracking glasses.. or something along those lines. It’s kinda hard to think of how and why a woman would ideally want to don a cat-ear like getup to steal stuff. I’m guessing being and acting cat-like will sorta just be a core part of her character, not so much looking like one per-se.

You can all quite freakin out about the cat ears..your staring right at them. Notice how the edges of the goggles rise up a bit, forming soft round tips? In other words, when she puts the the goggles into a resting position on the top of her head it’ll look like two little cat ears poking up. Go ahead, take a closer look. Ill wait.

I get that he is trying to base his characters in reality, but at some point you have to say, hey, I’m making a movie based on a COMIC BOOK and throw a bit more unrealistic qualities into it, such as a costume with cat ears.

If you want a faithful adaption of a comic book, watch Zac Snyder. Nolan is only faithful to the minuscule amount. There could be a reason why Anne was casted as Seline Kyle, not Catwoman (she’ll probably have the skills of Catwoman but not her name, I would find it funny hearing Christian Bale say “Catwoman”, he didn’t even say “two-face” in TDK).

Which is why I am curious on Superman, Zac Snyder does arguably the most faithful adaption of a comic book I have seen, while his producer doesnt really care about comics. Hmmm…can’t wait for the trailers for both (Though Snyder is, like michael bay, the master of the trailers)
