And now we know why he 'rises':



The movie is the first in the franchise to get a PG-13 rating because of "sensuality", so it will be interesting to see if there is any hankie-pankie in the movie. Although with assets like these, I can see where the sensuality is coming from .

I see Anne Hathaway photoshopped into Catwoman. It doesn't look very good at all to me.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face.

I have had a bad feeling about this 3rd Batman movie since it was announced about Bane, and that they cast Anne Hathaway as Catwoman....
Are they up against a 3 movie deal contract and are just slopping it together because they just don't care anymore?
There are a lot of better villains as well as casting choices than Anne 'Princess Diaries' Hathaway....
I guess it is just to hard to put a good 3rd film in this series to follow on after Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Now that I think of it you know who might be an interesting choice as Catwoman, Beth Riesgraf, from Leverage.

Well, considering how few folks online had any conception beforehand how good Heath "Ten Things I Hate About You" Ledger would be, and considering how good the first two were, I tend to take pessimistic predictions about this one with a rather large grain of salt.

Pretty much. I was fond of how the Nolanverse tried to ground itself in something less cheesy. This isn't nearly bat nipples bad, but it really doesn't feel like it fits with the rest of the aesthetic developed by the previous two films.

Well, the whole costume is clearly designed for sex appeal, rather than pragmatism. As long as it makes sense for the character to make that her priority, then the costume makes sense.

Fafnir wrote:Not a fan of the heels. I mean, I don't particularly care for the outfit much at all, but the heels just kill it.


The heels are supposedly detachable -- there's talk about them being weapons or tolls or some such.

C & P time

1. It’s the shoes. Men dig the shoes.

The stiletto heels still look ridiculous, but they look significantly less ridiculous now we can see how they fit with the rest of the boots. Hathaway’s reference to them being detachable as weapons seems to make a lot more sense now and these almost look like those ‘crampon’ attachments hardware stores sell every time all that global warming that isn’t happening causes freakish snow falls. In fact, these could be climbing spikes too. There’s certainly something very climbing shoe-esque about the foot of the boots, which looks designed to hold the foot in a specific position which isn’t necessarily the one we’re seeing here.

2.The Jim Balent Commemorative Boot Jamboree

Those boots are just Jim Balent-tastic aren’t they? Interestingly, and this bears out the removable heels claim, they also look a little baggy. The look here is clearly the sort of pseudo-dom thing that the character has played with for years but it might, just, also be practical.

3.Cat Shark Repellant Not Included

The Cat Utility belt looks a little thin on the ground doesn’t it? Hathaway’s made reference to how the goggles in particular do a lot of the character’s work for her and that’s certainly born out by the small amount of small pouches on her belt. Normally I’d say this embodies the character’s basically non lethal approach, fists and feet approach to combat but then there’s item 4…

4.The Gun

Catwoman is packing heat. It’s hard to tell exactly what from the angle and the frankly irritating black pseudo-comic border around the image, but it looks a lot like one of the new Heckler and Koch sidearms.

However, I’d argue it’s not what sort of pistol that’s important but the fact we’re being shown it this early in proceedings. It implies, very heavily, that Catwoman has absolutely no problem with gun play in exactly the way Batman does. It also implies that her using that is an important plot point, especially as we’re being shown it this early.

5.Shark Skinning A Cat

The material of her, well, catsuit, has a very interesting and very specific pattern to it. It’s visually similar to the pseudo-chainmail in Thor’s costume, weirdly, and if I had to guess, I’d say it’s some sort of armour, possibly designed to spread kinetic impact as wide as possible. Not quite as stylish as these but you get the idea.

6.Cat’s Eyes

Apparently the character’s goggles are another vital part of her work loadout and we can see a tiny hint of that here. The domino mask looks to have some sort of connection port under the eyes for the ‘ear’ component of the goggles. It also looks similar to the weave on the catsuit, suggesting her eyes are if not armoured, at least protected, as well.

7.Cat’s Ears

The infamous goggles work a lot better now we can see that they’re part of the same rig as the domino mask. Again we can’t see much but, again, what we can see suggests a lot of high tech functionality in a small space. There’s a hint of electronics, a definite hint of crosshairs if you really squint and they look a lot chunkier, a lot more tech than fashion, than in previous shots.

All in all, you get a much better idea of how each element fits together now they’e all actually visible. What isn’t functional at least looks it, and there’s much less of a feeling that the cat ears have just been stuck on a black bodysuit than before. But the real question is: What’s going on with that gun?


Looking at those ears I wonder if they might well indeed have some sort of.. i dunno.. sonar/echo location tech or something. Maybe something along the lines of the not terribly clear it really does stuff they used in the 2nd film.
