Here is the “first image” of Anne Hathaway, allegedly in her Catwoman gear…? I hope to God this isn’t the catsuit, because it just looks so budget. Instead of making me excited, I’m now seriously worried about what Christopher Nolan is doing to these characters. I know I should probably just keep the faith, considering the Heath Ledger thing worked out so well (for film purposes), but… Catwoman… matte pleather suit…fug. Below, I’ve also included some newish photos of Anne on the Pittsburgh set of The Dark Knight Rises. Annie’s playing Selina Kyle/Catwoman, and according to MovieWeb, THIS outfit is part of Anne’s Selina costume. For real! I guess they really wanted to dork Anne up, big-time, before the big Catwoman reveal. Seriously, I hope this isn’t the Selina costume.
Anyway, the Enquirer has an interesting little non-story about how hard Anne is working and how she doesn’t want her performance to be compared to Halle Berry’s disastrous take whatsoever.
Anne Hathaway is hissing that she’s going to make everyone forget that Halle Berry ever played Catwoman. Anne is dieting and exercising to sculpt the perfect body. She’s also perfecting the exact movements and gestures Catwoman should make.
“Anne is determined to make the role unforgettable – and the character a worthy ally for Batman. Anne feels the movie with Halle was overacted to the hilt, with Halle giving wide-eyed stares like a bizarre cat. She believes the director and writers let Halle down, leaving her with an incomplete character and laughable role to play.”
“Anne is putting everyone on notice that she’s going to blow Halle out of the water,” said the insider. “Anne’s treating it as the role of a lifetime.”

When Anne was on Oprah the day after the Oscars, she talked about waiting for the call-back on the Catwoman gig, and I do get the feeling that Anne really, really wants this and that she’s putting in the hard work. I have a little twinge of hope that Anne’s hard work will pay off, especially with the help of Christopher Nolan’s direction. But seriously, Anne could just show up, put on a latex suit and mutter her lines and she would still be better than that Halle Berry crapfest.
Here are the alleged Selina Kyle pics:
