Yesterday, we got our first look at actress Anne Hathaway in costume as Catwoman as she will appear in the upcoming Christopher Nolan-directed sequel film Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. Based on that first look, many folks (me included) had many things to say about this new incarnation of the iconic character. Today, we get our first look at Anne in costume as Selina Kyle (Catwoman‘s secret identity) as she films scenes for TDKR in Pittsburgh, PA. While Catwoman was leather-clad in black, Selina — naturally — makes her first on set appearance in all white. Additionally, Warner Bros. has released a second official promo photo of the new Catwoman. Check out all the photos below.
This week, fans got their first glimpse of Anne Hathaway in her sexy all-in-one leather Catwoman outfit. But the star looked very different today as she ditched the leather for a more feminine look as she filmed another scene for the new Batman movie. The 28-year-old actress sported a calf length floaty white dress and turquoise necklace with her hair down in Pittsburgh. The star also held a book under one arm, looking a far cry from the earlier photograph which showed her as the infamous superhero. Little is known about the storyline for the film, which again stars Christian Bale as the caped crusader. The film will also star Joseph Gordon Levitt, Liam Neeson and Marion Cotillard. The actress, who follows both Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, is said to have been putting in some intense preparation for the role. A source told the Mail: ‘Anne is working out five days a week. She’s taking it very seriously and wants her body in tip-top condition. Secretly she hopes to upstage Halle Berry, who last played Catwoman. She’s doing dance classes, weight-training and cardio – she wants to be the sexiest Catwoman ever.’
Yeah, I dunno about this “secret” quest for Anne to become the “sexiest Catwoman ever”. Some people just exude sexiness without even trying — a central characteristic of the Catwoman character herself — and, IMHO, Anne doesn’t have that characteristic. I’m hoping she will prove me wrong but … I just don’t see it yet. I’m also really HOPING that the Catwoman costume presented here really will turn out to be an early, protoversion of the final costume. I’m even more concerned now because we’ve been given 2 official photos of Anne in this Catwoman costume … which has me fearing that this is really the Catwoman we’re going to get in The Dark Knight Rises. All the drama whipped up yesterday by the release of the first Catwoman photo reminds me of the Wonder Woman debacle that went down back in March when the first photo was released of Adrianne Palicki in the new WW costume. IMHO, the strong backlash to the WW photo played a huge part in the TV show not getting picked up by NBC. We’ll have to wait and see what effect, if any, fan reaction to the Catwoman photo will have on the film. I’m still not buying Anne Hathaway as Catwoman … not by a longshot.
UPDATE: Pink reader Claire gives us the head’s up that this second “official” photo of Catwoman is a fanmake fake.
