Confirmed: Selina Kyle IS Catwoman in ‘Dark Knight Rises’

Written by Katie Schenkel
Movie Preview Anne Hathaway, Batman, Catwoman, dark knight rises images, The Dark Knight Rises, will the Dark Knight Rises suck? 2 Comments

A while ago, I wrote about my faith in Christopher Nolan and his final Batman film. Sure, we weren’t positive that Selina Kyle would be Catwoman, but I really believed we wouldn’t be disappointed. We’ve gotten some new information, and so far I’m not disappointed!

I wondered just how realistic the Catwoman costume would be in Nolan’s world, but from what I can tell, it looks pretty straight-forward and even traditional. It actually reminds me a little of the 60s TV costumes … except the dated gold accessories are gone. I see this as a good thing. The photos we have might not look very impressive, but I keep reminding myself that these costumes are designed to look good on the big screen, not on personal cameras. Even the Batman costume (seen below) doesn’t look as impressive.

I’ve already heard rumblings saying the costume is too leather dominatrix, but come on – it’s Catwoman. While the super-high heels are a bit disappointing, the rest of the costumes seems to be a more functional version of the Catwoman costume. She’s even got a utility belt, which she’ll need since that thing does not have pockets! Catwoman is always going to wear a skin-tight black catsuit in some way or form, but this one doesn’t look so far off from the rest of Nolan’s Gotham. The only thing a little over-the-top is the set of ears, but when she didn’t have then the ears naysayers were bitching about her not looking like cat. In other words … make up your damn mind! Sheesh!

    What you really have to start asking is how do people now not realize Selina Klye is not Catwoman?

    Seriously, you can see like 90% of her face.

    Batman is smart, he should just look at Catwoman the first time he sees her and go "Selina?"

    Which is why I also like the current art design in the comics and Games with her having Eye Goggles. They are reasonably sized to hide more of the face and still not too goofy.
