It's inevitable. They kind of did that for the prologue and TDK, so I bet they do it again

I am afraid that is the way it works

I think the costume would be the same but she'll just be uh less enhanced body-wise.

Ya. I think there'll be less people commenting on her "assets", which hopefully mean less infractions too. So that's a good thing.

[Jedm1991]

In fairness, the screening of avengers next week is only a week prior to release for the UK,

[Yurka]

New promo art...



Thank you Santa RIM.

Everyone says Ramirez is basically Motoya. Yes but still...I felt like i learned about Ramirez and she became someone I knew, separate from the comic character. This made the character mean a little more to me in the end as I didn't have any extra baggage with the character.

I understand, and a bit of trivia, Ramirez was actually supposed to be Montoya, but some suits didn't like that they made her into a "villain" in the story and requested her name be changed.

Probably not but sometimes as the writer you tend to notice and it colors for you who the character is and when you look back on the character it just doesn't feel the same.

We got characters like Zsasz, Flass, Ducard and Loeb in Begins so those were some nice little nods I can live with.

Bane's boots are dirty too. Yeah I'm late. I just noticed it now.

[BatLobsterRises]

Catwoman= HOT.

I think that's actually a pretty accurate representation of Anne's body too. Nowhere near as exaggerated as that Hot Toys bust lol. I can't wait to see how she looks on Wally Pfister-shot IMAX celluloid. I think seeing CW again on the big screen in a wintery Gotham is going to bring a nice whiff of Batman Returns nostalgia for me even if completely unintended.

There's something off with the pic. But yay for another cover! And they're bringing out the Cat now!

[The_Raganork]

Not a fan of either of their looks in that picture. what's going on with Batman's head?

[obin_gam]

Bats head looks odd.

[BuddhaWasABat]

This movie finally looks like it's real and not a myth.

[elsewhere]

Seems an odd cover to go with. Need to see it up closer.

[SpideyFan866]

I love this suit. It might've look to comic bookish for Nolan's world if it had the cowl. Looks good
either way.

Rag...im not even gonna respond to each one of ur statements because you always take a sentence out of context, respond to that one statement while leaving out the sentence or two that followed. I do see how Miranda getting Bruce to look at Thomas, etc could benefit the story (and it will). I agree with you that it's going to be an extremely strong part of the story. I just really dont think Nolan and co would have written another original female love interest/friend into the story just for the sake of helping Bruce realize that he must be Bruce Wayne over being Batman. Its way too similar to Rachel. There's a couple of things that seperate her from Rachel, but it's not enough to me. The betrayel angle, the backstory, the connection to other characters, the end of her arc (all Talia) is the reason why they went through with this character. Sure the Wayne Enterprises employee who's good to Bruce is a big part of it but just that alone? I REALLY dont think they would have went through with that. Maybe it's just me but thats how i see it. Nolan doesnt like to repeat things and we JUST had Rachel, an original character who had alot of those similarities. Theres a reason for Talia and not just Tate. You can almost say thats why Nolan didn't just have the Riddler. Some would say that he has plenty of quirks about him that make him very different from the Joker and therefore Nolan could have made him his own man. i think differently, i think their may be a couple of differences but WAY too many similarities. And thats why Nolan didn't choose him. He went with Bane. a complete 180. This Miranda character will only seem like that complete 180 from Rachel when she is revealed to be Talia. Also maybe im just thinking of how this film would end if she was just Miranda..and as a personal preference i wouldnt enjoy watching Bruce and her live happily ever after. It would be too much like "Oh he gets to have what he wanted with Rachel. Like hes pretending thats Rachel". Or her dying or leaving him, and that would be too similar to Rachel as well. It's just how i see it

[The_Raganork]

It's almost as if they took the most unflattering pics of both of them.

Hathaway's head down like that makes her forehead look massive, she looks like Mouse-Woman

Batman looks...almost laughable. That expression and the odd definition on his face are just odd.

[madcowre]

It looks like they trimmed Anne's face down on that cover.

Good to have something new though!

[ron1705]

Catwoman looks great, but Batman looks kinda odd. In a horror movie he would be the blind man with the creepy eyes telling prophecies. It does look as if Catwoman was added as an afterthought, weird centering.
