Catwoman looks awesome here. Now that is Catwoman!

 

[Boom]

They look weird from a side profile.

I want to describe them as looking "lumpy."

Has anyone has seen the Batman Live on Youtube?

And of course you see a Catwoman full costume, but IMO Anne's CW fits better in Nolan Universe

Cheers!

I see a semi-profile shot of her ears/goggles, following a shot of side-boob. I am unsure as to which you are referring to.

I'm sure he's referring to her breasts.

I missed this production while it was in London.

I'll try to watch this on youtube now... while it lasts. That actor playing Dick Grayson doesn't look 15, as he announces in part 1.

I think either a cowl or the 60s Catwoman fits in the Nolan universe, but I like the 60s look better, especially for Anne.

Now there are two

They look fine from the front, but the side view is ugly as hell.

 

[Wolf Boy]

They look WEIRD from the side!

 

[Flare]

Well...at least she looks like Catwoman. Just not my ideal/preferred version of Catwoman. It's slightly disappointing, but it will be interesting to see the 1960s Catwoman kicking butt like the more modern versions, and partaking in the kind of action scenes that we are accustomed to in modern day film.

Ah, I see what you mean. Needless to say that's an issue derived from quasi-ear-shaped-flip-top-goggles. Go figure.

Still makes me laugh how much it looks like the 60's Catwoman. I think the funniest bit is that it's not even subtle, it pretty much screams Newmar 2.0, even the gloves are about the same length. I may find the design a bit meh, but I'll give Nolan credit for taking something from a campy TV show and making it work in his serious Bat universe.

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

The important thing is that it looks like Catwoman. It's not the Catwoman I wanted/expected, but it's still very much Catwoman. So cool that we will see Catwoman in a Nolan film!

But I think Newmar's Catwoman suit was probably the least campy costume of the 60s show. It looked like Emma Peel, which was already considered cool, and it still holds up today, especially in this updated form.

One thing I'll give Nolan credit for is that he hasn't gone as far as someone like Marc Forster who directed the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, in that he hasn't taken everything that is remotely like Batman and pared it down to a bare minimum. At least Nolan has picked an iconic version of Catwoman who looks fun and sexy. The same can't be said of Forster, who removed virtually every Bond element from QOS that made it iconic and had some awful editing.

The suit was always timeless. It was Newmar's cat-eared headband and retro domino mask that placed it as campy and very 60s. It's why it looks so silly here, even if it has been established that there was a man walking about with half his face off and a serial killer who painted himself as a clown. It all looked very dirty, grim, and rough.

I can understand not placing precisely the same mechanics for Catwoman, but tonally it should be consistent. Maybe official footage will change my perspective (but I'm doubtful). I just cannot shake my feelings that it looks completely absurd.

Maybe the next director will give us all what we want. A permawhite joker, catwoman with cowl and whip, bane with a luchadoe mask and 300 lbs of muscle, a batman that doesn't growl, mr. Freeze, a REAL scarecrow. Oh, and Alfred with a mustache. We deserve these things. I'm sure if these were all included the batman movie would just be perfect, Oscar
caliber stuff. Let's just view tdkr as a minor inconvenience to tide us
over until a director who will give us these things can do it right.

Thing is it's barely even an update, you'd hardly know the difference between the two costumes from a distance, you could almost classify it as plagiarism, lol. I actually think had the first promo shot been with the goggle-ears up and Catwoman in a better position other than virtually lying flat the reception wouldn't nearly have been so polarizing. I think everyone was expecting some sort of high-tech looking Catwoman to some degree, myself included, and yet Nolan went completely retro. Just when you think you know what he's gonna do he goes in the complete opposite direction, brings a stupid grin to my face. t:

It's not a question of us deserving them. It's just what a lot of us would like to see. You know, personal preference and all that. For the life of me, I can't fathom why people just can't understand that.

I'm not exactly asking for an Oscar-caliber film. Just a damn good Batman film that adheres closer to the comic book aesthetic.

Creativity. There's a reason why certain things end up working in a movie that you just can't fathom a year away from release. Otherwise, you'd be in the directors chair. Perhaps a modern looking catwoman with a cowl would in the end be absurd and Theres a reason she looks how she does. You know, just maybe the people who get paid millions to do these things know what they're doing.

Perhaps because there are those making a big Damn fuss demanding comic book accuracy already. In a tdkr forum. With precedence of 2 excellent batman movies preceding it. That have been THE most comic accurate of any in film yet. Visual isn't all that matters. But on here day in day out that's all you hear." I want MY catwoman to lOok this way", etc etc. As if all that matters of their beloved comic characters is the way they look. If history had taught us anything with comic films, it's usually the least important thing. Yet anal retentive fanboys will constantly beat the drum as if they are being put upon by the director making whatever movie at the time. Spare me.
