The Dark Knight Rises Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman XX

[lililatigresse]

She's not bad at all. In fact, I don't see how Anne is much better. I also think Anne's also got a more plain face than Jessica (both are very beautiful women though).

While I don't think Jessica is that good in the Illusionnist, I have seen Easy Virtue and not only she is actually really good in it (definitely better than anything I have seen from Anne) but she also has more charisma in that film that Anne will ever have. I think she just needs to stop doing those stupid films.
And she is definitely prettier than Anne.

But I still don't like either of them as Catwoman.

I'm still convinced Anne was always at the top of the list from the start.

Yes, so am I. But only because she is more respected after her oscar nomination. But, anybody who knows a little about the oscars knows talent has nothing to do with it.

I think people need to stop cracking jokes about Biel's ass

I personally preferred Keira from the list but I think Anne had the most of what they were looking for. Plus, there was that screen test which most likely sealed the deal in Anne's favor.

I had Hathaway pegged as a more Lois Lane type (and there were rumors of this back in 2010), but Nolan snatched her up first before Snyder.

 

[kvz5]

^ Yup. Anne was my top pick for Lois Lane.

 

[Lily Adler]

^She would have made a great Lois.

I'm not gonna lie, as soon as I saw Anne's name on the short list, I knew she was going to get it.

Anyone remember the time that Collider posted that Eva Green and Naomi Watts were cast? They also speculated that they were playing Talia and Vicki Vale. We've come a long way. I think very few even thought that Catwoman will be in the movie.

I think Julie Madison's name was thrown around as well!

Charlize Theron as Sarah Essen too!

Bet she can crack coconuts with a flex of those well toned buns.

I'm surprised most people don't know about Jess Biel's ass it's her one redeemable quailty.

That's because Biel's ass-size doubled after leaving 7th Heaven. She had no junk in the trunk, which leads many to believe that she had implants installed.

Judging from her various beach candid shots over the years, I'd much sooner believe it's a combination of clever butt padding and trained posterior posing.

 

[craigdbfan]

You'd still beat those. Don't lie.

Padding is still being put into usage?

Like Bongo Drums my friend, like Bongo Drums...

Until mainstream denounces the lies that are padded bras, the industry will continue to take advantage.

I still think Marion may have been Nolan's first choice for Selina/Catwoman originally. The early reports that came out regarding her being offered her pick of both roles, but her ultimately having to turn them down supports this for me. As well as the seeming fact that Nolan was desperate for Marion to be in this in some form, that he was willing to wait and work things out for her to be in it.

We'll see when the film comes out whether the age group issue will have any significance on the character or the story, but I'm not so certain it will.

Ugh, if there's anything else I loath other than silicone, it's padding.

Dammit, now I have to go around feeling up the voluptuous babes to see if it's silicone/saline or padding.

Anne here I come.

Makes you wish she starred in Castaway rather than Tom Hanks.

The fact that Catwoman/Selina is (IIRC) the first major casting call Nolan has held for a role since auditioning potential Batman candidates, leads credence that perhaps he was left perplexed when his only serious choice was suddenly out of the running. The completely random and messy film backgrounds of the testing actresses suggests a rushed gathering of female talent.

With that said however, Anne was far and beyond the best choice out of all of them. And we may be in for a surprise. But still, I do wonder had Marion's pregnancy been factored in much earlier, would Nolan have scouted for more serious and established talent.

Good points. I agree, if as you said Marion's pregnancy been factored in earlier, I wonder if the Selina/Catwoman role would have been locked a lot earlier like Bane's was.

Can you imagine these two figures standing opposite/next too each other?...
