The Dark Knight Rises Details on Catwoman in TDKR

[elgato]

I'm happy with the new Catwoman; I feel alone in the dark on this one....

Ur not alone, I'm lovin' it

 

[TheVerbos]

The suit doesn't bother me one bit. Nothing about this film does. I feel like I called the Tailia reveal way too early and easily (like many others), but that's it.

I'd be surprised, really very surprised if Catwoman/Selina Kyle was a "stripper", this sounds like some needlessly dark take. I kind of doubt a Nolan movie about Batman that while adult is a PG-13 movie that tries to capture the teen market as much as the adults would featuring "stripping" as one of it's major plot points. Movies like this seem to like to skirt taboos as much as possible.

Look at The Dark Knight, rich people are not depicted as doing coke, murders are cutaway scenes, and even the Russian drug dealer is only dealing these psuedo-science, ficitious scarecrow drugs. I'd be surprised if an "abused stripper", and typical R rated topic, will be featured at all in these movies. Also the "more well written than the Joker" is a dubious statement, not because it couldn't be true, but because Joker is a far different kind of character.

If there is even a glimmer of backlash against the stripper angle, it would only prove to the rest of the world how utterly insecure and stuck-up Americans are about sexuality. This movie is following on the heels of a mass-murdering clown. Whether gratuitous violence was displayed or not, the fact is it dealt with very dark themes, actions, and messages. That movie did a billion dollars.

If I am to believe that a woman who decides to exploit her sexuality for personal monetary benefit, is worse on any scale of morality, I will be convinced I'm living in a backwards world.

I very much hope this rumor is true, because it's about time a mainstream product dares to question misaligned moral judgments.

I got your back Doc, because I'm someone like you. Someone who'll rattle the cages....

I like her too. Not what I was expecting, but I like it. The flowing hair and the luscious lips remind me of Julie Newmar.

I cannot quote, I'm at an iPhone, KRIM, you're pure genious, I think just the same as you

This is all nice and everything, but for those reasons I stated, I have a hard time swallowing it. Even in X-Men: First Class Angel Salvador is a "stripper", yet it's all only implied through very thinly vieled scenes. Whereas The Wrestler as an R-rated film is totally all frank about it. It's how these movies tend to work. If Selina Kyle is a stripper, I suspect it won't be open about this. Just show some scenes that imply something. I also suspect she won't be shown being a victim of abuse, PG-13 superhero blockbusters try to avoid those topic too.

Apart from the lack of cat eared mask, I'm loving it, too. I also love the details we've heard about her back story, assuming they're true.

She sounds like the most interesting version of Catwoman we've had in the movies yet.

Agree, I'm really enjoyin' the idea of this being the definitive incarnation of the post-moderne Catwoman, and I'm sure Nolan won't disappoint me

It really isn't a moral crusade, it's just the ratings system Hollywood has adopted. Plus, your point is wrong. PG-13 only allows certain kinds and certain amounts and levels of sexual content, and this certainly is the same with violent content you have in your movie too. Yeah, Joker's a murderous clown, but do you see him physically bite into a man's face like Hannibal Lector, or rip someone's head out of their spine like Predator? No. All of Joker's kills are blood-free cutaways, or victims found after the fact. Did you notice how they evacuted the Hospital before it blew up? That's a PG-13ism. If Bale and Hathaway have sex PG-13 style they'll be depicted getting tipsy then wake up in magical L-shaped sheets. If you want lots of blood and strippers you want a R-rated movie! Batman and TDK are PG-13. And don't bring up that kids can't see R movies, you can download them now without an ID.

Ur not alone, I'm lovin' it

The more I look at it , the more Im digging it . These films are not the coics and should be treated as elsewheres story . But of course people visions have them bound to be let down .


The side shots of the suit are perfect.

 

[elgato]

Obviously the next pictures will get better and everyone will end up loving the costume, I believe we don't remember these are the Christopher Nolan Batman films

I'm not exactly sure what you're critiquing. We can all speculate about her role as a stripper, and at best, guess where they will draw the line. No one here is expecting bare breasts prancing about on stage. Anything short of that, however, is fair game.

What topics regarding the occupation are explicitly forbidden, according to the RIAA? I am not familiar with any that prohibit it.

I don't know if they outlaw anything specific like that, but you're only allowed up to four uses of "mature content" which includes language, sexual innuendos, and mature or controversial political themes (I've heard they count frames or something like that, you have an alotment before you go over) so I'd say it'd be hard to write a proper "abused stripper" into that mold. Joker, Scarecrow, Carmine Falcone and Ra's Al Ghul did not get long, drawn out origins. Not to say Catwoman won't, but I think she'll just show up, especially sharing screentime with so many others.

Just think, the DareDevil Director's Cut was R rated, so it couldn't be worse than that lol.

If the photo is the final costume, I'm okay with it. It doesn't scream "Catwoman"... or anything cat oriented... but whatever.

I'm in the group that doesn't expect this photo shows the finalized costume.

I think there's more.

 

[batbax]

I dint mind the look either. Of course I never really read batman for catwoman. To me she was always a nice side character.. Plus all portrayals I've seen of catwoman on screen to me have flat out sucked so maybe this will be a good interpretation.

 

[RolandDaggett]

Hathaway's latest comment makes me think there won't be another costume. I hope I'm getting the wrong idea.

 

[Doc Holliday]

I like her too. Not what I was expecting, but I like it. The flowing hair and the luscious lips remind me of Julie Newmar.

I love that there's an obvious throwback to Julie Newmar's Catwoman. And even if she does end up with a cowl by the end of the movie, I love that there's a little bit of the domino mask feel in there. A nod to the history of the character.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Other than the Spy Kids goggles and lack of ears, I must say the costume it's self is a solid A+. In the spy pics I love the long gloves and boots.

HOWEVER it's clear that she isn't wearing the same gloves in the official promotional image. What's up with that?

The suit could be in stages.

 

[Mister Meddle]

I hope so. Eh, well at least she's wearing the long leather gloves and boots in the actual film.

 

[Travesty]

The more I look at it, the more I hate it. Not a fan.....

Heh. I like your sig.
