The Dark Knight Rises Details on Catwoman in TDKR

[Mister Meddle]

Wasn't it Frank Miller who made Selina an escort/prostitute/hooker whatever?

Yes it was. Batman Year One.

 

[IamtheBatman]

Yes it was. Batman Year One.

I thought so I guess Nolan is still following the Year One storyline!

 

[Ethernaut]

I had a thought today. Maybe she choose the profession of a stripper because she knew the kind of clients who would come into the joint. I can see that as a possibility.

Or ... is that too soon of a question (since we just got done debating about strippers being moral?)

Very good idea!

Yes, one of the origins of Catwoman introduces her as a con-artist.

Ahem. Nixon? I predicted this ten pages ago

Well, glad we're thinking the same thoughts. Cause I haven't been in this thread since the little skirmish broke out.

Haha I hear ya, I finally had to come in and talk sense because it was getting to be too much

But anyway, I have a feeling that both Bruce and Selina will be tracking Modine's character, and that this will eventually lead Bruce to the gentlemen's club Selina works at. He'll see her, but whether or not he's encountered Catwoman beforehand will determine whether or not he deduces that Selina IS Catwoman.

I do like the idea though that Selina's "act" as a dancer would be the "Feline Fatale" ..good opportunity for some whip action

 

[Ethernaut]

I'd love to see Selina use the whip for pulling people close to her.

But those are my thoughts about Selina being a stripper too. She hears the information from someone and they both show up at the same 'place' where their trail leads.

I'm not so sure..remember ChrisB's source said she comes from a troubled past, so she may be a dancer out of necessity or no perceivable choice at all. Then she hears something she's not supposed to hear from Modine's character and, finally having had enough and inspired by Batman's example she engages in her own form of vigilantism.

Of course, when she encounters Batman as Catwoman, I can bet there will be some antagonistic tension between the two. Catwoman could be enamored with Batman, which she'd show by almost incessantly flirting with him and Batman rejecting her advances, but on the flip side Bruce could be enamored with Selina. It could make for a very interesting dynamic in their arcs as love interests

Im not sure if someone said this already, but I would guess her stripper outfit would be the "catwoman" outfit.

I like the way you're going with this. It's like you're reading my mind. I'm just gonna let you talk.

 

[Mister Meddle]

The question is will we see any actual cats in this film?

Haha, I have a knack for story. And when presented with pieces of a puzzle all you have to do is find the ones that fit together in the context of the story.

I doubt it. No basis to doubt on, just a gut feeling.

 

[Mister Meddle]

I always liked how Catwoman had a special pet cat in the West series, Batman Returns and the Animated Series. It's nothing big but it would be nice to see the same thing in this film.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I can't wait to see actual footage of Bale and Hathaway on screen together.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

Same here, I'm interested to see if Selina uses her wit to charm Bruce. She could definitely break up the doom and gloom of the Bane sequences

 

[JackWhite]

I can't wait to see actual footage of Bale and Hathaway on screen together.

Yeah, that one video of Bale by Wayne Manor with who I am hoping is Anne totally got me excited for some Bruce/Selina scenes.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Interesting report, Chris. If it pans out that Catwoman is indeed one of the best-written characters of the trilogy, it would put to rest the perhaps unfair complaint that Nolan can't do good women in his films.

Please, no mistletoe talk like BR! Oh yeah great video wish I had your talent.

 

[Mister Meddle]

That gif is lovely.

-insert that pink heart icon cuz I'm too lazy to "Go Advanced"-

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Please, no mistletoe talk like BR!

Well part of the film will take place in winter so who knows if it be Christmas time or not. Though I highly doubt they'd ever use a line like that again

 

[QueenChaos]

Love the gif

 

[Mister Meddle]

Love the gif

^^ What she said.

its easier to writte characters like this. the same reason why X-men first class worked. Magneto's story. and the same reason why Planet of the Apes movie works.
to writte her is not the problem. the problem is to fit her in this big story with Batman and Bane and Miranda Tale. which we know the Nolan brothers know hwo to do.

IMO Catwoman is the easiest female character to writte for the batman movie.
