The Dark Knight Rises Details on Catwoman in TDKR

[Blue Sugar]

But if the goggles have night-vision is not that a cat-trait? Zomg!

 

[MaceB]

We have a source which says she'll wear a cowl at some point in the movie.
And then we have Anne saying we've only seen a 10th of what the suit can do. Does it look like that suit is fully equipped with a barrage of tech gear? Doesn't it make sense that she's not-so-subtly saying that she'll be wearing a cat mask or cowl? She's directly addressing the fan's concerns here....
Odds are good that this isn't the completed costume. I'll start complaining once I hear better confirmation that this is all we're getting.

No ears is the new perma-white and organic webbing from what I see...

While I realise they may have been concious of beating the spys, it doesn't make sense to me to release a photo of her unless it is the full costume.

She is wearing a utility belt in the shots so presumably she has tricks up her sleeve.

At first glance, it didn't make sense for them to release a blurred picture of the Joker in a suit that isn't purple, either. But they did. That was one of our first looks at him, before we knew he'd be wearing a purple suit. Catwoman is definitely comparable to the Joker in this film because she's the one they've been doing their damndest to keep secret, and she's also the iconic character in this movie.

The only reason they released the picture that they did is because they knew the paparazzi would get shots of her, anyway. They're probably going to release more images of her in the future, but what would really be the point if we've already seen all there is to see of her? They aren't trying to hide anything about Bane. They've had him in the trailer, have him out in the open to let people snap pictures of him left and right, etc. We just have that handful of pictures of Catwoman riding the batpod and that's it. We're only seeing what they want us to see.

It makes perfect sense. They gave you a reveal of Anne Hathaway in the exact same outfit her stunt double was going to be seen wearing in plain sight for days on end.

They only gave you what you were going to get anyway. Why actually give it all away (if there is more to give)?

Why are we assuming there is more to giveaway?

Good post, sir.

Why are we assuming there is more to giveaway?

Because Hathaway stated that what was seen is only 1/10th of what the suit can do.

It struck me that the first images of the Joker were vague so as to intentionally hold information back - and were obviously so.

Such as this one here -

I think the key term there is "can do..."

 

[KRIM]

Because Hathaway stated that what was seen is only 1/10th of what the suit can do.

By way of function. It would be reasonable to infer it only applies to what can already be seen. There's nothing to assume that there will be more to the suit's aesthetics.

 

[Gianakin_]

Considering she stated what she stated in response to the people's reaction to the aesthetics of the suit... I'm willing to infer that she also means there's more to it visually.

Exactly the point I was making.

We just don't know.

But aesthetics don't "do..." The inference I took, was that whether people love or hate the design, they will be excited to see what it can do as that can't be gleemed from such a photo.

 

[Street Vendor]

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.

I love your avatar, Doc. I need to get me Tombstone on Blu-ray.

 

[Gianakin_]

Of course we don't "know". You asked "why are we assuming".

And I know aesthetics don't "do", but she addressed a question about the look of the costume. She may have answered with a response about function, but I am definitely assuming that perhaps function and aesthetics are tied together for CW, just like with Batman.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yes, she is not a doe-eyed virgin, its ok to objectify her, ogle her, or tell her to kiss her friend.

I said NONE of that. Way to go ahead and just put words in my mouth...

 

[KRIM]

Considering she stated what she stated in response to the people's reaction to the aesthetics of the suit... I'm willing to infer that she also means there's more to it visually.

We know her statement was in regards to the "meh" reaction, which could be anything. It's akin to the "wait until you watch the movie" advice. It doesn't necessarily directly address the problems people have. We could have a great movie and an excellent performance; but that would just be pleasant distractions. Not a solution.

If she had something along the lines of "you haven't seen the whole suit", then we'd have a lot more to go on. As it stands, the only reference was to function. So I'll take her word for it.

 

[Bat-Mite]

Good post, sir.

Thanks! I understand why people feel the way they do about the image of the catsuit, but really, this is a song and dance number they've put us through before. I think if more people remembered that, there would be less panic/disappointment.

Yep, but we really have no evidence that they aren't doing the same thing with Catwoman. If anything, the evidence seems to suggest that they are. Just because it's a clear picture in a well lit corridor doesn't mean that they aren't hiding things about her.

 

[Broker]

I am not sure how that infers there is more to come in terms of design or 'look'.

It suggests to me that (as with Batman and say his cape or utility belt) a still photo does not allow us to see how it works practically.

 

[Bat-Mite]

If she had something along the lines of "you haven't seen the whole suit", then we'd have a lot more to go on. As it stands, the only reference was to function. So I'll take her word for it.

I agree, but I also think that she said all that she was allowed to say. If she'd been that direct about it, it would have been little different than saying, "Oh, don't worry. It does have cat ears." Nolan/WB would crucify her over it. She's trying to please both parties by giving a very vague reassurance.

the paparazii shots gave us a better and more clear view of the suit and googles. which is funny.

Indeed, they might be.

Equally, it may be that they are unconcerned about keeping the look of characters under wraps this time.

The marketing may focus on something else entirely.

Agreed - I am excited to see what exactly the suit can do...
