Anne Hathaway’s First ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Photo Continues to Make Us Wonder If She’ll Be Catwoman

By Tim Grierson | The Projector


Ever since Anne Hathaway was announced back in January as part of the cast for "The Dark Knight Rises," no one in the Batman camp has confirmed that she's officially going to be Catwoman, even though everyone just assumes that she is. All you'll get out of Warner Bros. is that she'll play Selina Kyle, which is the name of the character who becomes Catwoman. Still, director Christopher Nolan remain coy about the full nature of Hathaway's character in the final installment of his Batman trilogy. The first official Hathaway image released today does nothing to clear up that mystery.

The still sent out by Warner Bros. shows Hathaway riding a motorcycle that looks a lot like the one Batman used in that fantastic chase sequence in the middle of "The Dark Knight." But she definitely doesn't look like the Catwomen we came to expect from Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry. If anything, with her high-tech glasses it seems that Hathaway is part of some virtual-reality Batman movie.
Does this mean her character won't turn into Catwoman by the end of "The Dark Knight Rises"? It's impossible to say. But the fact that this photo was sent out by the studio with the file name Selina Kyle indicates that they want us to forget about the possibility that she might become Catwoman. This secrecy may annoy others, but, frankly, we're fine having it that way. This movie comes out in just under a year, and we know full well that everyone on the planet is going to try to squeeze every little secret out of this movie before then. But isn't it more fun not knowing?
