A Nod to Anne Hathaway's "Catwoman"

I know that the movie isn't out yet and it might be a little premature to be singing praises to Anne Hathaway in the role of Selina Kyle. I know the camp is divided with a lot of haters to one side. I even heard my co-workers just recently say: "I don't know what it is about her but I can't stand Anne Hathaway!"

Now, I know how they feel. I have an irrational dislike for other actresses... though I think people who can't appreciate Hathaway's talent are just plain missing out. She was adorable in the Princess Diaries movies but she shows off her acting chops in Love and Other Drugs... and what girl didn't enjoy a little bit of The Devil Wears Prada? Come on!

Just like most ass-kicking girls, Hathaway stated that she had always wanted to have a role similar to - if not - Catwoman. As a character, Catwoman was ahead of her time, breaking out of the typical female stereotypes and exploring what it means to be a "bad girl" but be accepted and respected at the same time. Forget wanting to fall in love with the "bad boy" -- become the badass girl! Be Catwoman! 

I am digging the suit. I am digging her curves in the suit. I'm digging the concept of her "cat ears" with the goggles/mask. I love that she is channeling Julie Newmar with the whole look. 

Is she going to do Selina Kyle/Catwoman justice? I would bet she will since she is Nolan's choice for the role. I guess we will always have to see when the movie hits theater later this month. I would make a 'Well, it's better than Halle Barry's Catwoman!' joke but that would be unfair on my part since I have never watched that movie (and I don't know if I want to).
