Anne Hathaway cast as Selina "Catwoman" Kyle in upcoming Batman 3

[Klaus]

Wait ... did someone just try and say Selena Kyle isn't a femme fatale?

Since getting the spotlight in her own series, specially in the latest incarnation, Selina has been more of a straightforward character, going so far as to date Bruce (she knows the secret). So she became less of the archetypal femme fatale, the mysterious dame that serves only to complicate and endanger the life of the protagonist.

If you've seen Anne Hathaway in Havoc or Love and Other Drugs, you can see the sultry sexual. If you want acting chops? Rachel Getting Married (wow). And simply googling her name and looking images, you can get the idea. I think she'll be great.

I just noticed this link off of one of the OP's links: Joseph Gordon-Levitt may join the cast too. I think he's an excellent actor and would make for a welcomed addition!

Just because she's kind of cute and takes her clothes off does not mean she'd make a good Selina Kyle. Hathaway can do a lot of things well, and I'll give Nolan the benefit of the doubt with his track record, but I'm still a bit skeptical she has the slink to pull it off.

J... but I'm still a bit skeptical she has the slink to pull it off.

Lots of folks were skeptical about Heath Ledger, and we see how that turned out...

I think she'll do fine. (< do I need to warn you that there might be pictures of Anne in those links?)

She certainly is a ... curvy girl. But does she have the acting chops to play Catwoman?

Yes.


What?

And now we know why they call it The Dark Knight Rises (rimshot).

Really, though, I think she'll do fine. Nolan is an extraordinary director. As someone mentioned before, I was skeptical of Heath Ledger as Joker, especially being such a huge fan of Nicholson. But Ledger knocked it out of the ball park.

Nolan's take on the Dark Knight is fantastic, and I'm quite certain that Hathaway will do quite well.
