my mind is still playing with Tori Black as Cat Woman.

And my mind is still reeling from how high their production value was. Also, Lexi Belle.

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

My thoughts jumped to pictures much like those the moment I saw the post title and wondered where all of these "she's attractive but not Catwoman hot" comments were coming from. Yowza!

I cant agree with the choice at all. I think it needs to be someone older and closer in age to the Bruce Wayne/Batman character. Id actually go with Cobie Smulders who yes isnt a known movie actress.

So, when you say 'someone older', you mean 'exactly the same age'?

I had to google this to find out what you were talking about.

Do I need to remind everyone that The Girlfriend Experience proved porn actresses really can't act?

Regarding the adult version (I probably should have used the tags to begin with):

Spoiler

When a random shot of the porn version (Batman XXX) looks almost exactly like a random shot of the original (the Adam West Batman) there's some serious mindscrew going on. And I do mean mind, because it's not really much of a movie. Just really well shot. Almost as well made as the Big Lebowski porn version, which was pure genius. They didn't even change the name for that one, just added 'porn parody'. Shot for shot, if you didn't know the actors involved, you wouldn't be able to tell which was which. Except for, you know, the porn.

I saw a review of the Batman thingy where the reviewer said that they could have just left the porn out and made a new season of the Adam West. Maybe bring the actual Adam West in in a cameo. That would have been interesting.

A friend of mine and I were talking about this, and he pointed out something interesting. According to him, at no point in any of the official press releases do they mention Catwoman, only Selina Kyle. His theory (which I like) is that we knew Nolan was looking for two female leads - one as a love interest, one as a villain. Selina Kyle will be the love interest, but probably won't be Catwoman.

Wasn't there also word they were looking to cast someone as Talia Al'Ghul? Really, both Selina/Catwoman and Talia fit the love interest and villain portions.

In any case, I'm pleasantly surprised by this casting news. I've liked Anne Hathaway in everything I've seen her in.
But in my opinion, it will be hard for her to measure up to Michelle Pfeiffer.

The inclusion of Bane was also quite a surprise. It'll be nice to see him have some character this time around.

But keep in mind that in the bizarre, sexist concept of beauty as it exists in Hollywood, a male lead in his 40s requires a female love interest in her 20s.

Cobie Smulders is all of seven months older than Anne Hathaway.
