Anne Hathaway Catwoman costume Revealed,She's far too foxy for a cat: Anne Hathaway looks perfect as her sexy Catwoman outfit is finally revealed, Catwoman's whiskers? Paparazzi shots from the set of The 

Dark Knight Rises show a leather-clad Anne Hathaway, complete with Catwoman 

ears – but is Christopher Nolan leading us up the garden path?

Christopher Nolan has worked so hard to deliver a Batman who exists in a world 

as close as possible to our own that it was no real surprise when the guileful 

British film-maker named Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, rather than Catwoman, in 

The Dark Knight Rises. But if Nolan was hoping to keep Hathaway's true identity 

under wraps (Kyle becomes Catwoman in the comics) in advance of the final part 

of his Batman trilogy's release, a new set of paparazzi shots from the set of 

the film have rather let the … ahem … cat out of the bag.

There's Hathaway, in full light of day, dressed up in a figure-hugging black 

leather catsuit with visible cat ears. Unless Kyle and Christian Bale's Bruce 

Wayne are attending a particularly ironic Halloween ball, Hathaway is pure, 

100% Catwoman in the scenes being filmed.

Furthermore, Nolan and his costume designers seem to have opted for a pretty 

orthodox rendering of the character. Hathaway's costume mercifully dispenses 

with whiskers and a tail (as you might see in famous comic book iterations such 

as Frank Miller's Batman: Year One) but the actor really couldn't be anyone 

else. Given the inventive job Nolan's team did with Heath Ledger's Joker and 

Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow in The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, I'm almost 

disappointed.

Is this a hint that The Dark Knight Rises might eschew the brooding Michael 

Mann-style crime thriller influence that infused the two previous films in the 

series for a return to Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher-style comic book camp? More 

likely, the famously wily Nolan is simply leading us up the garden path. 

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until July 2012 to find out.
