If you were hoping for Anne Hathaway to wear a Catwoman costume similar to the one Michelle Pfieffer wore in Batman Returns, you may be disappointed.
However, if you were hoping that she’d wear something radically different from the one Halle Berry wore in Catwoman, you’ll be encouraged.
According to Hollywood Life, the costume that Hathaway will wear as Catwoman for The Dark Knight Rises will be along the lines of what we currently see in the comic books.
“Anne’s outfit is more tactical, like the comic book, than the previous Batman movies,” a source very close to the costume design tells us exclusively. “She will definitely be wearing the goggles and it’s going to be less sexy than Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman costumes. She’s going to look more like a robber.”
Adds the insider, “But fan boys shouldn’t be worried. This costume is going to be form-fitting enough to make Anne look smoking hot.”
But before she dons the Catwoman outfit, Hathaway says she’s having to strengthen up for the role.
“I’ve always thought that skinny was the goal, but with this job I also have to be strong,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar.
Good. I like looking at sexy woman as much as the next guy, but if you’re going to be engaging in crime/crime-fighting, I find the lack of practical outfits for female characters in comics & film to be more than a little annoying.
