Why the fuss over the Catwoman costume?
I always wonder why people complain about things such as costumes in CBMs, after all would the Green Goblin suit transfer well to the big screen. Not at all. Pink boots and a Pink hat would not have worked at all. I also recall a lot of people being excited for Catwoman, Oh Nolan’s version will be amazing etc… Now people are moaning. So let’s think about this realistically.
Now we all know that Nolan’s take on the Batman universe is a realistic one. I for one think the suit looks good; we are also not taking in the fact that the image’s we have seen are mid action. Who’s to say she’s not had her cowl ripped off by Bane or by Batman. There are an infinite number of possibilities. Anyway back to realism, how would a woman climb a building in high heels, I think it would be pretty damn hard to do and especially if she is running on rooftops away from the batman. I’m fairly sure she would fall over so flat heels are the best option. The leather is a very classic Catwoman image she is supposed to be seductive and dangerous. Does she look seductive yes does she look dangerous, well she looks pretty mad in the pictures.
Above is a picture of Julie Newmar… Now what does that look like to you. Because to me it looks exactly like the Anne Hathaway costume but more shiny and with cat ears. What people are also forgetting is that this version of Selina Kyle is supposedly based on the year one version. Where Selina Kyle is a prostitute, what if Catwoman is Kyle’s prostitute persona. It’s possible, some nightwalkers develop multiple personality’s why not Catwoman be one, so theres no need for cat ears. However look at this picture
Anne Hathaway looks to be wearing a latex mask obviously to disguise the stuntwoman, now why would they need to use a mask when they could use a cowl we won’t know until next year.
In conclusion this a small article that points out a few things about Nolan’s version of Catwoman. This could be an early prototype of her suit. But as I say we wont know till next year. So I encourage you to drop the hate and wait and see what Nolan has planned.
