Even As A Statue, Hathaway's Catwoman Looks Hot...

Published at:  Jan 27, 2012 12:01:02 PM CST

Merrick here...

Earlier this week an image of upcoming DARK KNIGHT RISES statues were making the rounds.  'Twas interesting, but not particularly clear.  

The gang over at SuperheroHype got ahold of a higher resolution version of the same promo material, revealing the nuance of the characters and their rather impressive statues much more clearly.  

Presented herein is a smaller variant - punch Bane in the nuts to jump to SHH's higher-res version!

  • performance of his character,badass and all that,but i dont i really dont like what Nolan has done with his outfit and mask.I am not saying that i want to be like in the comics,it just i dont like Nolan's take.

    The outfit is so general militaristic,it looks like he is a paratrooper who walks around without his parachute.
    And the green mask with the green outfit makes him look like the Batman villain Crock wearing a muzzle.

    and he doesnt look very intimidating and imposing.Batman behind him,even as a miniature,he looks more intimating than Bane.

    I really think that Nolan has made a big fuck up with Bane's look but i am sure Hardy will save the character with his performance.

    by zombot

    but that is TOTALLY what this outfit and hair are homage to...no question.

    it seems so out of place, when Nolan has basically reinvented each character to his vision, and then just kind of tagged on hathaway in a newmar-esque suit.

    too bad really, when there are so many new cool takes on catwoman out there to work from.

    Talk about stacking the deck in your favor. How can they be sure it'll be a blockbuster when it hasn't even busted a block? It could turn out to be a disaster on par with Super Mario Bros or Gigli, regardless of how good the previous films were. But I guess they can't say "based on the upcoming okay film."

    I think I've figured out Bane's backstory in this!

    by i hope you die

    He's a little guy with shot man's syndrome. He has to wear that mask because of his severe asthma. He's angry at always being picked last so he blows up a football stadium. Then he punches Batman in the face because he wants to prove that he's bigger and tougher than the biggest, toughest guy in all of Gotham! Eventually Batman defeats him by holding him at arms length so Bane's flailing little arms can't reach. Hathaway stars as the woman who rejected Bane on Plenty of Fish because he was clearly much shorter in his photo than the claimed 6'8" on his profile.

    Ra's is anything but confirmed...

    by myphdisdoom

    Don't exactly get why everyone just buys into Ra's coming back. Those scenes he filmed... Flash backs? Nolan won't do the pit or any other science fiction themed element so how exactly would Ra's escape a train crashing and exploding? No it's Bane, Catwoman(who becomes a good guy or girl whatever you want to say) and Talia. That's not bad. I'm even sure Scarecrow will pop up again and that's not even that bad.

    Also I like what they did with Bane. I won't get that statue since it looks like he's asking for a hug but I'll pick something up of his sometime.

    by lemure_v2

    apparently the mask is an inhaler. Bane suffered horrific injuries and the gas helps to ease the constant pain.

    Therefore, Nolan is keeping stylistically true to the comics, while also twisting the character to make it believable.

    A guy in a Mexican mask gaining 100kgs of muscle would look stupid in Nolan's Gotham.

    Secondly i thought TDKR is supposed to be a mature,serious,intelligent movie for adults?

    if i wanted to see a cheesy action movie where a man faces a whole army,then i would prefer to watch again the definitive masterpiece of that category,Commando.

    Team? The League of Shadows is a huge army of trained warriors.

    Bane will be the front man, out in public causing mayhem. Talia will be in the shadows, manipulating events and possibly creating a romance - faux or otherwise. Ra's is only a rumour.

    It will be one man rising and inspiring others to rise against the army as we've seen in the trailers.

    TDKR will be a mature movie, but it won't just be for adults.

    Ladies & gentlemen, your "realistic" Nolan Batman-world.

    by kevred

    Instead of molded nipples on the bat-suit, we get pieces of body armor shaped like pecs and individual ab muscles. Not just that, but *stylized* ab muscles.

    Instead of Mr. Freeze, we get a Village People version of The Humungus (dressed as a sanitation worker or paratrooper, your choice), with a voice like John Hurt talking on a CB radio.

    And instead of a BDSM latex Catwoman, we get a stripper/porn-star Catwoman in thigh-high boots and stiletto heels.

    Welcome to the brooding, realistic, evolved world of Nolan's Batman. He's making some kind of brooding point about society, really.

    remember these movies are a progression. It makes sense that Batman's costume would get more complex as the series goes on. Remember how they talk about escalation at the end of Batman Begins? This is 8 years after TDK so it's not too crazy to think that Batman has refined his suit.

    Perhaps Mr. Nolan isn't quite as enmashed in his feminine side as he is in the other facets and definition of success. Sure like some dude will be like, oh yeah he's a genius and colossally successful and is the greatest director and human being ever since the entire universe was created, but then you're like woah hold up, but most of his flicks contain spousal death, or the wife is already deceased. And then you're like well look at his "Batman" franchise, Gotham City is a man's land, about fathers and sons, like Gordon and his son. Mothers have no place in Nolan's gritty dark world.. Bruce's mother is faded almost completely into the background, with no dialogue or interaction with her son. Yet, the concept of woman as being the motivation for everything happening is flung around willy nilly, and not really examined. What a fascinating, complex, dark, intelligent, and deep director he is, that person might say. Whatever.

    =Team? The League of Shadows is a huge army of trained warriors.=

    We are talking about the main villains that Batman faces in the movie,not about the generic cannon fodder thugs that batman fights and defeats in 10s.I thought that was pretty clear from the start.


    =Bane will be the front man, out in public causing mayhem. Talia will be in the shadows, manipulating events and possibly creating a romance - faux or otherwise. Ra's is only a rumour.=

    I dont know how Nolan will use all the main villains,probably he will do a fine job.I am just pointing out that sometimes over-saturating a movie with villains can cause a problem in its story.Spider-Man 3 is a good example of that.


    =It will be one man rising and inspiring others to rise against the army as we've seen in the trailers.=

    i agree but that has nothing to do with the subject of our discussion.

    =TDKR will be a mature movie, but it won't just be for adults. =

    Βatman movies never were for adults,not even TDK.

    The Ledger's Death = Money argument is Bullshit

    by thelastcleric

    I’ve been reading that nonsense for years and it doesn’t really hold up to intelligent scrutiny. Ledger’s role was already generating huge buzz even before his unfortunate and untimely passing and in actuality WB toned down their Joker-centric advertising after he died fearing it would be seen as being in poor taste. To be certain there was a heightened awareness after he died but the kind of money TDK pulled in cannot be generated on the curiosity factor alone. There have been plenty of actors who have died and yet their swan song performances failed to generate a significant boost in box office revenue so claiming that TDK was buoyed by Ledger’s passing is disingenuous. As to TDKR revenue, I have no idea if it will surpass or even meet the record of TDK but one thing people fail to realize is that Nolan is now a marquee director meaning that even casual filmgoers know his name and flock to his work. I’d say the film is probably a lock at 400m but if the buzz is equal to that of TDK it could go higher.

    It is not bullshit.Check the top 10 movies grosses and you will clearly see that the TDK domestic grosses are an anomaly compared to both the domestic and worldwide grosses of the rest of the movies.

    The simplest and most obvious way to explain this anomaly is Ledger's death and the over-excessive media coverage in the USA, which followed it for a month until the movie's premiere.

    Ledger-Death-Revenue is a Straw Man Argument

    by thelastcleric

    Bernie Mac’s death was high profile, as was the death of Chris Farley and John Candy. Even if you don’t consider their respective final films blockbuster material the fact remains that celebrity deaths don’t tend to have any measureable effect on the revenue of a film. Even if there is a curiosity factor that compels a swell in attendance initially such an effect wouldn’t generate the type of repeat viewings necessary for a film like TDK to gross in excess of 500 million at the domestic box office, especially considering that Ledger at the time was still considered to be a B-List celebrity. Those who perpetuate this straw man argument keep insisting that it was Ledger’s death, rather than his performance and the quality of the film, which not only got people into theaters but kept them coming back. Even if you subscribe to the theory that people went to see TDK initially because of Ledger, that wouldn’t explain the film’s incredibly steady run for the duration of the summer because the only way to generate that type of revenue is for people to see it multiple times. The death argument is utter bullshit with not an iota of evidence to support it.

    As far as I can tell (I only scanned a few issues real quick throughout each series) Catwoman didn't wear heels in the entire V2, 94 issue run, the entire V3, 83, nor does she wear them in the currently running V4. In all three she wears flat bottomed boots or a combat looking boot with a big fat man looking heel, like Batman. So, basically, it's not "a thing" at all. Sorry.
