    I like Catwoman in the those T Mobile ads where she’s on the motorcycle. Those are cool.

    I’m still irritated that they made a professional cat burglar who relies heavily on her agility wear a style of footgear that is all but expressly designed to make your footing less secure.

      No kidding. High heels and long hair… will it ever stop?

        If Star Trek is any indicator, women in the military will be applying their make-up with spray cans and stencils five hundred years from now.

      At least she didn’t have The Most Common Super Power http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostCommonSuperPower

    Her appearance as Catwoman was really disappointing, not only because of the brevity of her appearance (20 minutes? 15?) but also for the decision that she only meets Batman after he’s retired. Though come to think of it, the way the audience was shut out from Batman’s adventures via Nolan’s decision that all the interesting stories must have taken place unseen between the first and second films was a fundamental flaw of the film.

      You’re thinking too much like a Catwoman fan and not enough like a movie-goer. For instance: When did she have time to meet Batman on screen before The Dark Knight Rises? Was there room for her in the already-very-long Dark Knight movie? Should there have been a 2.5 short between the two films for her to meet him? Should the arc and timeline – necessary to the plot – have been changed so he could have met her?

      And what stories took place between the first and second films? Batman was in retirement, so were you hoping for a blow-by-blow breakdown of Gotham PD’s crackdown on the mob? That constitutes “all the interesting stories”?

      I didn’t sit with a stopwatch and count how many minutes she was in the movie (definitely more than 15), but I agree with you that I would have liked to have seen more of her.

        You’re thinking too much in the confines of the existing film. You’re forgetting that the film makers start with an blank sheet of paper. They could consider these elements when they write the film.

      Absolutely agree. I came to this conclusion immediately after seeing the film. Among many other gripes I could not come to terms with the fact that Batman was only Batman for, I don’t know, 4 months, 6 months, 1 year…??? For the record I love BB and TDK.

    >> When I think about how Hathaway went from this to her doomed role in Les Misérables…

    Wait? Doomed?

       The stuff I’ve seen of her is Very good indeed, speaking as a massive Les Mis fan

      I believe that is in reference to the character she plays rather than the acting or quality of the movie itself.
