They have never said Hathaway would play "Catwoman" -- only "Selina Kyle." I will be very surprised if there's a kitty suit. I think this is all we are getting. MAYBE a hood of some kind for sneaking around, but I doubt even that.

I think the belt makes it seem less like a biker outfit and more catwoman-ish. However the thing that makes me super happy is, her boots are NOT loving HEELS! Seriously, who loving fights crime in heels...

Is it Bizarro day? I was just trying to be humorous (and obviously failed). That's just not what I was expecting for a first look. Bane stood on his own in that first pic, he didn't have a batarang or something in his hand. Here we don't just have Catwoman, we have Catwoman riding Batman's bike. Plus, the bike looks huge compared to her. Though these outdoor shots look better. At least she (the stunt, I guess) looks like she could actually handle the thing.

Bane is a straight up bad dude. Selina has always been a grey area, mostly a thorn in Batman's side. I think the idea of the first shot of Selina being that she's riding around on Batman's gently caress-awesome bike completely hilarious and in line with her character. She's kind of an rear end in a top hat. Also I think I'm becoming numb to sarcasm from reading the SHH forums. Those people are completely nuts and won't be happy until they see Anne Hathaway with ears and a tail.

They also referred to Scarecrow and Two-Face pretty exclusively as "Crane" and "Harvey Dent", but we still got pretty dead on interpretations of both those characters in full supervillain mode. That's just how the villains in the Nolan movies have been treated - he seems to like using their alter-ego namees by default, and letting the goofy villain names come up organically. That's nothing new. Church posted:Found some other images of a stunt double riding the batpod out that shows the Selina Kyle/Catwoman costume better: Okay, these work better. The belt definitely does help make it feel more like Catwoman. I'd still like a hood, though. EDIT: Or not. I think I'm slipping into fanboy mode. If Nolan gets the character right, that's all that matters. Stealing Batman's ride is definitely funny, and it definitely fits the character.

That's nothing new. That's kind of what I meant. I think we are going to get a dead on portrayal of the character of Selina, just like we have with Ra's, Gordon, Dent, Joker, Crane. It's just we don't need all the goofy comic book crap to go with it. I think Selina is going to feel "feline" in the same way that Batman comes across as intimidating and Joker came across as actually literally insane and murderous. Characterization is what matters, not silly outfits and bad MEOW puns. edit: By "feline" I mean exactly the sort of thing where she would steal his bike and ride off with a "deal with it" look on her face. All cats are assholes. gregday fucked around with this message at Aug 5, 2011 around 15:34 |

Tuxedo Jack posted:The JLA vs Avengers books were incredibly unsatisfying to me. For the record, despite how it turned out there, I verily believe that Thor would destroy the Boyscout in a matter of seconds. Magic Hammer. End of story. That's not how it works. Just because it's magic doesn't mean Superman curls up and rolls over. He's just not invulnerable to it. So it's just a big dude hitting him with a big hammer, he can still dodge and deflect at super speed, plus his strength is something like 10 times Thor's.

So it's just a big dude hitting him with a big hammer, he can still dodge and deflect at super speed, plus his strength is something like 10 times Thor's. This is the most  conversation we could have, however, I believe Thor would come out on top. Even if Superman's strength is 10x that of Thor, all Thor has to get is one good hit in with Mjolnir, and Supes is unconscious/dead. Assuming of course that Superman's lack of invulnerability means that the hammer would hit him with the same force it would hit your or I, then on top of that add in the fact that the hammer is wielded by a God's strength. I mean, Superman punches Thor a thousand times at superspeed, Thor cracks him with a bolt of lighting, swings once - game over. Now there's a movie we will never see. I was ultimately disappointed in the JLA/Avengers crossover because everyone knew they'd just end up teaming up in the end, and that's exactly what happened. It wasn't particularly interesting and basically non-canon so the book never really "mattered."

It was made cannon as the egg later appeared in JLA, however it is now non canon along with every other JLA story. Also the story did not matter as it was mostly an excuse to see the team up and Perez draw every avenger and JLA member.

Tuxedo Jack posted:This is the most I'm tying this silly discussion into a point about the films. Superman moves (as in reactions, etc., not just flight) somewhere near the speed of light. He can do complex actions, like, changing clothes for instance, instantly, because of how insanely quickly he moves. Writers often forget/don't use this because it takes so much drama away from action scenes (the same problem that writers have with The Flash). Thor, on the other hand, is written to move very, very quickly, somewhere around Spider-man speed, while he can fly with his hammer at FTL speeds (flight speed is like flying a jet or something in comics terms). Spider-man is quick enough to dance around bullets and normal people move in slow motion to him. But that's literally thousands of times less fast than someone like Superman. What that means is that Superman would be able to punch someone like Thor 1000 times before they even knew a punch was being thrown. And when Thor swung his hammer, it would move like a statue to Superman, and he'd have no problem dodging it. It's really a no-contest. I'm tying this into the films, because, this is one thing that I'd like to see explored more in Superhero films that almost never gets shown at all - the idea that these characters are blurs to normal people. They focus so much on making characters strong that they forget about the whole "speed" thing. Rarely do moves pay any attention to this - Spider-man did it at the beginning of the movie (with the Flash Thompson punch) and then completely forgot about it for the rest of the series (well, it never really came into play outside of explaining why he moved so quickly). Even Superman 4 had Clark in two places at once in a horrible sequence, but I don't remember quickness coming into play at all in Returns. Daredevil at least dodged some bullets or something. That's the one thing that Smallville got right (sometimes). Clark used speed more than anything. I hope this movie keeps Superman's insane speed, as that' something a little more rare to see in superhero films.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Batman's got bat ears. Catwoman's gotta have cat ears. They SORT of rationalized the bat ears in Begins, though. Before his costume was complete, there was a scene in which we see him wearing some kind of ear piece with a tall antennae for listening in on people from a distance, and there's a weird static-y sound interfering. Then we see him pull up his coat over the antennae and the interference stops. So in the Nolan-verse the bat ears are eavesdropping technology that conveniently make his mask look appropriately bat-like. What would Catwoman's excuse be? The same thing, maybe? Why not, I guess.

Not sure about the rest of the series, but Spider-Man dodging the razor bats in the apartment was so speedy they put it in slow motion so that it wouldn't look like a two-second spastic, twisting blur.
