Poll: The Dark Knight Rises: why does cat woman look so stupid?

[Kae]

Ok, I'd buy that if 2Face hadn't looked so stupid.

Spoiler

I mean I like the idea of burning instead of acid, but the execution considering this was supposed to be a realistic take on Batman looks more than silly, if we're going for the realistic defence then he shouldn't be able to talk!
But that's just me, I think I get a little bit too nitpicky with the costumes.

How dare you!

Harvey Dent was easily the most compelling villain any Batman film has ever had! You scoundrel! You fiend!

Oh, I do think Two Face is one of the best Batman villains, and I did like Aaron Eckhart as Two Face but the way he looked was stupid.

The man just lost his fiancé and had half of his face burnt... have you no heart?

But I never said I didn't like the character, I just said that his design is stupid and if he really had the face burnt exactly like that he shouldn't be able to talk not to mention, he should be dripping saliva from that gigantic hole on his cheek, what I'm saying is that hole is stupid.

It's just nice to see a version of Catwoman whose breasts aren't spilling out all over the place. Or isn't rubbing up and down on someone's leg like a cat on heat before raping an emotionally-crippled man who dresses up as a giant bat. She looks like she belongs in Nolan's version of Bat-Universe. Maybe the ears are an attempt at black humour as she is running around in a city populated by crazy vigilantes and criminals who play dress up in public.

 

[SeeIn2D]

I don't think it's bad at all. From a male perspective I like how it pushes up...um...her...posture...yeah...the costume looks so tight that her posture is really good and maintained that way...let's go with that. But in all seriousness I think the costume is fine. In reality I think the shorter hair of Halle Berry just works better with the suit but in reality the suit itself is fine if not a little boring.

 

[Navvan]

Its not my ideal Catwoman costume, but its nowhere near as bad as the the other two you posted. Overall I feel its adequate for the setting.

 

[Ghonzor]

I don't think it looks completely stupid, at least HER costume doesn't remind me of Goatse every time I see it.

Looking at you Bane..

Cannot unsee.

Anywho, I've always thought Catwoman was silly anyway. Oh well

Hell, of the three costumes shown, I like the DKR one the most. And Tim Burtons the least. It looks too .... Tim Burton-y.

You're like the 5th person who has said that, xD

 

[Nazulu]

*sigh*

Batman uses wings to glide, the vision for infiltration, and what not. I can tolerate that. Yes, calling everything the bat*whatever* is a bit much but I can handle it.

What is Catwomen going to use/have? I'm serious, I don't know.

No, I meant like shrieking extremely loud and catching insects with his mouth.

Uh, you actually meant that would be funny. I thought you were trying to make it sound like I was contradicting myself. Sorry.

 

[Davroth]

I don't find it offensive or anything. Quite frankly, cat as a theme for a superhero or villain is kinda lame in general. Except for Catman. He's the boss.

Spoiler

JK I mean that guy.

Wait, he looks kinda lame, too. XD

 

[manic_depressive13]

It is not a joke. Batman was afraid of bats and dressed like a bat to instill a fear of bats into the populace. Catwoman dresses like a cat because... she's... a cat burglar...

... That's just plain silly. It doesn't even make sense. Just because your profession is a cat burglar does not mean you dress like a cat.

No, this movie will have some explaining to do. I demand that she has a traumatic experience with cats when she's younger or possibly that she made her fortune developing lolcats.

Edit: Unless you didn't understand the question, in which case... woops. "Why does she dress like a cat and call herself cat woman when it can only be harmful to her career prospects?" is more what I was asking.

Wait, so dressing up like a bat because you think it will make people afraid of actual bats is reasonable, yet dressing up as a cat essentially for the lulz (she likes puns) is too much? I'm sorry but Batman's reasoning is fucking stupid. Does he really think it would work like that? I'm not saying that dressing up like a cat isn't also absurd. It's just that in the Batman universe people just like to dress like animals, probably because they're depraved freaks, so to question Catwoman's schtick alone seems a bit unfair.

 

[dreadedcandiru99]

Yeah, I really don't like how Catwoman looks in TDKR.

I really like her design in Arkham City though:

Yeah, that's pretty much the modern outfit. All they had to do for the movie was zip it up and lose the heels.

 

[Vrex360]

I think it looks quite good, sleek and sexy and also a lot more practical than some other iterations in the past. Granted I, as a man filled with testosterone, prefer other more recent versions of Selena's costume but this still looks good.

But really how she looks/dresses is not the issue with me. Because honestly as far as I was concerned it wasn't the outfit that made Michelle Pfier's Catwoman stand out, it was the actress and her sizzlingly sexy performance that made the character so memorable. So honestly the outfit isnt my interest here, it's just waiting to see if the actress can pull it off.

Here's hoping Ms. Hathaway.

 

[marurder]

Take off the ears and it could be any agent/spy/hero/villain in a black leather suit. Not really inspirational and just dumbing down a character so they are as generic and bland as all others.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

The Dark Knight Rises recieved a standing ovation at it's advanced screening.

 

[SpaceBat]

I KNOW, RIGHT?!

Seriously, Anne Hathaway as the Catwoman has me driving up the walls. I am less inclined to see the movie because of her and Bane (out of all the villains you could pick, you went for the steroid one).

To be quite honest, there aren't really too many alternatives left that could actually end the franchise. Harley Quinn would have been fun to see after Joker's demise, but it would be underwhelming. The Riddler is cool, but this is the final movie and riddler cannot possibly turn the movie into a good finale.

I would have wanted it to somehow end with Joker, as I've always seen him as the main villain of the series, but seeing as he's already done for in the second movie, choosing the genius monster that once beat Batman is a decent choice.

Who else could they have used? The Penguin? Poison Ivy? Killer Croc?

 

[Razor Z7]

I actually prefer the Arkham City one. Looks fantastic.

Step into the ring with Wildcat and see how fast your opinion changes.

Agreed. Bane has the physical and mental requirements to be a great villain. There wasn't really anyone else that could end the series well.
