Anne Hathaway Briefly Talks 'CATWOMAN' Spin-Off

While I might one of the few people who have yet to see The Dark Knight Rises it sounds like Anne Hathaway's performance as Catwoman was a rather large standout. DigitalSpy asked Anne about the possiblity of a spin-off which doesn't seem that unlikely now that Christopher Nolan is now exiting the franchise. Nolan has somewhat left the door open to act as a producer on future Batman projects (similar to Man of Steel) which could lead to a Catwoman movie.

"If [Nolan] is interested then I'm very interested. I think it would be lovely to see more of her but only if it's with the right people," Hathaway said. "She lives in this Gotham City and so it would have to be established by the people who have made this Gotham City. For me, at least."

Gary Oldman Confirms Catwoman Costume & Another Villain

During press for his upcoming film Red Riding Hood Gary Oldman talked about The Dark Knight Rises. He didn't give solid answers to questions he gave another tidbits to wet any fan's appetite. Gary first said that a classic Batman villain has yet to be revealed via UK's EOnline. He also confirmed to Flicks&Bits a costume for Anne Hathaway as he was privy to Catwoman concept artwork.

"I think it's a villain from one of the old, old, from way back from the old comics. It is a Batman villian... It's not going to be the Joker....I think she'll probably wear the cat suit pretty well, don't you?"


"I went to the production offices the other day and there’s all these fantastic pictures across the wall, Catwoman, this, that, and I thought where’s my wall? I don’t have a wall, I just have a rack of very very dull clothes (laughs). I’m looking forward to working with the gang again, Academy Award winning Christian Bale, I bet he won’t get my coffee anymore (laughs)."

If they are going with a classic/old school villain it could end up being Deadshot (1950), Calender Man (1958), Clayface (1940), Solomon Grundy (1944), Hugo Strange (1940), Talia al Ghul (1971), The Penguin (1941), Mad Hatter (1948) or Killer Moth (1951). I would have included both Freeze and Riddler but Nolan has previously stated that neither will be in the film. Talia, Deadshot, Hugo Strange and Calender Man seem like the best bet of bunch. Yet I wouldn't rule out a Nolan version of Red Hood.

Anne Hathaway Confirms Playing Catwoman In Dark Knight Rises, Not Just Selena Kyle

There had been a question when it was announced that Anne Hathaway was cast in The Dark Knight Rises if she'd also be playing Catwoman as well. Now the actress has come out and given a bit of a confirmation on Oprah. As secretive as this third film is any tidbit of story information is big. It's unknown what incarnation we'll be seeing but I can bet that it won't be anything like the Tim Burton version.
