The Dark Knight Rises is continuing to film in Pittsburgh, but at the rate we’re getting leaked set videos, I’m not sure what will be left to be seen when this film releases on July 20, 2012.
Just kidding, although it feels like we’ve seen a ton, we’ve only seen what will work out to a few moments of the film. It’s still a lot of stuff to take in, and I suggest if you want to go into this movie spoiler free, you need to not watch any of these videos, nor read anything from here on out as I will talk about each video from the Chris Nolan film. I would suggest you come back tomorrow.
This is some of the best shots we’ve seen of the Selina Kyle/Catwoman costume yet. (No, this is not Anne Hathaway, it’s her stunt double.) We still have no idea why she’s on the Batpod, but does anyone care at this point?

Probably the most anticipated moment of the production of the third Chris Nolan Batman film has been the reveal of Anne Hathaway in her Catwoman costume. The below image was released via the official site for the film this morning, more than likely as a reaction to the numerous images that have been leaking out of the Pittsburgh, PA set where the film is currently shooting. Oddly enough, while the image is exciting, it raises almost as many questions as it answers.
What in the world is she doing on the Batpod? (still the silliest name ever) Catwoman is a thief, so did she steal it, or has she teamed up with Batman as she does sometimes in the comics?
Kudos to Warner Brothers, they’ve shown us the outfit … without actually showing us the outfit. We still can’t see the majority of it.
No head gear? Catwoman has always worn some sort of hood, usually with at least a slight cat ear motif to it.
The official site is still only referring to her as “Selina Kyle,” Catwoman’s secret identity.

Well … for all I care, it really doesn’t matter how publicity stills for this film look, there is absolutely nothing that will keep me out of the theater come July 2012. I had numerous misgivings prior to The Dark Knight, and by the time I walked out of the theater I was ready to walk right back in and see it again. Chris Nolan has made me such a believer in his concept for these films and characters that, for once, I have actual faith in trust in a filmmaker. He has not entered these films without a vision, and even the aspects I haven’t liked (The name “Batpod” still drives me up the wall), they have only been mild dislike.
No head gear on Catwoman? Eh. Not calling her Catwoman? Eh. Casting Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle? Good job. Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle on the Batpod? AWESOME!
