History of Catwoman

Making headlines is Anne Hathaway who’s the new sleek sexy Catwoman of the new generation of the Batman movies. So the charming lass will be joining The Dark Knight Rises as one of the formidable enemies. Which i always felt that Batman and Catwoman would make one helluva couple. Even the name rings well together. I confess that at first it was a shocker, cause i’ve always considered Miss Hathaway as a very polished, elegant, sophisticated…. basically another type of Natalie Portman actress. I’ve stereotyped her but you know after a second thought – the late Heath Ledger was also a shocker as the Joker. Anne is no doubt a fantastic actress.I only managed to see “Princess Diaries” and “The Devil Wears Prada” actress as a completely different character in the film Warner Bros has The Dark Knight Rises scheduled to hit theaters starting on July 20th, 2012. Apparently the movie is currently in pre-production and is still set to start shooting later this year. The full cast is still yet to be confirmed. In the meantime lets go back in time and see the past Catwoman’s that peaked our interest. Julie Newmar originated the role of Catwoman in the 1966-67 “Batman” television series – Photo by ABC Eartha Kitt took over the role of Catwoman for the third and final season of the 1960s “Batman” television series. The “Santa Baby” singer slipped into the suit vacated by Julie Newmar for the third and last season of the 1960′s Batman show. She is show here with The Joker (Cesar Romero) in her second and final appearance as the third Catwoman. The two were foes of the Dynamic Duo. - Photo by ABC Lee Meriwether portrayed Catwoman in the 1966 film version of “Batman” Lee Meriwether brought the role to the big screen for the first time in the 1966 Batman movie and later portrayed another iconic figure: Lily Munster in the late eighties revival of The Munsters. – Photo by FOX This was the first catwoman i saw, so i’ll say she caught my interest most. Michelle Pfeiffer starred as Kyle/Catwoman in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns in 1992. The character, as interpreted by Burton, was a meek secretary who becomes empowered after she is almost killed and left for dead. Pfeiffer played her with a mix of repression and sensuality, with the character breaking out as a symbol of female empowerment and becoming a pop culture sensation.- Photo by WB Halle Berry played the title role in the critically-panned 2004 film “Catwoman”. Halle Berry’s turn as Catwoman in the 2004 film was far from successful: despite costing around $100 million to make, it only grossed $17 million in its first weekend and got Berry awarded a “worst actress” Razzi — which she accepted in person. Her paycheck for the film? $12.5 million.- Photo by WB And finally here is the new Catwoman! It’s a big franchise and they should know who their cast should be. Here’s looking to a new catwoman!

The Dark Knight Trailer

Linora Low — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:25:41 +0000

I happen to come across the Dark Knight Trailer on someone’s blog and I have to say. It is intense! Batman has never been so sinisterly freaky. And can I dare provoke you to wonder why?Check out the trailer…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaIR9dAZRR0

and this poster….

This is the official one.

It looks like something out of a Stephen King. Remember the movie “IT” which has till today traumatised a lot of in our childhood days. Hahaha. To be honest I didn’t like Christian Bale that much, or maybe it was just his movies that he picked. But I have to say after watching The Prestige… I have come to admire him as an actor. He does know how to pull of his characters in a very different manner. I use to also mistake him with Tom Cruise, cause they have slightly similar bone structure… to me! I find that I enjoy Bale’s performances more than I do with Cruise’s, albeit that of course they are well established actors. But Bale has some thing… almost mysterious and dark, that he brings to the characters he plays. Which is perfect for Batman. Batman from my understanding and from what I’ve read, is that Batman has a much darker plot than the movies portray to be.

Our ever so cool Bruce Wayne.

And our Dark Knight.. As for the Joker in Batman. You shall never believe who plays this psychotic man! It is brilliant played out by the looks of the trailer.If you really want me to spoil it…. The Joker in the new Batman movie is played by Heath Ledger! Yeap our pretty boy from Brokeback Mountain and Don Juan Casanova… is the killer joker. Mad laughter and all..

Interrogation time with Batman.

Whoaaaa.. can you see Heath Ledger’s heavily made up face? Another thing I want to mention is the promotion that was done for this movie somewhere I think either last year or early this year. The viral marketing scheme was brilliant.. Simple and brilliant. I’ve shared this many time with other friends but I think i need to share it again. This was how it was played out. First Warner Bros. had sent out this site to some hardcore Batman fans to this page.

From there you would think it leads to a typical movie website.. nope.. instead leads to yet another picture.

Which leads to yet another picture but a defaced Harvey Dent.

Now by now the people would be thinking there is another picture on the following page. But wait! There’s a catch. You can’t view the next image. Rather you need some help to view it. One the following click from the defaced Harvey, you remove one pixel from the image. But that’s it. You can’t do anything else to see what is underneath the Harvey Dent image. What can be done is to email all your friends and ask them to help you in the process of revealing the picture hidden underneath.

The email looks something like so

And this brillian. Why? Because not only is the email going to spread about like wild fire, but everyone will now know about the upcoming movie. I don’t know if this viral ever hit our shores but it was a hit overseas in the US. Because finally everyone sent out their email bit by bit like a water ripple. This is the end result.

Well it’s not the actual picture but that was the picture underneath. Pretty cool eh.
