Not to break up the objectifying, but the reason she's in so many terrible roles and movies is that Hollywood and society is sexist. There's far fewer starring/meaty roles for women as there are for men. Hope that helps......
I'm pretty sure the original Clayface could only change his face, not the rest of his body. I could see something like happening, if the guy was played as a master of disguise.Also, this news dashes my hopes that Hardy was cast to play a very off-theme Clayface.
Yeah that's what I was thinking! Well without the knowledge tat it had come from somewhere.
The idea that Tom Hardy would play a master of disguise in a Nolan movie is pretty established too!
I think I pull it off pretty well.

I've never been a fan of the giant hulking "and his muscles grew three sizes that day," on venom, Bane. I've always thought it was pretty absurd. That said,
Tom Hardy is not lacking in muscles. IMDB says he's only 5'9", though. I guess that's what you're talking about. Average height doesn't really work in towering superhero world, especially against 6' Christian Bale.
Personally, I think Bane is wasted as a hulking brute (as he was wasted in Batman: Arkham Asylum, one of my few complains about the game). When Bane was introduced in the comics, and broke Batman, he didn't do it by strength alone. First he broke all the inmates out of Arkham, and slowly wore Batman down until he couldn't defend himself, even inside his own home. That's got to be the kind of villain Bane is if the movie is going to work well. Done right, it could work even with an actor of average height.
Also, I don't see a problem with Hathaway physically. She's pretty, and I'm sure she can get in shape. I'm uncertain of her acting skills, though that's because I haven't seen most of her career. What I have seen, and the reviews I've read, haven't shown me anything to get excited about, though.
Can I get a what what.
What what.
Not just no, but FUCK no. All her recent films serve only to bash you in the face with her Angelina Jolie-ness. Spare me.
Actually i was thinking more about the way she'll move and look in the actions scenes... Bane on the other hand doesn't really need to look huge, just solid... and they can always make him look taller with whatever magic they use on Tom Cruise...
Anne Hathaway has to do a better job than Halle Berry at least, right? 
I was skeptical about Heathe Ledger as Joker but he pulled it off flawlessly. I'm not going to judge until I actually see Anne as Catwoman.
I tried Google-ing to see if anyone had done a quick manip of Anne/Catwoman like they did with Kristen Bell/Harley Quinn. Sadly nothing yet, just these:

That film couldn't be saved by anything any actor could have done...Anne Hathaway has to do a better job than Halle Berry at least, right?
And Ledger had already proven he could play off beat characters, so i wasn't worried, even if i wasn't expecting him to be that good.
My problem now is the same one i had with Don Cheadle in IM2... great actor, good performance... just couldn't see him an Rhodey... especially jarring because Downey fit Stark so well. But i guess Bale doesn't fit Batman much either...
That's Black Cat, not Catwoman, and she's always been exceptionally voluptuous in all of her portrayals. Whoever made that is an idiot.
Downey is a drunken, womanizing, arrogant addict in REAL LIFE. He wasn't acting, he was just pretending the movie was an autobiography.
Well, I am a terrible person...
...terribly awesome.
You are lucky Minecraft is borked.
Wow, look at that echo in here?!
I think it is funny that most articles say that Michele Pfieffer was the first to play Catwoman. Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt and Lee Merriweather might have something to say about that.
Too bad there is no young Julie Newmar to fill out that catsuit.

I guess Nolan could cast Cathy Bates as Catwoman, she is really good at those meaty parts that don't get offered to most other actresses.
ROFLMAOSounds like something a vampire sympathizer would say...

Hrm - Catwoman rarely thinks big. She's just a particularly glamorous burglar. That means she almost certainly isn't the primary antagonist. That means Bane is our big bad. That means that he can't be just a dumb bruiser, because those don't present sufficiently menacing threats to qualify as primary antagonists in a Nolan movie. That means smart Bane.
Can I get a 'hell yes' over here?

Except that Ledger actually had work that you could look back on and say "well maybe...".
No, not really. Ledger was basically, OMFG... how can this guy POSSIBLY compare to dear Jack Nicholson? Now, few folk thinks Jack's performance comes close to Ledger's.
I like Hathaway (in more ways than one) but our grumpy media critic was right for once. It's very hard to be a pretty lady and get roles that don't pin you in certain ways. Few actresses do. And I'm 100% certain that Nolan can inspire her to greatness.
If you ain't happy though, feel free to watch Batman vs Robin fully then come back and say... "I guess it can't be as bad as Batman and Robin right?" and be plesantly surprised when the movies comes out.

Like what? Brokeback Mountain? Wait, who else is in that movie...?
...the prettier Gyllenhaal?
Maggie?

I'd watch that.
I'm not in charge of this movie so my wish of not seeing another catwoman incarnation won't be realized. If the advertising sucks me in, I'll see it. If it doesn't then I won't.
Regardless of what actor/actress is in the movie, I'm pretty sure Nolan is running on fumes in regards to which Batman villian is going to add the least bit of camp factor to his gritty version of the Caped Crusader.
I would have stayed away from Catwoman and Bane. I would have gone with the Riddler as some schlep in Arkcam Asylam that got holed up with the Joker. That way you don't lose that whole menacing Joker vibe the Dark Knight ended with.
