We've got our first image now of Catwoman.

...yeah, not feeling it.
...also, why are all current rebooted superheroes (Spider-Man, Superman now Catwoman) wearing suits made out of cut open basketballs? Was there some sort of horrible accident at the Spalding factory?

I get the feeling that's not the final pic of Catwoman. It's probably like a prototype, pre-Catwoman suit, like Batman Begins.

It's better than just straight up spandex. That shit never looks good live-action.

Not to mention half of her is hidden by the batpod. Honestly from what little I can see of it it looks an awefull lot like the comic costume, which is just a black jumpsuit. The only thing it's missing is her traditional "cat" headwear and it should be unzipped enough for her boobs to pop out if we want it to be more comic-ish.
Either way, I'm not going to disown Nolan from one picture.

My first thought on seeing the costume was that there's going to be even more girls walking around conventions wearing leather jumpsuits, and I'm going to have such a hard time figuring out if they're playing Black Widow or Catwoman.
I was underwhelmed with the Joker's first images and thoroughly impressed when I finally saw the movie. So... I'm not really paying attention this time around. Nolan's got my money, guaranteed.
Pretty much this.
I was thinking this for the Bane pics. It looks like Hardy is wearing a thick jacket... in Pittsburgh heat... blech. That can't be fun.
I was thinking the same. That's gotta suck. Especially in a city.
I would ruin that chick
So would a big semi-truck if it ever hit her riding that bike.

Easy: Catwoman will be the one with the cat ears (I still say this ain't the final shot). Black Widow will be the one with the gold bracelets/guns.
I wouldn't get your hopes up. This looks like how Nolan might interpret Selina Kyle (so far in no way has his production referred to her as Catwoman as far as I know).
Is that what you meant?

Nope. I was talking more about lazy cosplay than anything I'd put into the thread. The movie version of Black Widow didn't have the gold belt/bracelets that the comic version does.
The Avengers version of the costume will have more distinguishing features (not the gold bracelets, but something similar, and a belt with the red hourglass symbol on it) which should make telling the two apart easier.
God, I salivate just thinking about next year's slate of comic book flicks.
Am I alone in being shockingly OK with that? I mean, beyond the shape of her cowl and owning a bunch of cats, her gimmick has been more "classy thief and sometime vigilante" than anything else for at least a decade.
Is anyone else getting the vibe that she'll basically be Batman's partner in this movie?
She's not a bad guy--I don't see why she couldn't help him later, give him a new love interest.
Keep in mind, all, Bane isn't the only other villain. I forgot if it's Calendar Man or Holiday who's present as a non-costume villain, and then there's the mob, as always. And the police are after Batman as well.
Damn, I'm looking forward to this.

They've said in a recent press release that she totally stole the bike.
