Anne Hathaway joins a famous sorority of actresses who have made Catwoman come to life. The actress is talking with the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex about her Catwoman and the connection to Bane.
Hathaway wants fans to know her portrayal of Selina Kyle will be unique and based on the situation she finds herself in The Dark Knight Rises:
“What’s come before doesn’t limit or even affect this new version. It doesn’t affect me because each Catwoman – and this is true in the comics as well – she is defined by the context of the Gotham City created around her. Catwoman is so influenced by Gotham and whoever is creating Gotham at the time… You have to live in whatever the reality of the world is and whatever Gotham is.
“Gotham City is full of grace. You look at Heath’s performance as the Joker, there was a lot of madness there but there was also a grace and he had a code there. There’s a lot of belief and codes of behavior in Gotham and my character has one, too. A lot of the way she moves and interacts with people is informed by her worldview. Chris has given us all such complex, defined, sophisticated worldviews that it’s just a matter of doing your homework and getting underneath the character’s skin.”
Will Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman purr or roar? After The Dark Knight Rises her performance may claw up to the top of my Catwoman’s Greatest Cuts.
