...The Princess Diaries is Catwoman? o.0

Yes, I know that movie, to my everlasting shame. Hush.

Could be worse, could be better. I'm sure she'll be fine.

I'm more jazzed to find out Hardy is playing Bane - not my favorite character from the comics, but I think the core of the character is perfectly suited to Nolan's approach.

Between this casting news and the clunky title, itself, my enthusiasm for this movie is dented. For me, Anne Hathaway and Batman are like oil and water.

Well, I still maintain that the best woman for the job would be Summer Glau, but it's not entirely unexpected that she wasn't cast. I can see Anne Hathaway being a bit cat-like, I don't think she's a bad choice. I'm just glad to see there's going to be a Catwoman chapter in Nolan's franchise. I would have been very disappointed if there hadn't been.

I do not need the written code of a spiritual belief to act like a decent human being.

I guess, to be fair, people were saying the same thing about Heath Ledger, and except for the few people who think his dying made his performance overrated, most people thought he was an incredibly edgy (and brilliant IMO) Joker.

I agree with you, but it could be worse. For example, they could've cast a dude as Catwoman.

I do not understand Hathaway's appeal, and distrust anyone who does.

Stoked though that Bane will be making an appearance. Hopefully, he gets to snap Batman's back. And also Catwoman's. And everyone else's, too.

I'm not interested enough by the Catwoman story to particularly care on way or another about the character's inclusion. For me, all it really serves to do is invite very unnecessary comparisons to the Burton movie series.

The comparisons have been there all along anyway, and it couldn't be any worse in this case than it was over the Joker.

Wasn't there already a Catwoman movie? And wasn't it really REALLY bad?
