Commence Saya Coniption in 3...2...

I saw it already and didn't have a conniption fit!
I choose to believe that she lost her cowl/mask somehow and stole Batman's bike. And she also lost her boots and had to substitute with heels. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq3eh25kcv1qbujox.jpg Honestly with all the previews of the Catwoman comic coming up, I'm pretty close to feeling like the character is dead to me anyway. |
To be fair, Hathaway stresses that those shots only show off about 1/10th of what that suit can do and what it is.
What is it about the reboot Catwoman that's upsetting you? Did I miss it somehow? |
Didio is saying that its going to be absolutely dirty, and it does have a higher rating than most other DC comics. From the first and second, I think, all they've released so far is her and Bruce having sex, and in the third one...well this is the released cover but not the final one:

..........
I don't think DC knows what they're doing anymore. |
I was going to say that (except for the heels - whatthaheck?), Hathaway's outfit looks plenty "practical" ... which seems to have been a concern to some in the past. I'm kinda MEH on the look (not because it's not sexualized but because most still pics from film productions don't communicate what the image will feel like to me in the context of the action and the story.)
Regarding DC's upcoming comic-book take on the character, the goggles look as stupid as ever. |

Yeah, on another site I frequent three members were nerd raging hardcore at this picture, but I think it's pretty pointless, because, like Ben said, you don't know how the costume will fair within the context of the movie. |
She reminds me of Julie Newmar.
|
Aside from the heels what I don't like is the lack of mask or cowl or anything to indicate "cat", you know? This could be about when Selina Kyle was just a regular thief, or like I said she just had lost her cowl at this point. Since Talia seems to be around the same shoot its probably towards the end of the movie so I'm hoping its just that.
Because if that's Catwoman, she doesn't look anything like a cat, and its a shitty disguise anyway. |
I want to believe that those high heels are just because she's on a break?
Look... it makes ZERO sense for an acrobatic cat burglar to wear high heels. I can expect that from meat headed artists who know what they like when they draw a woman, but I really really want to believe that Nolan is far more intelligent than that. Seriously, I almost want to take every single artist who ever drew a female combatant and make them run 100 laps in high heels so that they will get it through their retarded skull that there's nothing AT ALL necessary about those kinds of shoes in a combat situation. |
Ah, but practical shoes don't look sexy! The important thing is to make women look sexy on screen, practicality be damned.

I would argue that Sarah Conor was sexy in Terminator 2. It IS possible.
I get your meaning though. Trying to be a kinda funny and all. |

I liked Sarah Connor in T2 and in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Perfect combo of badass meets sexy. |
I hear a lot of women saying that Sarah Conner was sexy in T2. I'm not sure I hear that many guys using that adjective. Oh, she was tough and kicked ass and we admired her, but it's not the same as sexy.
Same for Sigourney Weaver in Aliens or Geena Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight (which I liked a lot.) |
I think women are more sexy when they're kicking ass(verbally or physically).
Personally, I find this sexy. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4XtOF0_jgs...ah+connors.jpg And this. http://www.dvdhamlet.com/images/uplo...0639305366.jpg I don't know, I think that kicking ass is sexy. It is when guys do it in movies, so why can't ass-kicking women be seen as sexy too? |
That's an interesting question. I personally don't think guys or girls kicking ass in a movie is sexy. Nothing sexual about it. Inspiring and exciting, yes, but not sexy. I don't think most guys think it's sexy either.
Let's take an extreme. Do you think female body builders (the kind of person I could see filling a Red Sonja type role) are sexy? Most guys don't, with the notable exception of a certain segment of fetishists. So, let's get back to the heart of the matter ... why do many women think a guy kicking ass is sexy? Is that a throwback memory to a time when women were more dependent on men for protection? We know women do not depend on men for protection now, so the role of men as heroic protector is diminished (and rightly relegated to the past for for it's gender oppressive baggage). But how do we explain the characters put on the screen today, and women's reactions to them? |
Quote:
Also, women are traditionally viewed as ornamental, they're just here to look pretty, right? Hugh Hefner recently said, when asked how he responds to criticisms that he turns women into sex objects, "women are sex objects." They aren't supposed to be functional, they're just supposed to be hot and passive. I think more men than you realize like kickass women, considering most women are hypersexualized in media. I think the question is will men find women sexy if they're kickass even if they are wearing clothes or don't have huge tits busting out of their shirts. Maybe they don't, but I think the assumption they don't and they won't like any women character they don't want to fuck is why things like Kill Bill and Alien only show up now and then. |

Dear Christopher Nolan, If you aren't going to take Catwoman seriously, neither am I. Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar pulled off this look when it was meant to be silly, a gritty "realistic" take on Batman cannot do the same. This movie might just be the final nail in the coffin of Selina Kyle. |
I've been thinking about this for a while. First, I think this statement is true ...
Quote:
I've found that the women of film that I really admired for being the strongest, most heroic characters (Alien's Ripley and The Long Kiss Goodnight's Samantha Caine, for example) do not elicit "She's hot" responses from the guys I know. And as I got emotionally involved in their stories, I never thought "I'd like to sleep with her." I thought "Man, if I were ever in a tight jam, I'd want her at my back." Quote:
--------------------------------- Back to the topic at hand, I really think you have to not go by any pictures or clips that are leaked in advance. People have misjudged what Nolan was doing in advance of a finished product being released and been wrong before. Based on his body of work, I trust the man. |

Well, I was actually more focused on this sentence, which I might have been misunderstanding.

Hollywood assumes too much, sure. But we reinforce and don't properly respond to their assumptions as consumers.

Initiate conniption! |

Although recently a group of friends and I realized that boyfriends like so called chick flicks more than we do, I'm sure its not a true assumption for everyone, and I think Hollywood is doing itself a big disservice for not trying to dispell that. |
After seeing this, I'm feeling a lot more horrified by seeing action heroes in heels.
