Her first ongoing comic series started AFTER the release of Batman Returns which established her as an escaped orphan of the state and a petty theif who crossed a bunch of ninja's and then received training from them.

    As far as Burton goes establishing her as an on again off again love interest of Batman sticks pretty close to what she originally was in the comics and the rest is filled in because Catwoman wasn't a very well fleshed out character anyway.

    No, I'm talking about the crazy which seems to be a sticking point with you in relation to Hathaway's portrayal of Selina.

    Oh is it bad I didn't even notice that part of the quote because I take it for granted that all women are neurotic?

    I have no doubt it was just used for the trailer, but I hope none of the Joker's theme shows up in ​Rises.

    Oh, dry your eyes princess. I'm one of the biggest Batman nerds here. You have any Batman tattoos? I have three. I thought it was funny, and other than the new spoiler info that leaked today...and until the ARG picks up steam, news is slow. You'll be ok.

    Part of one of them, just to prove it. Wraps around the arm, Batman with the bat symbol and Gotham on the other side. I'd show the others but one of them is on my ass next to a portrait of theruiner.

    I wouldn't want it on my arm but it's a masterpiece compared to some of the ghastly images I've seen on people in my neck of the woods. One guy let an amateur do him up a "chick with a whip" and I swear the guy must have had Parkinson's because it's a shaky mess with ridiculously skewed proportions. Like if you were told you had one minute to sketch this chick and your only reference was her image in a funhouse mirror. The thing is huge too, it covers his entire upper arm and even creeps into the lower a bit. I'll never forget the shame in his eyes as he revealed it to me.

    Wow. This is why I don't bother with it. Is it because it's an early shot and wasn't close to completion? Or because it was something I got from a friend who asked to do it and had been tattooing for about 1.5 years so I said 'Sure, practice on me and get some experience for your portfolio.'? Or is it because it's hard to get a not awkward angle of my own arm with my iphone?

    Or maybe it's just because anonymous internet trolls that are probably the saddest cunts in real life are nothing new to ETS? Can't decide...

    Alright kids. Enough with arguing about who is the biggest fan of the guy who dresses up like a bat.

    I have never understood how everyone got so utterly swept away with The Dark Knight. I dont really rate Nolan at all. *It had its moments, it looked great.

    But for some reason I have never really given a shit about Batman. I like some of the gothic elements of Batman, but that seems to have been taken out of the Nolan franchise.
    It looked good, had a mindblowing cast, with some amazing acting, but for some reason still didnt care??? Which is really unlike me. * It felt a bit over dramatic. For something called Batman??*

    Im interested in this Bane*character, Tom Hardy is a great actor.*

    Hmm I guess I'd say that's one of the main reasons I actually dug the hell out of it. There are enough variations in the comics, graphic novels, cartoons, etc. that for the movie I think I loved the realistic approach to it. I wouldn't have changed a thing, but that's just my opinion.

    These are actually all very good reasons for loving this movie...? I'm sorry it had the opposite effect on you. Though it definitely was dead serious and rarely had a sense of humor (for a movie about the Joker), I think that dark drama was what made it so great. I guess Batman is not the kind of guy who appreciates levity in any form beyond dry British humor from his butler.

    I've only lately been able to pinpoint my love for these Batman movies, and it really just boils down to this. I loved a lot of the 80's and 90's action blockbusters as a kid (including the Burton Batman's). As I grew older, that circle widened to include more introspective and hard-boiled material. This series, and especially especially The Dark Knight, is as close to a fusion of those two extremes that I can think of

    Not 100% yet. WB has released a statement saying it's "absolutely not true" though the source (Collider) says it is...
