According to CinemaBlend via Hollywood Life, Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman costume from “The Dark Knight Rises” will not just be fetish fuel.

A source close to the film said that her costume will feature the iconic goggles the character wears in the comic book. “Anne’s outfit is more tactical, like the comic book, than the previous Batman movies,” said the source. “She will definitely be wearing the goggles and it’s going to be less sexy than Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman costumes. She’s going to look more like a robber.”

If you’re concerned about her just looking like a female robber, don’t be too alarmed. “[F]an boys shouldn’t worry,” said the source. “This costume is going to be form-fitting enough to make Anne look smoking hot.”

Reportedly, Hathaway has been working out around the clock to get in shape for the role, so it’ll be very interesting to see how she’ll look in the costume once everything comes together. It’ll also be interesting to see how she interacts with Christian Bale’s Batman once she’s on screen.
