Warner Bros. announced on Jan. 19 that Anne Hathaway would officially be the latest starlet to portray Catwoman in Chris Nolan's upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises. The character has had a grand tradition within Batman media, Anne Hathaway being the sixth woman to play the femme fatale in a live-action role. Before her came Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Halle Berry -- not counting the character's various animated incarnations. But the two big questions here: Can Hathaway pull it off? and is it a good idea to have Catwoman in the third film at all? To both, my answer is yes.
