And now we have our official first look at Selina Kyle/Catwoman.

Can't say this one does much for me. And while it doesn't really bother me, that doesn't look much like Catwoman.

Though I guess this isn't necessarily the full costume.

It's on a stand. While the Tumbler is a fully working vehicle, I don't think they could knock together a plane. There's a video of it in action earlier on in the thread.

 

Unless you know that and are commenting on the general ugliness and "what the fuck is this? just sheets of metal arranged together?" look of it then yeah I agree.

I wouldn't have a problem with him dying, but I get the feeling it might all be a tease and it's essentially about finally being able to retire 'The Bat', with Gotham now 'saved'.

 

EDIT: And, yeah, the Batwing does look kinda weird. It looks sort of like Jack from Gears of War, or the things from Batteries Not Included.

 

OBLIGATORY: I trust Nolan.

Im not really impressed by this and im actually looking forward to the Avengers a lot more. I must be fucked up in the head.

 

Actually thinking about it now, I felt really uncomfortable with how the Dark Knight became so overrated and Inception followed suit. And in that time Ive seen Thor and Captain America, two movies I really liked from Marvel. Its been a while since Ive seen a new Batman film. Ill probably change my mind once I see this in the theater. I saw The Dark Knight 3 times at the theater. Ive never seen a film more than twice at a theater, so its a pretty big deal to me. That being said, I only saw my bluray of the Dark Knight once. I got tired of it quickly. I prefer Begins a lot more nowadays.

Looks interesting. Definitely does seem to be going the 'Bane breaking Batman's back route' once you figure out what the hell Bane says to the injured Bruce Wayne. Which sort of leads me to think that perhaps the 'Batman dies' rumours/tease is playing off of that element anyway.

 

Anywway, I am still totally stoked.

Even the harrier has wings. That kind of system is fine for take-off and landing, but it doesn't work well for sustained flight and (more importantly for a movie) looks unnatural/unrealistic.

 

That said though, we've seen little of it, and depending on how they do it it could still work. For instance, if it's like this kind of thing:

where the entire turbine assembly rotates, allowing vertical thrust for sustained flight, then I think it could work.
