A sneak peak at Anne Hathaway’s costume as Catwoman in the upcoming Dark Knight Rises was revealed today, with one very surprising detail–there’s not a pair of kitty ears in sight. MTV.com says,

On Friday morning (August 5), fanboys got their first look at Hathaway in her catsuit after some production stills from Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” made their way online.

The pic, however, shows a Catwoman quite different from other film incarnations. There are no feline ears, half-masks or strategically placed costume tears like the ones on Berry’s 2004 getup. Instead, Hathaway, with her hair tied back in a ponytail, sports black goggles and a skintight black jumpsuit while riding what appears to be the Batpod.

When grilled about her role as Selina Kyle, a.k.a. the Catwoman, the 28-year-old actress said nothing. “I signed a blood oath,” she told Total Film on Wednesday, refusing to give up the goods. “Bloody thumbprint on the paper.”

This is probably a smart move by Nolan since he’s going for more of a “real world” feel to his Batman movies (aside from you know, Batman wearing a full-on costume). And walking around with a tail and a pair of kitty ears tends to make people take you less seriously. At least that’s the vibe I get when I go to the grocery store in my Julie Newmar-style Catwoman costume.
