I'm sure there are mixed feelings when Warner Bros. had finally revealed Anne Hathaway in her black skintight costume as Catwoman in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. And now the original Catwoman herself, Julie Newmar, who used to play the iconic role back in the 1960s TV's Batman alongside Adam West, has spoken out on how she feels about Anne Hathaway's role.
"I adore Anne Hathaway. First of all, she's so gorgeous, and there's something so sweet about her, and I know that she has all these other [performing] abilities. I think she'll be splendid!"
She also added about what makes Catwoman such an enticing character to be played as a role.
"Catwoman is appealing because she's a rascal. If you're the good kid in the family you kind of get ignored, but if you're the naughty one, you're the one that they're always going after, always looking to see what you'll do next or what's happening here. They're not going to keep their eyes off of you. ou put on that black and it slims you down, put on the heels and that also makes your posture go forward slightly so you're kind of out there, looking and accepting and finding new people to play with."
