When a Batman film is made, we always tend to sit back and try to figure out who would have been better suited as one of the iconic characters and who fit the role just right. Throughout the years we’ve been discussing the best and worst performances in a Batman flick, and in the recent months since the casting of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, we’ve sat back and doubted the casting decision. But in the end, we’re here to discuss the best and worst female portrayals in a Batman movie.
Before we begin though, I wanted to point out one thing. If Halle Berry’s Catwoman (2004) had been considered a Batman film she would have been named the worst actress in a Batman film. Catwoman wasn’t a Batman film, therefore won’t be seen on this list.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s begin. Read more on Best & Worst Female Portrayals in a Batman Film…

30 Days of Batman
With The Dark Knight Rises in theaters in just a few weeks I have been assigned to give you all a little back story on the character of Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman.
Selina Kyle was first introduced in 1940 with an alter ego known as “The Cat”. In her first appearance in the comic book, Selina is known as a high stake thief and Batman’s foe. Yet, Batman and Kyle carry on a love-hate relationship throughout the story.
Throughout the years so many changes have been made to the character of Selina Kyle. In 1986 Frank Miller revised the story of Catwoman in Batman: Year One and made Selina a more complex character. Miller’s Kyle works as a prostitute and wants to break away from her abusive pimp after she witnesses him commit many crimes. When her sister is abused, Selina is inspired to study self-defense and martial arts. Read more on Understanding the Character: Catwoman…
Earlier today we got a look at the newest poster for The Dark Knight Rises. Apparently you all wanted more, so Warner Brothers has delivered a new set of character posters for Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy), and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway).
The Dark Knight Rises will bring the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy to its epic conclusion on July 20th.

 When it comes to ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, almost any bit of news is worthy of publishing. Seriously, aside from perhaps ‘Prometheus’, is there any other film that’s as eagerly anticipated in 2012? Any film from Christopher Nolan is going to be looked at with hungry eyes by most film fans, but this is something special, not the least of which being that fact that this is bringing the story to a close. I know on my end, they’re 1 and 1A, with smaller things like ‘Argo’ and ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ also high on my list. Anyway, here we have Entertainment Weekly’s Batman/Catwoman cover that you can see after the jump, along with a piece of promo art highlighting a full length look at Anne Hathaway as Catwoman that you can feast your eyes on to the right. I don’t have any real issue with her costume (in Nolan I trust when it comes to this franchise), but I know it’s a point of contention for some, so feel free to debate its merits in the comments section if you’re inclined to do so. We welcome the discussion, that’s for sure, so be sure to have at it!
