FIRST PICTURE OF CATWOMAN!!

Source: TIME magazine
Monday, September 29, 2003

The new issue of TIME magazine has a first look at Halle Berry in her Catwoman costume. Here's the picture followed by the article. Thanks to 'Hmmm...' for the heads up.

The cat is finally out of the bag. HALLE BERRY slinks into a strapping new ensemble this week when filming starts in Vancouver for Catwoman. The Oscar-winning actress plays the Felonious Feline (see also: Princess of Plunder, Mistress of Malevolence) from the Batman series, a role made famous by Eartha Kitt in the '60s TV show and reinvented by a neoprene-clad Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992. Berry's leather cat suit for the 2004 film is "very bare, very urban, very downtown," she says. Her character, Patience Price, is a scientist at a cosmetics company who transforms into Catwoman — or should we say Sex Kitten?--to take on her nefarious boss, played by Sharon Stone. Benjamin Bratt as a detective is the love interest for Berry's Catwoman, who is both villainess and heroine. "She's not Superman," Berry says. "She's not trying to save the world." Instead, like a pampered house pet, Berry says, "Catwoman is out to save herself." Could be quite a purr-formance.

Can you say 'box office bomb?'

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

Looks like something worn by that Queen of the Sluts, Madonna.

Unbelieveable. No catsuit for Catwoman. Leave it to Hollywood to mess up an obvious winner. Guess I'm left with Julie Newmar's version.

I'm not convinced by her acting.

Sometimes she's beautiful, but not always. She's always pretty, though.

I'm trying to think a female actress/personality who I always saw as beautiful. Can't think of one.

It's not the costume I woulda picked, but still...

Juuuuust Daaaaaaaaaammmnnnn......

,,, Power Exchange costume?

a MASSIVE step downward from Michelle's.
Michelle made a great Catwoman and the costume was superb.

Don't ask me how I know, but that costume only works in one sequence in the film. There is another that they are keeping under wraps that becomes Patience's costume once the initial action is resolved.

It isn't "Cat" enough
More Biker Chick with a funky helmet.

Ann-Margret.

[Skooz]

I guess I am the only male on the planet who doesn't think she's that hot.

I could list dozens who do more for me. Hundreds.

Oh, yeah. To me, Julie Newmar will always be THE Catwoman.

[Eala]

Yawn... I agree.

Grace Kelly

She looks like a Corrupted Rogue from Diablo II. Easy on the eyes, but without a catsuit, it ain't Catwoman.
