The film, slated for a Summer 2012 release stars Christian Bale in the titular role, Hathaway as Catwoman, Tom Hardy as Bane and my future ex-husband Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake. Series regulars Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman return as well.

Joining Hathaway and Christian Bale will be Inception star Tom Hardy who will play Bane, the drug-enhanced, muscle-bound supervillain who once broke Batman’s back…suddenly I’m feeling all hot and bothered.

Anne has some big paws to fill, particularly Michelle Pfeiffer’s spectacular portrayal in Tim Burton‘s Batman Returns. Then there’s Julie Newmar — thanks for everything! — and the legendary Earrrrrrrrtha Kitt from the television series.

She comes as a surprise for the role and though not my first choice, I think she can pull it off. Plus it will be interesting to see her in a role that’s so un-Hathaway-esque, much like 2008′s Rachel Getting Married.

Now let’s get down to the important shit — who will be designing her catsuit? Off the top of my head I’d say Givenchy, Versace and, if they go the latex route, Sears.

Ever wonder what history would be like if superheroes and intergalactic bad asses ran shit. Indonesian photog and illustrator Agan Harahap uses his Photoshop skills to give us a peak at an alternate universe where Batman’s a Fidel loving commie, Darth Vader is working for the Third Reich, and Spidey is ready for warfare.

Thanks Fashion Gone Rogue!

Rumors have hit the internet that Megan Fox will play Catwoman in the next Batman movie. Thoughts?

So lovely!!! These Miu Miu pumps are completely covetable and so perfect for a woman who wants to use her feminine wiles to get the Bat. Sorry, quoting Batman & Robin. Don’t you just love how forgiving Hollywood has been to George Clooney and Uma Thurman?!? Not so much for Silverstone.

Really people, we’re still doing this? I am embarrassed to know that this exists and is in some way loosely associated with fashion. We already know how played out the full zip hoodie is, and this is just over the top. These hoodies are probably what causes Christian Bale to freak out in public. If you’re going to buy this you might as well just wear a Halloween costume out in public.

Imagine this plus this…

Angelina Jolie is interested in playing Catwoman in the upcoming sequel to The Dark Knight. If this is true, boys around the world will be dressing up like balls of yarn in hopes that she fiddles with their kibbles and bits.

The London premiere of Batman:The Dark Night, brought the stars and London guest together. I couldn’t help but notice a cohesive pattern among the red carpet: darkness. While Heath Ledger’s death and the film’s title evoke a dark tone, it’s summer! Summer is the time for white, pastels and brights. While most of the guests looked stunning, the lack of variation was disappointing. On a brighter note, the film raked in 155.34 Mill during the weekend, at box office, now there is something to smile about!

‘The Man Who Laughs’ (1928)

Bob Kane (the creator of Batman) used still of Conrad Veidt from this silent film as the intial inspiration for the Joker. In the silent film Veidt played disrespect prince, who’s father carves a smile into his face.

Batman #1 (1940)

The Joker’s first apperance.

Batman-The TV Series (1960′s)

The gayest Joker of them all!

The Killing Joke (1986)

In 1986 Alan Moore gave the Joker some balls back, returning him to the morose, amoral villan he was always mean’t to be. This version of the Joker would have the most impact on Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan’s versions of the Joker

Indie actor Takeshi Kaneshiro will be the face of Emporio Armani’s autumn menswear campaign, making it the first time an Asian male will front a campaign for the Italian label. Takeshi is pretty damn HOT, so Beckham’s will not be missed.

Also, Armani, who designed the costumes for Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne character in the upcoming Batman film, will also outfit the star for a series of campaigns promoting the label’s made-to-measure service. The ads will coincide with the film’s US release on July 15.

I am very happy to know that indie actors are taking over such big name campaigns, and am almost disappointed that Christian Bale is getting soo much free stuff from Armani because of the Batman flick. Doesn’t Armani have enough publicity?

I think Yohji got his inspiration for this collection by watching too much Batman. Or was this designed specially for the Dark Night Movie? If you have any word on this, comment and let us know.
