"I adore Anne Hathaway," said Julie Newmar, who is best know for playing Catwoman in the camp 1960s TV series, in a recent interview with PopcornBiz. "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!"

As for the allure of a character such as this one, Newmar added: "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."

"It just puts you in a good mood, she revealed when quizzed about her experiences donning the catsuit and whether she think Hathaway will feel the same way. "You 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."

"My Catwoman suit is in the Smithsonian Museum now in Washington, D.C. I have a facsimile. Actually, I have two of them. And no, I won't put it on."

@grif Show some respect for your elders dude. She potrayed a great Catwoman during her time and likes the direction of the new one.

Julie Newmar was a awesome Catwoman. It is nice to hear she is still in the loop. We should put her in a Time Machine and bring her in for the new film. Haw!

You know ppl bash Grif about not liking Nolans films but have you guys seen yourselves on the tdkr articles recently. Grif has actually been pretty mild compared to what others have said.

"there's something so sweet about her...'

that doesn't convince me she will make a good Catwoman at all!

Anne Hathaway is a great actress and she is stunning, she will be great.

tomtom12 - 8/15/2011, 2:06 PM
@StrangerX - I agree, but his crying on here is very annoying. I mean if it doesn't like it why does he keep reading the articles about Nolan's Batman. Just seem like he just trolling to get attention.

Must have been a good time in her life.
She seems like a classy lady, so I wouldn't expect her to say anything critical, but as for us however...

Not sure why people always attack grif. Even like above, he was only stating his opinion on a site that is supposed to be FOR the USERS. Grif being a CBM-user he has a right to voice his opinion on a CBM without being reported.

@ckal- Ageed man.

@Greengo- Agreed, that pic is epic.

Wtf Tea? That doesn't look very relaxing! (thank for the tutorial on posting on cbm! I think I may be getting carried away though)

@tea- Awesome gif man. Some people just get butthurt if others don't agree and start reporting. I reported one guy but that's because he said he wished me and my family would die in a car crash. lol

THAT'S the kind of comment that should be reported. So I reported that idiot. But grif saying he doesn't like hathaway's catwoman isn't a big deal, hell I agree with him. Looks pretty bad so far. But I'm hoping it'll look better as time goes on.

@tea, I need to order one of those for the gf... :D

@scion, we have matching shirts ;)

Julie Newmar was WICKED as Catwoman! Just the right amount of sexiness and craziness. When they made the (seriously slow, and dull, and boring so-called spin off film of the TV series I was gutted that Newmar was busy making another (also comic strip sourced) movie at the same time). I think that she's a good sport, a good human being, and a good mother who has spent the rest of her time - post fame - looking after her disabled son. So cut her some slack.

I love the old batman show she was just right for that role. I think favorite cat woman was michelle pfeiffer myself. I can't wait this movie comes out.

Newmar's good and all, but I doubt she knows Anne from anything other than her movies. She will suck as Catwoman imo. And on the topic of Grif: I know I'm new on here, but I've been coming to this site and reading comments for a year or two now. He used to annoy me with his constant negativity, but he's grown on me. He comes here and says what he needs to say and that's it. He doesn't insult anyone here (at least not that I've seen) even when they give him shyt. I also enjoy the many entertaining pics and gifs you guys put on here. Great stuff!

@tea- Yeah man, some people are just crazy [frick]s on this site hahahaha.

@greengo- yeah man your gif was epic i loved it. Soooo funny and random. But Hulk vs. Grif...? Damn...I gotta go with Grif on that one hahaha =P

@coloso- I agree with JDUKE, that gif you posted is just about as epic as greengo's gif. Hard for me to choose...elmo with boobies for a face...or grif getting pwn'd by Hulk...lol
