Her favorite Catwoman Comic Book
"There is a later one where it's the origin story of Selina [Kyle] and she's [the] Cat and she follows this guy into a museum because she wants to steal this piece, and she touches it and this guy is like 'You've defiled it with your female hands,' " said Hathaway. "[It also includes] her training to become a fighter and she has to battle the guy who was a jerk to her in the beginning, and you get to meet her master who believed in her and who gave her a shot."
Anne discusses first meeting of Catwoman and The Dark Knight in 1940 Batman #1.
"They are on a ship, and Catwoman has been impersonating an old woman and Batman tears off her disguise -- and she's only known as the Cat [at this point] -- so she jumps at him, and is like 'I will claw your eyes out' and Batman's response to her is 'Quiet or Papa Spank.' I was like, thank god times have changed and Chris Nolan believes in equality of the sexes."
After lashing out against her Catwoman critics, Anne Hathaway has been opening up today at the junket for her new movie
One Day. This time she reveals the extensive comic book research she put into the role.
As for Anne's favorite Catwoman comic book, I believe she is referring to the story of the ninja. Selina Kyle prostitute and thief goes to a museum to steal a totem, and after she grabs the relic a ninja swoops in and takes it from her. She follows after the ninja and tracks him down to a warehouse that turns out to be a secret martial arts training facility. Once she is spotted spying on the ninja and his minions she is attacked. She shows tremendous grace and speed that's rewarded with a request to join the secret academy. Thus she learns from the ninja and becomes Catwoman.
The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Garly Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate.
