Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises

Well hello there, Ms. Selina Kyle! Remember this day, as it's not only the day that Rise of the Planet of the Apes finally lands in theaters, but it's the day we're first introduced to Christopher Nolan's Catwoman from/in The Dark Knight Rises. Thanks to an early tip from SlashFilm, the first official photo of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, and not a crappy set photo, an official studio photo, is now available for our viewing pleasure via the official website. She's most likely still only Selina in this photo, and she's riding a familiar vehicle, but it's still very exciting to get our first look at one of the most anticipated characters yet.

The Dark Knight Rises finishes the Batman saga begun by Christopher Nolan in 2005 with Batman Begins.

The Dark Knight Rises is once again directed by Oscar nominated British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, of Following, Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight and Inception previously.

Warner Bros is bringing The Dark Knight Rises to regular and IMAX theaters everywhere July 20th, 2012 next summer. In Nolan We Trust!
