Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale during the filming of The Dark Knight Rises

Christopher Nolan on Hathaway, and how she embodies his vision of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, now out on video: “The thing that clicked for me was trying to build a credible character from the ground up, a classic femme fatale and grifter,” he says. “Anne can present a psychologically real characterization. And she can fill a room with her energy and presence. I told her that the character wears a lot of armor, in a sense, and has a strong way of dealing with the world, and that has to come from a defensive position.”
