The character of Catwoman has been brought to life by a number of actresses, but for this month's "The Dark Knight Rises," director Christopher Nolan found the perfect person to fill Selina Kyle's catsuit in Anne Hathaway.
Nolan told that the character "is the most alive presence in the movie in the beginning," and she also helps draw Bruce Wayne (Batman) out of his shell. "She's a breath of fresh air...and Anne Hathaway just nails the character, delightfully."
She did have to put in hard work to portray Catwoman, Hathaway tells us, and had to dedicate herself to getting stronger.
"You can't have little spaghetti arms when you're doing that," Hathaway, 29, joked. "A huge part of the character was her strength and you can't fake that, you have to actually become strong. And it was great to have the time to develop that strength and to also have the support that I needed. I've never played a character that was so dependent on that before."
Hathaway said she spent about 10 months preparing for the part and shooting the film, and she added that she surprised herself with her focus.
"I'd never done anything like that, nor believed that I could," Hathaway said. "I've never really been that person. And it was pretty life-changing realizing that I could commit to something that was healthy for that long. I did a lot of growing over the course of this film."
Fans of the superhero series will get to soon decide for themselves if Hathaway was the right choice when the movie bows July 20.

We know Kristen Wiig's been having a fantastic year professionally (even though we were sad to see her leave "Saturday Night Live"), but her life off-camera is in a great place as well, the 38-year-old tells Marie Claire magazine in its August issue.
The "Bridesmaids" co-writer and star is said to be dating The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, and she seems to allude to their relationship in the interview.
"I will say that I'm happier than I've ever been, and I feel very lucky right now." When asked why, she says, "Where I am now. Who he is? Those are the two big ones."
A demure admission for sure, but Wiig tells Marie Claire, "I am shyer than most people think."
Salma Hayek plays a ruthless drug cartel queen in Oliver Stone's "Savages," and the director says that she brought some of that intensity to the set of the film as well.
"This woman gets what she wants. She knows what she wants," Stone said of Hayek during a press conference in Mexico City. "She told everybody on the set, 'I want a blue dress. I want it to be pinned this way. I'm not going to go on the set unless my dress is right.' She was tough. And sometimes we had to wait in the sun."
Hayek normally brings her daughter, Valentina, on to film sets, but she didn't for "Savages."
"This was the only movie that she was not on the set,” Hayek told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show." Based on Don Winslow's novel of the same name, "Savages" is filled with violence and sex, things not necessarily appropriate for a 4-year-old like Valentina.
“I usually bring her on the set and she always likes to sit right next to the monitor and she bosses everyone around," Hayek joked.
Not that Valentina's behavior would have been tolerated. Stone runs a tight ship, as co-star Blake Lively told David Letterman. The actress bought the crew "I Survived Oliver Stone" t-shirts when the shoot ended, because "they needed something nice after working with him for that long."

Sonali Bendre joins the cast of an eagerly anticipated sequel, releasing in 2013: Balaji Motion Pictures' Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai...Again.
In what is being seen by some as a casting coup, director Milan Luthria already has Akshay Kumar and Imran Khan on board as both represent diverse sensibilities. He says, "I am thrilled to add another twist to the casting. Sonali is a gorgeous looker, a competent actor and suits the role to the T. My crew and I are super excited to offer her this film."
He adds, "Sonali's character is called Mumtaz. The name spells enigma and is very crucial to the plot of the film. The character doesn't fit into the usual mould of a mother or a sister or bhabhi but has an identity of its own. That is what makes it special. And that's why Sonali agreed to be a part of the film."
The director said that they were desperately looking for a heroine to play Mumtaz but failed to come up with suitable names. "Eventually, Sonali's name cropped up. We feel she's the right person to play this sensitive role."
Sonali reveals, "Well, the only thing I can say is that it is a spin-off on the Emraan Hashmi-Prachi Desai relationship in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and shows what it has grown into. I can't reveal anything beyond this. The role is very interesting. Moreover, it's a massive franchise."
The actress adds, "I have worked with Milan earlier in Chori Chori (2003) and share a comfort level with him. For me, it is very important that I sync well with the people I am working with. Besides, Milan, Shobhaji and Ekta are family to me. Also, the film is going to be shot in Mumbai and that really works for me as I won't be away from my family."
Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai... Again goes on floors in August. The film will be shot in Mumbai and Muscat.
