When I saw the first released image of the costume from CATWOMAN I groaned, kinda laughed and then shook my head in disbelief. How could such an awful decision be made? And I don't mean the costume, I mean releasing such an obviously awful photo of an obviously awful costume to one of the largest publications (Time Magazine) in the US. The argument in defense of the costume was that it's early and it was just a test shot. Fine! Don't release the picture and get all the fans worked up into a frenzy. Boy what a way to build bad buzz early. I have seen some crazy looking things in my life but that Catwoman costume...that might take the cake. My favorite part was the comments by Halle Berry to accompany the shot. She said the costume was "very urban, very downtown." Isn't this the woman who was vocally upset by the look of Storm in the first X-MEN? Did she not look at herself in the mirror?
At this point, I just have to think that the studio is kidding with us. They're all sitting around the offices laughing their asses off going, "They actually think we'd greenlight a movie with this cosutme! HAHAHA!" I mean this is the studio that was smart enough to cast Christian Bale in BATMAN right? They couldn't possibly let this costume slide. Could they? I'm hoping it's some cruel joke and as some evidence, here are some more shots from the Vancouver set. The final shot is Berry in her Catwoman costume that strangely looks nothing like the one in Time. It's more Pfieffer-esque. So if you were just foolin with us WB...now's the time to fess up and come forward. Or at least release a better shot...
