Here she is – Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, the third and final Batman movie from writer/director Christopher Nolan. Warner Bros’ first official photo, which they made available on the movie’s website, shows Hathaway in a tight black outfit.

However, WB smartly decided to show only a small portion of her costume – and this could be what Hathaway wears as Selina rather than as Catwoman. It’s also possible that her Catwoman outfit will dramatically differ from past incarnations of the character (there are reports this Catwoman’s outfit is more practical and less sexy than has been seen before).

The Dark Knight Rises starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, and Hathaway will be released on July 20, 2012.
