I, for one, agree. It's not terrible, but I'm still not excited by anything I've seen of Selina/Catwoman. The costume is much sexier than I imagined it would be (her body looks amazing), but you're right, it still doesn't look convincing that she could be a bad-ass crimefighter. Her hair (I don't care what colour it is, it's the length and style) doesn't grab me and I think her lipstick looks silly.
I have faith that she'll be great in the final cut, but not yet. Incidentally, I have never wanted to see Catwoman in these films. I groaned aloud when Lucius said that thing about cats and knew I'd be disappointed in the end. I like the character; she's important to the Batman story arc, but I just don't see it working in a more 'realistic' film.
I get that feeling too. Even with Bane, it just doesn't feel like stuff that Nolan would use in his movies, since he likes to be realistic. I'm curious if it's all gonna work.

Why not?
Running around in stilettos. Fighting dangerous criminals with nothing but skill and speed. I think Batman's physical power enables his martial arts to be one of his greatest weapons. Without power I think realistically most people would be quickly dispatched by a criminal with no conscience.

And they say there's no such thing as a stupid opinion...

If you want that level of realism, Batman should have been killed a hundred times by now. And Two-Face's injury is ridiculously unrealistic, much more so than Catwoman.
I don't want to get into a debate about it. Simply, I have never been excited about the prospect of Catwoman in these films and I haven't seen anything to change my mind yet.
But, I do have faith that Nolan will make it all work and she'll be an exciting and compelling character in the final product. I think Anne can pull it off too, but I don't think I'll be convinced until I see the final film (or maybe a trailer).

Of course. I thought I originally put the word realistic in quotation marks, maybe not. I'm well aware that these films aren't realistic, but they do have a level of authenticity that sets them apart from every other superhero film and are getting plaudits from higher-brow reviewers and media accordingly.
