Anne Hathaway Showed Up to Her Catwoman Audition as Harley Quinn

Anne Hathaway says that she went on her audition for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises prepared for a totally different DC Comics femme fatale: Harley Quinn. In a new interview with BBC Radio 1 (via Batman-News), Hathaway explains that she dressed in the style of Harley Quinn when she met with Nolan assuming that was the role he had in mind for her only to discover in the middle of it that she was up for Catwoman. “I came in and I had this lovely Vivian Westwood kind of beautiful-but-mad tailoring top with stripes going everywhere,” Hathaway recalled. “And I wore these flat Joker-ey looking shoes. And I was trying to give Chris these crazy little smiles.” This went on for some time before Nolan dropped a bombshell on her.

We’re slinky. And I hate my shirt. I love my shirt, but I hate it right now. We’re slinky.'” Given how notoriously secretive Nolan is about his projects, Hathaway can be forgiven for not knowing which character she was up for before she went in. And considering his previous Bat-film, The Dark Knight, featured Joker, perhaps Hathaway assumed the sequel would somehow bring in his shrink-turned-girlfriend Harley Quinn.

Hathaway also recently sent well wishes to the screen's next Catwoman, Zoe Kravitz, who will play Selina Kyle in next year's The Batman.
