First Image of Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises

Warner Bros. has released the first photo of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman) in The Dark Knight Rises. Curiously the image was specifically named by the studio as Kyle and makes no reference to the Catwoman name – which many would have expected to see her promoted more as the villainous alter-ego rather than what is shown here. Directed by Christopher Nolan the movie also stars Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne/Batman) and Tom Hardy (Bane). Currently filming The Dark Knight Rises is slated for release on July 20th 2012.
