The Dark Knight Concept Art illuminates dark origins of Joker’s Bank Robbery Gang
While posting these rarely seen pieces of concept art from “The Dark Knight,” that were created by Rob Bliss (“Watchmen”), I realized there was a segment of Christopher Nolan’s recent Q&A session that was pertinent and that I hadn’t yet posted. To catch you up, Nolan was at the Water Reade Theater in New York’s Lincoln Center as a special guest of the Film Society, he discussed working with Heath Ledger and specifically the filming of the opening scene where we are first introduced to Batman’s nemesis. You can either watch the video below or just read the transcript, both are provided.

NBC: Anne Hathaway SNL Promo
Anne Hathaway gears up for her third round as host, with musical guest Rihanna on SNL this Saturday
Anne Hathaway hosts an all-new SNL with musical guest Rihanna.
Before playing Chris Nolan’s sadly uninspired angry and bitter version of Selina Kyle, Anne Hathaway sparkled with life and energy whenever she appeared as herself. Her promos for her third time hosting Saturday Night Live are strangely off-kilter and lacking in magic. We hope it returns soon, before she begins promoting her role as Fantine in Les Miserables.

Kim Kardashian Dons Sexy Burton-Style Catwoman Suit for Halloween
Can’t blame Kim Kardashian for wanting to dress as Catwoman for this year’s Batman-themed Halloween shindig when she went as Poison Ivy to a non-theme party last year. Also can’t fault her for rejecting Christopher Nolan’s angry, bitter version of Selina Kyle in favor of the Michelle Pfeifer costume, sporting claws instead of a gun, and an attitude more befitting the queen of Gotham’s Night.
Kim Kardashian flaunted her best assets in a skin-tight Catwoman PVC suit. The reality star joined boyfriend Kanye West and her family for a Halloween bash at LIV at Fountainebleau in Miami Beach on Wednesday, October 31 night.
Kim was into the character so much that she posed for the photographers with her claws on and her lips pouted. She arrived at the party in a gold Lamborghini with Kanye who was dressed as Batman. Kim’s version of Catwoman is more of the design worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992′s “Batman Returns” while Kanye kept his costume simple with a Batman mask and a balaclava to cover his face.
