MAJOR turn off for me, but I thought she filled out the suit nicely.

...speaking of skinny figure, Michelle Pfeiffer isn't exactly chubby either

Age is only a quantitative number that has nothing to do with quality. Have you seen her at age 51? She looks more fit, and more gorgeous than 90% of all females that are in their 20s.
she still would have had a better figure and personality as Catwoman.

I truely believe that in 20 years when we look back at TDKR, her role will not be remembered. It's going to be Bane and Batman. Michael Cane would be a close third for me. He did a tremendous job as well, and he's really the only character that I would say is a "hands down" victory over the Burton films.

yep, and the character could be called Catmilf

Sorry, it didn't...but it did open up a slot for me and we have been happy ever since.

However, Dame Judi's "M" isn't about sexual dynamism.

...I agree with gwsat, Michelle Pfeiffer is simply, and obviously too "old" for Catwoman, even if she's still as gorgeous as ever. I have a soft spot for Pfeiffer in Batman Returns, but only because it's her; Anne Hathaway was perfect in TDKR.

Pfeiffer is 54 years old, nearly old enough to be Bale's mother. As beautiful and sophisticated as she is, I think casting Pfeiffer as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises would have been a spectacular mistake. I liked the sexual tension between Batman and Catwoman but Pfeiffer would have been unable to bring her own sex appeal to bear here.

She could, but we'd have to call her "cougar" instead of cat....

True.

LOL, I love that frickin' movie.

Just saw this one and was more impressed by it than I thought I'd be. Post hype, TDK didn't hold up well for me, so I had conservative expectations going in to this one. I found the story more compelling and linear from beginning to end than TDK, and the ending impressed me in the same way that Nolan did with the climax/resolution of Inception. Faults, yes, but I was highly entertained nonetheless. An easy BD purchase for me.

The movie also felt very kiddie. No one getting shot, no vile images(Joker) not much violence.

This movie couldve been so much better with Riddler who couldve played a jigsaw type of role.
