The Dark Knight Rises has yet to finish filming, but Warner Bros. did issue an official sneak peak before showings of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Catwoman's suit

Also, news of Catwoman's suit is spreading. Hollywood Life said they have the latest work on what outfit Hathaway will be donning as Catwoman. Anne's outfit is more tactical, like the comic book, than the previous Batman movies, a source told the website.

She will definitely be wearing the goggles and it's going to be less sexy than Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman costumes. She's going to look more like a robber... But fan boys shouldn't be worried. This costume is going to be form-fitting enough to make Anne look smoking hot.

This information has yet to be confirmed by Warner Brothers, or Hathaway.

Currently, downtown Pittsburgh is getting a glimpse at what the film actually has to offer, as streets are closed off for filming of Magnus Rex, (The Dark Knight Rises).
