Anne Hathaway looks purr-fect as Catwoman in 'Dark Knight' pics

What is it about a masked woman in a tight leather outfit that makes people go crazy with excitement? Heck it's just Anne Hathaway. What's the big...oh...got it.

In anticipation of the July 18, 2012 release of the next installment of the Batman series, Warner Bros released some production stills (via EW) from the super hero flick. And they're purr-fect.

Hathaway looks great in her outfit as well as in an evening gown. And then there's Bane who is up to his old tricks on the stock market trading floor.

We're betting that Christian Bale as Batman will still be able to save the day.
