Catwoman scares me.

Courtesy of Superhero Hype! comes this first look at the costume Halle Berry will be wearing in the new Catwoman film that starts shooting this week. I've never been a fan of the character in the slightest, but this costume is just plain hideous. This movie sounds like it will be the worst super hero movie since Supergirl. At least that movie was aiming to be a b-grade cheese fest (it also has all kinds of really bizarre gender issues bubbling under the surface).

This costume doesn't even look good for what they're trying to do! By comparison, the neoprene suit Michelle Pfeiffer wore in Batman Returns is a stunning bit of design work. That one at least conveyed a real sexiness. This one looks like an S&M Halloween costume bought at Rite Aid that was mauled by a tiger. No offense to Ms. Berry, but she's going to look absolutely ridiculous in this getup. For her sake I really hope Sharon Stone has an even sillier costume in her role as the evil she-bitch bad person.
