3. Brought A Softer, Human Side To The Movie
Let's be frank, this movie, though "real", lacked any sort of human flair. It was ripe with tear-jerking moments and fancy monologues, but no flair. Not the flair Bane had, the flair that comes with mistakes and selfishness. Every character was practically a superhero or a supervillain just to be a superhero or supervillain - black and white. Catwoman was the grey that every movie needs, and a shifting grey on top of that. The scenes showing her as a human: unmasked, vulnerable, and oddly sweet, leaned towards a white. This sweetness was uncharacteristic of any femme fatale, but it brought forth every trait a likable female character needs - a soft side, a motherly side, and a protective side. Then we lace this sweetness with a tint of black as she dons her suit and puts on her goggles worthy of a design award. Her attitude even changes to something more classic Catwoman-like: strong, yet witty. She doesn't love humankind like a true superhero, she just wants to live. Don't we all? We are human after all and we can certainly sympathize with the shifts between good and evil.
