When the announcement was made that Anne Hathaway will be playing Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises, fans everywhere wondered if that meant that Catwoman will be making an appearance in the film, or if only the character of Selina Kyle will be in it as a love interest and never actually becomes Catwoman. Hathaway seems to think she will be playing the famous feline in the film, based on a comment she made on Oprah Winfrey’s post-Oscar special. Hit the jump to watch the clip!

So this means that, either Hathaway is mistaken, or this is official confirmation that Catwoman will indeed be in the film. My money is on the latter. Of course, we still don’t know how much screen time Catwoman will have. After all, it could be that she only becomes Catwoman by the end of the film. However, my guess is that Catwoman will be a very prominent character in the film.

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters nationwide July 20, 2012. Stay tuned as more details come in!
