Okay, I admit. I haven’t seen Catwoman. I know that for proper purposes of legitimacy, people are supposed to see a thing before they talk about how bad it is, but come on. This movie came out before I started college and ever knew that I would ever have to back up my opinions on movies for more than my own friends, let alone the entire internet. And now? Now you couldn’t pay me to watch Catwoman. I could be watching The Dark Knight Rises instead.

So that’s how I didn’t know that the movie contained this absolutely hilarious train wreck of a scene. Which is the weirder part? Grown adults apparently purposefully turning a game of one-on-one in to thinly veiled physical sexual innuendo in full view of children? That a child would ask two grown adults to play basketball for him instead of with him? Thank you, MTV Movies and Reddit, for making sure that I knew about this.

It’s not nearly as dynamic or adventurous as The Walking Dead Cosplay Piano video but in episode two, we do get to see what it would be like if Catwoman was a talented pianist and hear Danny Elfman’s lovely Batman score, and that’s entertaining enough for me.

If this is the definition of Crazy Cat Lady, count me in. In case you need a primer, DeviantArtist caanantheartboy hooks you up:

Behind the couch: Krazy Kat, Azrael (Smurfs), Bill the Cat, Felix, MAD Cat (with a Hello Kitty doll), Top Cat and Snowball II. On (and above) the couch: Streaky (who is orange, yes. My bad!) Mooch (Mutts), Stimpy, Mr Kat (Kid vs Kat), Sylvester, Puss in Boots, Figaro. The rest: Tom, Simon’s Cat, Nermal, Garfield, Penelope, O’Malley, Marie (I wasn’t gonna do ALL the Aristocats!), Horse (Footrot Flats), the Cheshire Cat, and Bucky and Scratchy behind Batman. The posters are That Darn Cat and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. (I also could have done The Cat from Outer Space, Le Chat Noir, and many others. Space restrictions!) The framed ‘cat man’ is Blacksad. The record is of course Josie and the Pussycats and the book, which has become illegible from the scanning, is Jennie, by Paul Gallico. (I believe it may be called ‘The Abandoned’ in the US?) It’s about a girl who turns in to a cat. My dad read it to me and my brother when we were kids.

To be fair, it seems MTV has already decided Catwoman is a hero, they’re just looking for confirmation from you. But she does have competition. You can vote for who will go home with the Best Hero Award at the MTV Movie Awards here. We’d love to see Selina win because we know she’s a good egg but looks like either Bilbo or Snow White already have it in the bag.

Did you watch the Oscars last night? Here’s our take on the 7 geekiest moments of the show.

Because we’ve got a lot of it. I’m amazed a the number of subtle iterations her shoes went through, for a completely implausible costume element that was used for its insufficient-excuse-of-a-function but once in the entire film. I loved your Catwoman, Mr. Nolan, but if having knives on your feet were at all an advantage that outweighed the downsides of wearing stiletto heels, maybe Batman should have been wearing them too?

Anne Hathaway’s made no secret that she really wanted the role of Selina Kyle went she went for it in the casting process for The Dark Knight Rises. It should surprise no one that she’d be 100% down for reprising her role as the character in some form. (Not that any such thing appears to be on the horizon, or is even likely to be on the horizon.)

But the emotion with which she regards the character is pretty endearing:

The Dark Knight Rises is coming out on DVD and Blu-ray in just over a week, and for those who can’t wait to tackle the abundance of special features, here’s a short behind-the-scenes featurette on Anne Hathaway‘s Selina Kyle—specifically the character’s fighting technique and the actress’ commitment to kicking butt as the Once and Future Catwoman.

There’s nothing on how she managed to fight (or walk, even) in those crazy heels. But I expect that’s a skill that can’t be taught.

Bear with us, non-American readers: Thanksgiving is tomorrow, at least in the U.S., and it’s made us at The Mary Sue contemplate the variety of things from this year we’re thankful for.

From comics to movies to cosplay and other con-related fun, here’s just a sample of what has made us happy to be geeks in 2012. Getting a bit sappy for a moment, this list is dedicated to the thing we’re most thankful for: Our readers. Well, second most thankful. There’s Batman, after all.
