Bat-news Extra! Bruce Wayne's New Car, Catwoman Will Wear Goggles, Wayne Manor Set Footage

Batman-News.com shared this clip of Christian Bale and an unidentified actress filming at the 

Wayne Manor location (Wollaton Hall, England). As well as the new car photos below.

Not the new Batmobile...but the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador will be Bruce Wayne's new ride.

A Costume Design Insider tells HollywoodLife.com Anne Hathaway's Catwoman will be wearing goggles.

“Anne’s outfit is more tactical, like the comic book, than the previous Batman movies,” a source very close to the costume design tells us exclusively. “She will definitely be wearing the goggles and it’s going to be less sexy than Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman costumes. She’s going to look more like a robber.”
Adds the insider, “But fan boys shouldn’t be worried. This costume is going to be form-fitting enough to make Anne look smoking hot.”

Black Milk Clothing - Couture Leggings & Swimsuits beyond R2 & 3PO

Like many a Star Wars Fan, I discovered Black Milk Clothing when their R2-D2 & C-3PO swimsuits were a geeksite phenom. But there is so much more to love about this Australian designer specializing in small runs of high quality funky leggings and swimsuits. Plenty of "basics" like cool rocker chic black leggings, and 80's homage brights are offered. But the real stars are the unique patterned pieces -- leggings, swimsuits and dresses with edgy pop prints, or perfectly placed famous art, x-rays, and ironic photo images.

New collections sell out almost instantly on the retail website; and online success has recently enabled founder/designer J Lillis to move the business (and small staff) out of the garage and into a real studio space. Join the Black Milk Facebook page to be in on new collections and releases or follow the Too Many Tights Blog.
