"I was trying to give Chris Nolan these crazy little smiles." Anne Hathaway has revealed she turned-up to her audition for Catwoman thinking she was going for the part of Harley Quinn.

The Oscar-winning actress played the role of the DC character in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, though admitted she wasn’t told what part she was going for beforehand. “I came in and I had this lovely Vivienne Westwood kind of beautiful-but-mad tailoring top with stripes going everywhere,” Hathaway told BBC Radio 1. “And I wore these flat Joker-ey looking shoes.

And I was trying to give [director] Chris [Nolan] these crazy little smiles. “About an hour into the meeting he said ‘Well, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this, but it’s Catwoman,'” she continued.
