Mid-August 2011
As it turned out, I only had a few days to recover from Scarlett. At the last minute, my editor sent me back out to cover the third and final comic book epic of 2012 β and the biggest of them all.
At this moment, "The Dark Knight Rises" was closing its shoot in Pittsburgh, and there was an open spot for me to cover it. Of course, they would hold off publishing this until several weeks after my "Avengers" piece came out, to avoid comic book overkill. That was more than what Hollywood was doing.
Still, considering what I had reaped from comic book productions, I couldn't complain about it. Even those who hadn't already had sex with Emma Stone and Scarlett Johansson wouldn't complain about it. Not about covering the most hyped comic book movie since the last "Dark Knight" β and not about seeing Anne Hathaway strut around as Catwoman either.
It took everything I had not to get my hopes up for this. Since part of the shoot involved Catwoman riding the Bat-pod β and since Anne's stunt double crashed it into an IMAX camera β there probably wouldn't be any time for sex. And since I had been dropped into the largely sexless, ultra realistic Batman world of Christopher Nolan, mindless fun was likely out of the question.
Yet despite that, Anne was still the perky, dedicated ball of sunshine she was known to be. That persona got her mocked as an Oscars co-host some months back. But since she was working with Nolan and his Bat-team instead of a zoned out James Franco β and since she was more bad-ass than she usually got to be β her boundless energy looked to be paying off this time.
I was exceedingly lucky to even be here, given how secretive this whole production was. So getting away with one last bit of superheroine sex was likely out of the question. It made sense, since every single comic book movie trilogy had ended with a whimper β so maybe the Batman trilogy wouldn't if my own did instead. That was a small price to pay for Batman to get a super ending β kind of.
With that, I actually focused on my job and geeking out on Batman. But maybe some naughty stuff got in my mind when I saw Anne on the Bat-pod. Yet with her bent over in that suit, riding a cool super vehicle, I couldn't be faulted for that.
Afterward, they loaded the Bat-pod into a garage and I waited a good, non-suspicious 15 minutes before heading inside. I took a few pictures for the sake of being a journalist, then indulged in less professional antics.
I struggled to climb onto the Bat-pod, remembering I had to lay on my stomach to make this work. After I got into a somewhat comfortable position, I laid there and savored where I was. This was where Batman made the Joker's 18-wheeler flip, where Batman raced to save Rachel Dawes while unknowingly sealing her fate and Harvey Dent's β and now it was where Anne Hathaway had laid down in her Catwoman costume.
Picturing her in the exact position I was laying in now β with a lot more sexy parts sticking out β made this a lot more vivid than Batman did. In fact, the Dark Knight wasn't the only thing rising right now β to coin the most unoriginal pun imaginable.
"Hello?"
Speaking of unoriginal twists, here was Anne Hathaway coming into the garage in her costume, just as I was getting hard over her.
I nearly fell off the Bat-pod, but since it was useless to fiee, I held onto the handles. It was just as well, since I needed to....stop rising before I could sit up in front of Anne. Yet having her here in front of me wouldn't help too much, so I looked away as discreetly as I could.
"Don't be shy," Anne actually teased β not knowing how unshy I really was. Hopefully not. "I hope we didn't make that too uncomfortable," she went on β hopefully not knowing the motorcycle wasn't the uncomfortable problem.
"No, it feels just fine," I assured. "But I was about to head out of here anyway," I explained as I came down from the Bat-pod.
"Funny we had the same idea," Anne pointed out. "Then again, you were only pretending to be Batman. I have to pretend to be Selina Kyle and practice riding this thing, so it doesn't crash into any more cameras. So other than that, great minds think alike," she commented as she climbed onto the Bat-pod.
"Well, if you want to practice lying there, I can't stop you," I mentioned. "But it looked like you were handling it pretty well already," I couldn't stop myself from adding.
"Oh, I could tell you approved," Anne responded. "I saw where you were looking when I was on here today. And I saw you moving your legs around to hide the evidence."
Okay, that was my cue to run and wait for the lawsuits and firings. Avoiding that from two actresses was pushing it enough, but stretching that luck out into a trilogy defied all logic. Yet I froze long enough for Anne to continue, "Not that I wasn't expecting that at some point. Of course, I was starting to have my doubts."
"Come again?" I asked, as the confusion overwhelmed my urge to run.
"I mean, this is one of my only big sexy poses here!" Anne complained. "Other than that, I can't be too suggestive or seductive or anything! I know the suit does that for me already, but that's it! I add more to it, it's too cartoony for Chris! Yet Tom's Bane mask is just overflowing with reality, so there you go!"
Hearing Anne talk like this surprised me for various reasons. I didn't even pay attention to her lying on the Bat-pod with her ass in the air β not as much as earlier, at least. Still, she made herself sit up again and took that distraction away.
"Don't get me wrong, I love kicking ass and getting the best lines," Anne clarified. "It just would have been nice to turn up the sexiness, like the other Selina's! But in this Batman, getting you hard by lying on here is the most I can do. And it's pretty much the only time I get to show the goods in broad daylight. So, lucky me."
