Anne Hathaway is a Hollywood actress who is popular for her princess like films such as Ella Enchanted, Princess Diaries 2 etc.
Hathaway has a great set of skills which she has mastered with time. But this talented actor had to face a backlash for her role in the movie Batman the dark knight rises.
A leading cause of misogyny in fanboy culture is that many women comic book characters are created for the male gaze and are immediately sexualized by fanboys, as Entity Magazine points out. Many fanboys, as a result, felt entitled to how Catwoman should have been portrayed in The Dark Knight Rises because she was their fantasy and Hathaway didn’t fit into it.
The underlying reasons for the hate are due to people perceiving Hathaway as “trying too hard” or “being cringe” simply based on her interviews. Of course, many actresses endure this type of hate, especially when they cross over into comic book or science fiction films.
Despite the spin on her name, Hathaway doesn’t hit ‘return to sender’ when she receives hate. While she could bite back, Hathaway delivered a performance in The Dark Knight Rises that speaks to the multitude of women comic book fans.
