Anne Hathaway is reportedly blowing everyone away on the set of the new Batman flick, intensely focusing on channeling her inner feline. We just can’t wait to see her kick butt!

Anne Hathaway certainly has big…paws to fill as she tackles the iconic role of Catwoman in the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, currently in production — yet on-set sources tell HollywoodLife.com she is doing amazing things with the role!

The much-anticipated film won’t hit theaters until July 20, 2012, yet Anne’s performance is already generating buzz! And sources confirm she is channeling her inner kitty perfectly, telling us, “Everything from the looks in her eyes, her head movements, her body–everything is so feline. The role is taking her to new places.”

After Februrary’s awkward Oscar co-hosting with James Franco, Anne ducked out of the spotlight and had to deal with a lot of people hating on her. However, that all could change as she fights (literally) to win back her fans.

The source even told us Anne has managed to surprise everyone, saying, “it’s really unbelievable how realistic she is in this role, I never expected it.”

She reportedly is in the best shape of her life — and judging from photos, we believe it! Can you wait to see Anne as Catwoman?
