Marriage

¶ You think Snow White or Cinderella were married happily ever after? I don't think so, they would have probably divorced eventually.

Seneca (BC4–AD65)

Seneca the Younger

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca; ca. 4 BC – AD 65) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and in one work humorist, of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He was tutor and later advisor to emperor Nero. While he was later forced to commit suicide for alleged complicity in the Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors, he may have been innocent. His father was Seneca the Elder and his elder brother was Gallio.

Selina Kyle (Dark Knight Rises, 2012)

Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle / Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Selina Kyle is a cat burglar described as "an associate" of Bane who establishes a relationship with Batman that "takes some of the somberness away from his character." Kyle is pursuing a "clean slate", a computer program rumoured to be able to erase a person's criminal history, when she crosses paths with Bruce Wayne. Hathaway auditioned not knowing what role she was being considered for, admitting that she had one character in mind, but only learned that the role was Selina Kyle after talking with Christopher Nolan for an hour. Hathaway described the role as being the most physically-demanding she had ever played, and confessed that while she thought of herself as being fit she had to redouble her efforts in the gym to keep up with the demands of the role. Hathaway trained extensively in martial arts for the role, and looked to Hedy Lamarr—who was the inspiration for the Catwoman character—in developing her performance.

[Catwoman kicks Stryver from behind]
Catwoman: I don't know, do they?

¶ Selina Kyle: You don't get to judge me just because you were born in the master bedroom of Wayne Manor
Bruce Wayne: [interrupting] Actually, I was born in the Regency Room.
