Anne Hathaway Is Catwoman
Tom Hardy is the Bane of Batman's life
19 January 2011 | Source: The LA Times
Well, that settles that, then. Warner Bros. has just announced that Anne Hathaway has won the race to star in The Dark Knight Rises... as Selina Kyle. Also known as Catwoman. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story," said director Christopher Nolan in a press release.
And, in the same release, WB and Christopher Nolan confirmed that the role Tom Hardy will play in the eagerly-awaited Batman threequel is Bane, the muscle-bound super-steroidal freak who, in the comics, once broke Batman's back. “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.”
This represents a flood of information for a Christopher Nolan Bat-movie, and gives us plenty to chew on. We can't wait to see Nolan's take on the twisted relationship between Batman and the capricious Cat - and Hathaway certainly has the chops, and the curves, to fill out the catsuit. Intriguingly, Catwoman isn't mentioned in the WB press release, but with Nolan openly admitting that this is the end of his Bat-tale, it's hard to imagine that Kyle won't become Catwoman at some point in the film.
Still, heck of a year for Hathaway, what with this and her gig hosting the Oscars...
Bane is more interesting. Once again, Nolan is going down the multiple villains route - as he did with Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul in Batman Begins, and The Joker and Two-Face in The Dark Knight. But we're intrigued by what he and the magnificent Hardy will bring to the role of Bane, a character who could be laughable in the wrong hands (see Batman & Robin for proof). Will this Bane be more cerebral than the grunting hulk of Schumacherville? Or will he represent the first very real physical threat to Christian Bale's Bat in the trilogy?
Update: As some have pointed out, Bane in the comics is far from a grunting hulk, but a schemer who just happens to have more muscles than your average issue of Men's Health. So, when it comes to battling The Bat, he could have the perfect combination of brains and brawn...
So, what do you think? Happy with these choices? Has the Caped Crusader got enough on his plate with Catwoman and Bane to contend with, or does Nolan have another villainous surprise up his sleeve?
The Dark Knight Rises is out on July 20, 2012.

Damn, I'm a minute too late. Just about to make this.
I'm a fan of Tom Hardy and Bane. Havnt always liked Catwoman as a character, I hope they make it good. -
I hope these aint the main villains though. I was hoping for R'as to return.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I wanted Jessica Biel. -

I'm shorry!
Yeah, Tom Hardy is a great actor. Surprised about Bane but apparently he was supposed to be smart in the comics so we'll have to see how he turns out. Dunno about Catwoman though. Anne Hathaway might surprise, you never know -
I don't want catwoman in the film they'll waste alot of the movie on romance smfh

Yeah, he is extremely intelligent and calculating. He is also a latino though.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I wanted Jessica Biel.
Anne is by far the better actress. -
While shes a very good actress I dont think shes hot /attractive enough to play catwoman imo...
-
eh at catwoman....... not sure i like only time will tell...

I think it will be hard for Nolan to ? up a film. -

You're right. But, I wouldn't mind seeing her in the skin tight outfits though. -
Just remember all the flack Christopher Nolan got when he cast Heath Ledger as The Joker and look at how that turned out. In Nolan we trust.
On another note, thank ? he didn't choose Ikea Knightley -

Word, son.

? .
Big ass picture. -
I'm kind of interested in seeing how this movie is going to turn out now. I'm kind of surprised Nolan went with Bane and I'm not as crazy about Hathaway as Catwoman either Jessica Biel probably could make so more of the role. I hope this movie get the character of Bane right this time b/c the last batman film made him look like a muscle bound ? idiot and he's very far from it. I do believe that Nolan will probably introduce Bane into the story like he did with The Joker in the last movie instead of having the steroids & venom tube in the mask.

christ i hope we don't have to sit through yet another cinematic interpretation of Catwoman's origin.
That ? is so boring -
thats a big ass picture
-
That is definitely a big ass picture
-
Not even close to being as hot as Michelle Phieffer. But lets see what happens.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They should slap some makeup on her and bring her back. -
Itl be nice to see if she can play something legitimately sexy for a change....
-
Anne is by far the better actress.
i want to see jessica in that outfit. she is thicker than anne. -
Wassup with y'all ? judging ? before even peeping a trailer?
-
She's got some saggy ? .
-
She's a pretty good actress....and she really doesn't look that bad..I'm glad she got the role and not Biel
-
Shoulda been Natalie Portman as Catwoman.
And is anyone concerned about about how Tom Hardy neither being Cuban nor jacked to play Bane?
