Yes it’s true people, Anne Hathaway(Alice in Wonderland) will be playing the role of Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman to most people and Tom Hardy(Inception) has been announced to play as Bane! Continue reading for more!
So I guess we will be seeing Catwoman after all! But I won’t lie I was surprised to hear about Tom Brady’s role as Bane(I was starting to actually head towards Dr. Hugo Strange) but nonetheless the news makes me want to see the movie even more! Question is how will they connect Bane into the story with Catwoman? Maybe Talia al Ghul will show up as well since Bane did at one point work for her father Ra’s al Ghul, played by Liam Neeson(Master Qui-Gon Jinn!) in ‘Batman Begins’. Big question is if we see why Bane is the only man to have “Broken the Bat“..
Here’s what Christopher Nolan had to say about the announcement of the casting..
“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.”
“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.”
To be honest I can see Tom Hardy as Bane. I mean he did a pretty good job in ‘Bronson’ and he’s a great actor. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Until next issue.
The Dark Knight Rises is set to hit theaters July 20th, 2012.
