" But with Catwoman, I can pretty much predict what role she is going to play in this film: the exact same role she played Batman Returns. "Sexy vigillante will prove to be a challenge for Batman,both as a rival AND a lover-  ooh la laaaaaa . Can Batman still use his iron clad judgment toprotect the streets of Gotham without his relationship with a criminal getting in the way?." Jesus christ WHO GIVES A SHIT? "

Please tell me this storyline has elements from Knightfall! That would be stupendous!!!

Anne Hathaway, f that, she looks like she's 17

I have officially lost faith in this movie. This sounds worse than Batman & Robin.

I'm actually really happy about these choices. Could have been SO MUCH WORSE.

i think anne hathaway is a good choice for the role, she's hot and talented, same goes for tom  hardy...except for the hot part. and there is no way this movie is going to be bad, not with nolan on the job.

" sweet Anne Hathaway as catwoman i'm in love, i hope they make bane good and not a joke.. "

Anne and Tom are awesome actors. Am sure they will pull off their roles wonderfully.

" @GERALD: But anyway I hear Catwoman won't appear this time  "

chris nolan said he would do new villains for the 3rd , i guess not ? 
 
i hope these at least one more villain !!!!

The one thing i noticed with Hathaway is she's was cast to play "Selina Kyle"...and i know you all know that that is Catwoman, but are we actually gonna see Catwoman in costume is my question?

Hopefully, they will do Bane justice this time.

That's perfect. Now it might actually be good.   Also lol @ you getting mad at my post. "

i like it, but i was really hoping for harley quinn

well... so far they've done an awesome job in casting for the other movies... so maybe this will turn out better than its played out so far in my mind >_>

I can't wait to watch this movie... Anne Hathaway I love you.. she's my Favorite actress

i wanted to see the Riddler or someone with wits like him come mind to mind with Bruce. But this line up will make for an interesting watch

Bane better be closer to the original comics Bane, where he already sounded like a character that could fit into Nolan's movies.
You know, smart, intelligent and not just relying on the venom to throw a punch...like in "that" awful movie...which had impact on how Bane appears in cartoons and games.

I despise Anne Hathaway, when I think sexy I don't really think "horse teeth" and no, she doesn't have a fantastic rack, she's done nude scenes, they're nothing to write home about frankly.

nice!   excellently

For everyone worried about the casting of actors/actresses in this movie, it's time to remember a few facts:
 
1.  Fact 1:  Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle.  It does not necessarily mean we will see Catwoman in this movie.
 
2.  Fact 2:  The movie releases in exactly 18 months from now.  That is more than enough time for Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy to get their physiques in shape.  Remember, Christian Bale wasn't as bulked up when cast for Batman and look at him now.
 
3.  Fact 3:  Upon reflection, I think Tom Hardy as Bane can work, and work well,  He can pull off the intelligence part of Bane and, as I wrote previously, with the proper workout program, he can pull off Bane.  Remember, when you're watching a short actor/actress on screen, are you really thinking about their height or are you watching/enjoying the movie ?
 
4.  Fact 4:  Christopher Nolan is a hands down, argument free genius as a director from both a revenue and critical acclaim viewpoint.  Don't believe me ?  Look at his past three movies:  Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Inception.  Those three movies have brought in a huge amount of revenue and acclaim.  The man knows what he's doing.  He's not Joel Schumacher.  It will be ok.  Relax.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I get what Nolan was thinking:  we cant get any more psychological/maniacal than Joker, so why try?  He will go with a more physical threat, who can also bring the diabolical psychology into effect, in Bane... makes sense...  But, C'MON!  BANE??????????  Selina Kyle was obviously forced upon him by the suits at Warner Bros...  Talia would've been PERFECT.  Great book-end...  Bane & Catwoman just isn't going to cut it...  I'm disapointed...  :(

Pretty cool. Just hope they don't turn Bane into a mindless brute again. Not sure what to make of Hathaway as CW, but I'll reserve my judgment for when there actually is something to judge.

Love Hathaway so glad to see her give it a go, though I think she would have made a better Talia. 

YASSS to Tom Hardy!!! <3 ...meh @ Anne. I almost would have preferred Marion Cotillard, but I'm sure Anne will do fine.

I'm hoping that Catwoman doesn't have any romantic scenes with Batman in this one; it would be more interesting to establish the sometimes allies/oftentimes enemies dynamic that the two have. I'm also hoping that they combine the Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt "Catwoman" costumes with the modern Catwoman costume. Or better yet, establish her as an anti-hero with multiple costume changes in the same way Batman has multiple costumes.

I'm not particularly thrilled about rehashing Bane and Catwoman, but I have a great deal of faith in Nolan's work. I'd like to see him go back to the "Year One" version of Selina Kyle, the jaded prostitute turned thief, rather then see her as a more innocent "side-kick" type.

I'm all for it!! 
 
I hope Bane has a bigger role...like the animated series.

" I despise Anne Hathaway, when I think sexy I don't really think "horse teeth" and no, she doesn't have a fantastic rack, she's done nude scenes, they're nothing to write home about frankly. "

Come on, Really Ann Hathaway? why is Catwoman and Bane in this movie  do someone new like in Batman Begins  we want Strange or Killer Croc. shit do  Zsasz

  Shannyn Sossamon woulda been better imo. I know she wasn't even in the talks but still...

Nomnomnomnomnom. 
 
I am happy. My boyfriend's not because HE'S NOT MEXICAN! HE'S NOT MEXICAN! 
 
Yeah, well nobody said Alfred should blow the bloody doors off, either.

Bane? I did not see that coming.

  Casting Hathaway in the role of Catwoman for me is a cross between two well known actresses that had the roll before her, Julie Newmar and Lee Meriwether. There seem to be similar likeness to both actress which is more so then the images of Selina Kyle in the comics for me.  
 
My choice would have been the actress from V the mini series, but then I'm not a casting director so I'll respect the choice given. Bane on the other hand I'm going to really enjoy in TDKR just for the fact I know he won't be grunting and moaning like in Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin. 

i just hope there will be a crap load of features on the DVD this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we deserve a commentary on the DVD too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I am an unregistered voter!!!
