It's probably real. Nolan sucks with Bat villains. Ras and Scarecrow had so much potential =/
I disagree. Ras and Scarecrow were great. Liam Neeson was a great if unique choice for Ras and Cillian Murphy was the perfect choice for scarecrow. Nolan cast well again for Joker and Two Face. Eckhart was great and Ledger was sublime. Really if there was any weak casting it was Bale. Bale is perfectly serviceable as Batman and was quite good as Bruce Wayne but there was something inherently silly about him (the voice). Tom Hardy is going to make a great Bane but Hathaway has troubled me from the start. I don't think she can do it. What pisses me off is that Marion Cotillard was cast as a love interest when she would have been a fantastic catwoman. I don't think Hathaway is good enough and she looks ridiculous. Gary Oldman is right to be skeptical
I'm definitely not saying his casting choices were bad. Neeson had that distinguished look and sound about him that I really liked. I have always hated that Nolan went realistic with everything. An immortal Ras who actually showed some skill himself would have been preferred. Murphy was great AS Scarecrow but when looked ridiculous in a suit, tie and sack over his head. It's a small gripe but it ruined him for me. Silly I know haha. Two-Face I've always thought was a crap villain. He doesn't ever actually do anything. I can't buy the fact that a former DA with pistols can challenge some one like Bruce but I though Nolan nailed his character the best. It translated the best.
Heath, again, did a great job AS the Joker but I hated his Joker. He kills maybe 15 people that entire 5 hour movie. If you're an insurance company than yes, he's a frightening fellow. Not so much otherwise. If it were me, at the end, I would have had him blow up at least one of those boats anyways and then laugh his ass off. Just cause. Bale sucks though. With his grumbly voice and minor lisp.
I'm not liking Hardy as Bane so far but I'm waiting to see more of him before making a final judgment. They should have gotten a 6ft 8in body builder. No way is Hardy going to be big enough.
