The Dark Knight Rises - more casting announced

[charliepanayi]

Anne Hathaway is Catwoman, Tom Hardy is Bane in The Dark Knight Rises  | Film | Newswire | The A.V. Club

So what do people think of these two choices and the presence of Selina Kyle/Bane in the film? Both pretty good actors anyway, Tom Hardy was one of the best things about Inception.

I love Anne Hathaway and think she can totally pull this off. Tom Hardy I don't know at all, but whatever. I like all the casting for these movies except for their choices for Rachel (so glad she exploded) so I'm not worried.

Best of luck to them; they have a lot to live up to after the villains from the last movie.

I can't really form an opinion on these two in these roles just yet, I'm a bit skeptical though. At least Anne Hathaway is hot.

I like all the casting for these movies except for their choices for Rachel (so glad she exploded) so I'm not worried.

Me too, I disliked them both.

[charliepanayi]

To be fair Rachel's character was a bit of a cipher in both films, hard for even a good actor to make much of.

It's okay as long as they don't put Robin in this movie

[bipper]

He already said he did not want robin in any of his movies.

I think he is saving that character for his teen titans take.

I like Hathaway but I don't really feel like she's a good fit for Catwoman. Even when she's naked, Hathaway is never really sexy or sultry. She's just kinda doe-eyed and cute. I was hoping for Eva Green.

But I think Nolan has made some really bizarre choices for female leads in this franchise. Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal? Really?

[Shorty]

I think that Anne Hathaway has a shot. Nolan hasn't exactly been mediocre with his choice of actors for the past two films. (I liked Maggie as Rachel.) I think she can pull it off under his direction.

I don't know much about Tom Hardy. Apparently he's been in films I've seen, but I don't remember him at all.

I don;t know what y'all are talking about Rachel was the stuff in Batman Begins. I was disappointed when she was recasted. Her face fit Gotham perfectly.

Most importantly here I have to look this up for other places because the villain choices are disappointing to me. I was hoping the female would be Talia Al Ghul and Nolan mentioned that the movie was going to be inspired/based on the Prey graphic novel that features Hugo Strange as the villain.

[Shiny]

I was hoping for Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin. Tom Hardy as Bane sounds good. I don't know who the heck Bane is, but then again I never followed D.C. comics. Hate them. Marvel 4 lief.

[Del Murder]

Odd choice for Catwoman. Catwoman is supposed to be sexy and dangerous, and Hathaway isn't either. Should have got Michelle Pfeiffer. She could still pull it off.

[Depression Moon]

Bane was in Batman the animated series. Didn't you see that?

[Shiny]

I've only watched Batman Beyond. That was amazing. I would love for that to be made into a film adaptation, but that's as likely as the Cowboy Bebop movie as of right now.

[Shlup]

Shiny wtf I don't even...

[NeoCracker]

Batman Beyond was awesome, though it ended way before it's time, as you never got to see the return of Blight.
