    I'm not sure how much I like that. I wish Catwomen wasnt involved. It seems a little cheezy for this darker version of the franchise.

    Honestly Bane seems like a cheezier character for Nolan's Batman franchise.

    I dont really know Bane but I thought he was just a regular guy. Am I wrong? Isnt he the one that broke his back?

    Bane's the one that pumps a bunch of drugs into his system and becomes superhuman.

    I just quickly wiki'd Bane... am I right in saying he is the guy who basically 'ended' Bruce Wayne as Batman then, by breaking his back? Seems a bit odd/random of a character to do so, is all...

    I'm not sure about her. Not saying she isn't legit and all (cause I would tear dat UP!), but I don't know if she can be more vicious Pfeiffer. IMO, she needs to be a downright bitch.

    Notice how Warner Bros. says she's playing Selina Kyle and not Catwoman. I mean we all know she's Catwoman, but all they say is Selina Kyle. Maybe she'll become Catwoman at the end or whatever. I hope they have her as Bruce's lover.

    Anne Hathaway would make a totally awesome Joker. You know, with those weirdly exaggerated facial features and all.

    I'm in this camp as well. Originally she was suspected of being looked at for the part of Talia 'al Goul, but with Bane being in the film, I have to think that rather than her being Catwoman for the bulk of it that she would make the move nearer to the end.

    I like the casting choice and the fact that Nolan will try to repair the damage done to the character by the Halle Berry movie.

    And I'm not worried about Pfeiffer's Catwoman somehow complicating things for Hathaway. Some voiced the same concerns when Heath Ledger took over the Joker role from Nicholson. A good actor can make any role their own.

    I don't think we need worry about the cheesiness of either the Bane or Catwoman role. Nola's approach seems to be to "de-comic book" these characters, making them a little more believable in the real world. Given that, I wouldn't be surprised if there is no cat suit at all, or at least, one without cat ears.

    You might be onto something. In nearly all of the sources I've read, she is said to be cast as Selina Kyle, not Catwoman. Perhaps Hathaway will play Selina before she becomes Catwoman? Though I'm not sure Nolan could get away with not giving the audience at least a glimpse of her Catwoman persona.

    I guess it could be a "Catwoman Begins" where she only really slips into the catsuit in the third act.

    That would be my guess as well, much like how Harvey Dent didn't become Two-Face until about the third act or so of The Dark Knight.

    I think most of us have desperately tried to pretend that movie was never made...

    Anne Hathaway> Halle Berry

    Watch her in Havoc and "Love and other Drugs"

    She was good in Havoc. That was a decent indi movie.

    I still have mixed feelings on this but Nolan has a nack for making all actors good in their roles.

    I kind of wish they would have went with villans not used in the prior franchise like the first movie but I am sure Nolan will make this work. I think he knows he has high expectations to live up too.

    But if he didn't use villains from the old franchise, we wouldn't have had Two Face and Ledger's amazing performance as the Joker.

    I think he'll get the most out of this. After the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, I have confidence that Nolan knows what he's doing.
