EDIT: Apparantly it's been confirmed by Warner Bros that Anne Hathaway will be playing Catwoman.

Not sure about Anne Hathaway too, I would've preferred Natalie Portman.
Bane might be ok though. But they should have gone the Hugo Strange route with Tom Hardy.

What i find interesting is that nowhere does it actually mention that Anne Hathaway is playing "Catwoman", it merely says "Selina Kyle", whereas with Christian Bale it says he's playing Bruce Wayne/Batman. What if it's just the character of Selina Kyle without her being Catwoman?
As well as that, it says that Tom Hardy's Bane will be a "new interpretation of the character" so i think we should get all those Batman & Robin/Batman Arkham Asylum images of a massive steroided-up beast out of our heads, it's going to be relatively grounded in reality like the previous two films.
I don't think I've ever read a batman comic with him in it .
who would you choose then ?
Would've probably preffered to see Nolan's take on the Penguin or Black Mask - who both seem like more natural fits into his gotham than Catwoman or Bane.
Nolan must be inspiried by the fact we have never seen a serious interpretation of Kyle/Catwoman. The character was camp in the series and the two films. But she is a prostitute and generally complex character in the material Nolan will like likely be taking inspiration from.
Similarly, Bane has only been seen as a one dimensional henchman. They are taking on a new version of a the character that can be portrayed an ultra tough, intelligent, drug addicted, criminal victim of society. The Man who Broke the Bat!
Perfect really for Nolan's grim vision of Gotham City.
The *real* (i.e. comics) version of Bane is so much better than the awful version from Schumacher's piss-poor B&R.
Bane was in Knightfall...
Bane grew up in a prison on a fictional Caribbean island. He's very strong, *very* intelligent, and was used as a test subject for a serum called "Venom", which can give him superhuman strength.
He escaped from the prison, and decided that he had to destroy Batman...he eventually broke Batman's back & took control of Gotham's underworld. He also deduced Batman's secret identity.
I just can't see the penguin working in Nolan's Batman , it's too cartoony .
Hathaway actually looks like a comic-book drawing with those huge eyes and mouth . Don't know if she can really act tho .
His ambition turns to destroying Batman. In a comic, he ends up going to Gotham and freeing criminals from Arkham Asylum. Bane ends up fighting Batman in the batcave, breaking his back and leaving Bruce Wayne paralyzed. Then Bane establishes himself as ruler of Gotham's criminal underworld.
Having seen her in quite a few serious roles, i can confirm that she's definitely a good actress ('Rachel Getting Married' being a very good example, infact i think she was Oscar nominated for that one too).
And Two-Face wasn't?
If they'd cast a good enough actor I don't think it would've been required to make the Penguin deformed.
Good choice of villains IMO it will be wierd to see them in the same film. Can't wait.
Agreed
Like others don't know the Bane villian.
Glad Bane is getting another shot after what Batman & Robin did to the character. I'm fascinated to see how Tom Hardy will play him.
I've been itching for Nolan to go there because I think he could really do that storyline justice, but the powers that be could decide it's simply too much for the mainstream auidence who don't know the comics? It could tie in nicely with the "Rises" part of the title, though - showing Batman's recovery, etc...
Selina Kyle is the love interest and Talia Al-Ghul/Bane will be the villains. Probably no traditional Catwoman at all. That makes total sense in Nolan's world.
I think that Nolan has proved himself with the massive box office takes of both TDK and Inception. Inception shows that the audiences stick with him even if the idea is an "out there" one. I'd imagine that at this stage WB are just standing back and letting him do whatever he wants.
