Although it has previously been rumored that Tom Hardy would be in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises no one quite knew who he would be playing. The word is out this morning that he is playing the character of Bane, how this will fit into the rest of the Nolan Batman universe remains to be seen. Bane is a character who get's strength from super steroids, and at one point broke Bruce Wayne's back (the story that made this character famous) putting Batman out of crime fighting for a while.
The other big news is that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selena Kyle. Savvy Batman fans will know that Selena Kyle is the alter ego of Catwoman. Entertainment Weekly noted that the press release from Warner brothers made no mention of this fact. I think this is all around great casting, Tom Hardy was recently in Nolan's film Inception.

BANE ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Batman update.... I've been wondering about it. Any word on the joker?
ReplyDeleteDerek, I recently read that Christopher Nolan said there will be no Joker in the new one. This is of course for the best.
