Great casting. Anne Hathaway is an underrated actress - she also pretty much looks like Selina in THE LONG HALLOWEEN, which has formed the basis of Nolan's Bat-movies.

Tom Hardy is a fantastic actor and has the chops for Bane. If they play Bane like he is in the comics and animated series - a genius with brains and brawn - this could be very interesting.

I understand that if I ever refer to Jurassic Park as anything less than "a masterpiece sixty-five million years in the making" I will be resigned to living out my days at the Zimmershrine.'

Ah yea, that guy from Inception! He was good

I wonder if catwoman will be a love interest for Bruce Wayne/Batman like in Batman Returns, or if they will come up with some other random love interest since they killed off maggie Gyllenhaal

There was a rumour Naomi Watts could play Vicky Vale. But that's not very likely now.

Another rumour was that Eva Green could show up as well. I'd like to see that. :)

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan

I think that for this film there's no need for a "random love interest" or even a "love interest" to start with. Specially since Rachel just died and Catwoman is the one that's supposed to understand Batman.

I guess Catwoman would be the main villain/heroine (at the same time) of the film, and Bane will be the secondary character that triggers the action out of the "Batman-Catwoman-escaping the authorities-people who wear a mask" dynamic.


I don't know the actress, but I don't like her smile.

And those previous rumors. Eva Green, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts? Bring it on!

It's worth mentioning Catwoman is not mentioned anywhere in the press release. Selina Kyle is, Catwoman isn't.

Take that as you will.

Maybe they don't want to directly give away the plot device of Selina Kyle becoming Catwoman, either in this film or yet another sequel. Don't forget that Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent in Batman.

Maybe the name "Catwoman" would bring up painful memories of Halle Berry's movie to those who have already forgotten Batman Returns.

My initial thought is that I don't like Anne Hathaway very much, and I can't at all see her filling that role. However, I thought the same thing about Heath Ledger. Nolan knows what he's doing.

Yeah...I don't think Nolan's Batman films are perfect by any means, but if there's one thing that both of them have nailed so far, it's the casting. And considering that the casting choices only got better from the first film to the second, the trend is a positive one. That's not to say we'll be seeing such an iconic performance in the third film, but I find it rather hard to believe that the casting choices will hurt the movie.

No true, she's been making movies for well over 10 years

I liked her in stuff like Havoc, Brokeback Mountain, Rachel Getting Married, etc.

Just because she was in a bunch of Princess Diaries, Ella Enchanted, Bride Wars type movies doesn't mean she doesn't have range

If they focused on the character the same way the focused on The Joker, she would end up being nicknamed "The Cat" instead. :) I've laways thoght Nolan wouldn't use the name on screen, but it's going to be tha name people refer to the character anyway.

Not well over, just 10 years. Her first movie was The Princess Diaries in 2001. That's very recent for an actress who's already an A-lister.

Rebel came out a month after his death. Something like that. Which kind of explains its cult status. It's a silly movie btw. Eden was much better.

Hathaway wasn't nearly my first choice for Selina Kyle, but I've learned after what happened with Ledger that Nolan knows what he's doing when it comes to casting. I'm just glad the character is in the film, honestly.

I would have been happy with any character Tom Hardy was playing, he's just that kind of actor (when he was first cast many thought he'd be Riddler). That said I'm very glad that Bane is in the picture and can have an opportunity to really shine on the big screen, considering he's been badly misused in the past.
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

Given Nolan's story telling so far, I imagine he'll be like the comic book character, rather cunning and intelligent.
