Yes, Tom Hardy will be playing
Bane, the villain who singlehandedly broke the Dark Knight's back in the "
Knightfall" storyline during the 90's. The character was also used in "Batman and Robin", but that outing didn't turn out so well for the character. Some of you may find this role casting as strange as I did, but I respect the director enough to know he may have something up his sleeve with the choice. We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out once production for the movie begins and photos and trailers show the action.
In other news, a female lead has finally been chosen, and
Anne Hathaway was given Nolan's blessing to play
Selina Kyle, who many around the world know better as
Catwoman. As one of primary characters in Batman and
Bruce Wayne's world, Catwoman is the one of the few characters who has been a villain and ally to the Dark Knight, as well as a lover who has earned his respect and admiration. As the person to play Ms. Kyle, Hathaway is a beautiful and smart actress for the park, and I think Nolan has left the role in good hands with her casting.
The Devil Wears Prada star ironically also worked with the late Heath Ledger in
Brokeback Mountain, who we all know played the most iconic representation of
The Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight, for which he won a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. If you want to get an idea of how she acts, she'll be appeared recently in
Love and Other Drugs alongside
Jake Gyllenhaal (another Brokeback co-star). Knowing Nolan's way of directing and picking actors, I have faith on what's going to come with TDKR, and this will be an exciting wait for the next Batman movie. For more info, visit the source article over at
