After waiting for years for some meaningful Batman 3 news, Warner Bros. finally announced today who will show up in the film as the villains. Anne Hathaway will be playing Catwoman and Tom Hardy (the English dude from Inception - he's the guy who says "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling") will be playing the steroid fueled Bane. I for one couldn't be happier about this news. I think Hathaway is a fantastic actress and could bring a lot to the role, not to mention, she's definitely sexy enough to play the feline seductress. I wonder what the suit will look like, though. As long as we get some adequate cleavage exposure I'll be perfectly satisfied.
As for Hardy as Bane...awesome. I kind of feel Bane's gotten a bad rap from people whose only exposure to him has been from 1997's Batman and Robin, where he was shown as a Hulk-like monster who could barely form coherent sentences. The Bane in the comics, however, was a smart, calculating mercenary. Yes, he took steroids and became super-strong, but not Hulk strong. I for one am glad they've chosen Bane, out of all of the remaining villains in the Batman universe, he's one of the few who could fit into the realistic universe Nolan and Co. have created.
With two huge story lines in the same film, some have said that Nolan's juggling too much. I'm not worried, though. Nolan's proven that he knows what he's doing, and I have nothing but confidence for this film. July can't get here soon enough.
