The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

[redbear]

...Distributor Warner Bros. had agreed with Nolan's argument that the sequel should resist the 3-D craze, the director told the Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex blog, which first reported the title.

that is some awesome news - not that Batman would need a gimmic like 3D...

Selections from Yahoo article:

And today, for the first time, after all the rumors have dissipated, we know who the villains in "The Dark Knight Rises" will be. Warner Bros just announced that Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle, and that Tom Hardy, of Nolan's "Inception," will play Bane. Christian Bale will be back as Batman, and Nolan has said this will be his final Batman film.

Hathaway was one of the many actresses rumored to be auditioning for the film last week (a group that reportedly included Jessica Biel and Keira Knightley), and apparently she won over Nolan. (That she's at the apex of her career, with her Oscar co-hosting duties next month, doesn't hurt either.) This is the first time we've learned that Selina Kyle -- who is more commonly known as "Catwoman" -- will be a part of the film. It is definitely worth noting that the Warner Bros. release never says the word "Catwoman." That could mean that Hathaway will be playing Kyle before she turns into Catwoman, or that they're trying to establish some distance from Halle Berry's widely panned performance in her "Catwoman" spinoff in 2004, or that the studio is trying to play a little coy with the announcement of an iconic Batman love-interest-cum-villain

It's not known whether the rest of the "Dark Knight" cast -- Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman -- will return for the film, but they are expected to.

(note: Catwoman art is fan art, but given the tone of the films it probably is similiar)

some people are crying foul over Anne's casting; saying that she is too wholesome for the role!

I'd like to prove them otherwise!!

she was naked and semi-naked and topless in:

Love and Other Drugs
Rachel Getting Married
Havoc
Brokeback Mountain

and don't forget these nippley photos of hers taken at a public event:

I also seem to remember a lot of folks weren't very happy with the news of Heath Ledger being cast as the Joker and we all know how that turned out. Have a little faith in Christopher Nolan, he does know what he's doing.

too bad we won't get the honor of Heath Ledger next time He did such an excellent job as the Joker!

Chris Nolan did a great job. What do people want? Another of the previous last Batman series of movies that sucked?

Looking forward to this and I know Nolan will impress yet again. But I still think Charlize Theron would have made a better Selina Kyle.

Thanks for sharing the poster, Haazhel_Thorn.

I think it looks fantastic and all the posters for the Christopher Nolan Batman movies have been aesthetically pleasing so far.
