Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, Tom Hardy as Bane, in "The Dark Knight Rises"

Hmm...good to see Anne Hathaway taking on a unique role.  Playing Catwoman (or perhaps the pre-Catwoman Selina Kyle) is certainly rather different from any role I'm aware she's played.

I don't know much about Tom Hardy, although I do own the comic book where Bane "breaks" Batman.  I remember someone online saying that they thought the next logical story in the Nolan Batman movies was "Knightfall"--Bane's defeat of Batman.  Plus Bane would be an interesting character--he's physically powerful enough to take on Batman, but he's also extremely intelligent.  He deliberately tired Batman out by breaking all the criminals out of Arkham before he attacked, after all.
