Meow! If Chris Nolan’s
Batman movies have been missing anything, it’s a strong female presence. Maggie Gyllenhaal was inoffensive in
The Dark Knight Returns and the less said about Katie Holmes in
Batman Begins, the better. Nolan’s going to correct that in
The Dark Knight Rises by putting the immensely talented
Anne Hathaway – she gets a mulligan for
Alice in Wonderland – in the role of Batman’s toughest female foe: Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. Also, previously cast
Inception star
Tom Hardy has been confirmed for the role of genius-level beefcake bad guy Bane.
