Ladies of the Knight. Casting is officially underway for
The Dark Knight Rises, which is supposedly
Chris Nolan’s final Batman film. There are
reportedly two big female roles, a villain and a love interest, and a shortlist of names for the parts has emerged:
Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel,
Kate Mara, Charlotte Riley,
Gemma Arterton and possibly Naomi Watts. Maggie Gyllenhaal was all right in the last movie, but anyone is a step up from what Katie Holmes did in
Batman Begins.
