Breaking (the Bat) News!

The internet is all a buzz and I am all a tingle at the latest Batman: The Dark Knight Rises news.

Warner Bros. has confirmed Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman) and Tom Hardy has been confirmed as BANE!

NERDGASM!

Okay, I saw Catwoman coming a mile away, and I am ambivalent about Hathaway, having never seen her in anything.


However I DID NOT see Bane coming and would have probably put him way down at the bottom of any list as a contender. Wow!

I've love Bane in comic book form since his first appearance in Vengeance of Bane, and really loved his portrayal in Batman: The Animated Series. The idea of a Nolanverse Bane has me feeling all tingly inside.

And if the new movie can touch upon the Batman: Venom story arc, that'd be superb!  Venom is one of the best Batman stories in modern times. If you haven't read it, you should do so now!

  3. Cool news. We might actually get a chance to see Bane done right this time, and redeem him after that horrible Batman and Robin movie!
