\”which leaves the role of Talia Al-Ghul\”

Um, when was this confirmed? The other female lead Nolan is supposedly looking for could be for any number of characters…A new D.A., a new Gotham mayor, a detective, etc….Why do you assume it is for Talia?

And if Talia is even in TDKR, who says she is the villain and Selina the love interest? Based on their comic book histories, Talia could be a love interest and Selina/Catwoman a foe, just as likely as the other way around.

Really digg everything. Happier that it\’s Anne over Keira.

Well, Bane does bust out a whole bunch of people from Arkham in the comics including Scarecrow so it\’s a possibility he could show up for five seconds again.

yes, Kevin NAILED The Dark Knight Rises by speculating on the plot of a movie without actually knowing anything but citing \”previous reports.\”

LOLZ. Never seen someone on the internet do that before!

…Although probably a decent guess. I don\’t see the point in having someone named Selina Kyle if she is just going to be another lame \”Rachel\” character though…and if this is the \”final\” movie I don\’t see them \”hinting\” at her becoming Catwoman in a movie they don\’t intend to make.

and when is someone going to report on whether or not we get more bag-headed Cillian Murphey?!?!

Is she a woman or a love interest first? Love it when female characters are reduced to an object in such an insulting manner. Why isn\’t Christian bale her love interest?

Fucking hell. Kevin just nailed The Dark Knight rises. Selina is the love interest and Talia Al-Ghul is the villain. Probably no traditional Catwoman at all. That makes total sense. nice work.

Yes, Bane did use Venom and have superhuman strength at various points through the comics but he also swore off it later on. I think Sid\’s guess at how Nolan will approach the material is pretty spot on. Nolan is less interested in superhero powers than more grounded, realistic villains and I think he\’ll be more intrigued by Bruce Wayne finally being foiled by someone who has him figured out rather than some dude running around Gotham amped up on steroids.

I dunno where you get your info but Bane was a Caribbean prison bruiser hooked on super steroids who, like the count of monte cristo, crammed up on all types of subjects in the slammer, escapes and goes about taking over Gotham like he took over his prison – by toppling the main tough guy: Batman.

The Riddler is not a fanciful villain – commits crimes and leaves riddles just like in Se7en and all those Alex Cross books.

My guess is that they combine Bane with the Hugo Strange character/storyline (if it\’s even loosely based on the \”Prey\” storyline) and he comes in as a consultant to help Gotham PD hunt down Batman. He figures out Batman\’s identity and in a nod to Knightfall, physically break him. From there, it\’s up to Nolan (who I have utter faith in).

Great choice in villains and casting. Really looking forward to a Nolanized Bane.

I agree with him being a good choice for Nolan\’s Gotham, but hyper-intelligent? I think the most distinguishing aspect of the character (and what will probably be his gimmick in the movie) is that he has super strength and is bigger than Bronson because of some chemicals or something.

Sounds like a waste of Hardy\’s talent so far.

what\’s more interesting if and how the knightfall story arc will be an influence on the film…
