Catwoman and Bane will be villains in 'Dark Knight Rises'

Warner Bros has announced that Catwoman and Bane will be the villains in Christopher Nolan's next installment of The Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises.

We are also excited to learn that Anne Hathaway has been cast in the role of Catwoman (aka Selina Kyle), and that Tom Hardy has been cast as Bane.



There has been much debate over the past year as to what villains will return to challenge The Dark Knight, and it's good to finally have some tangible casting news.

Christian Bale will return to play the lead, opposite Anne Hathaway as Catwoman (Selina Kyle) and Tom Hardy as Bane.

Catwoman has been portrayed a few times as the love interest to Batman (most notably with Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns). Halle Berry also portrays her in a short lived stand alone film.

This will be a first appearance for Bane in a feature length motion picture, though in the canon, he has often proved a pivotal villain.  Bane once even "paralyzed [Wayne]by snapping his spine during one of their battles in the epic comic book storyling 'Batman: Knightfall'.  Bane will prove a formidable opponent to the dark vigilante.

What do you think about the casting choices? How about the choice of villain/love interest?
