Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle, the slinky and savage outlaw who is known as Catwoman, in next year’s Christopher Nolan film “The Dark Knight Rises,” according to a press release from Warner Bros.

Tom Hardy, already announced as a cast member, will play Bane, the chemically created brute who first appeared in the comics in 1993 — making him a far “younger” villain for Nolan’s Batman mega-franchise, which has most prominently featured the Joker (who first appeared in 1940) , Two-Face (1942), Ras Al-Ghul (1971) and the Scarecrow (1941).

Catwoman — then just called “The Cat” – first appeared in 1940 as the creation of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, and she has brought leather-clad sexual tension to the Batman adventures both on the page and beyond; she was portrayed by Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt on the 1960s television series starring Adam West as the caped crusader (and by Lee Meriwether in 1966 film starring West) while Michelle Pfeiffer memorably cracked the whip in the role opposite of the masked Michael Keaton in Tim Burton’s 1992 film “Batman Returns.” In 2004, Halle Berry starred in the character’s own solo film, “Catwoman,” but the film became an infamous flop and was jeered by comic-book fans after director Pitof jettisoned years of comic-book lore and character touchstones.

Nolan, in the Warner press release, said: “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.” Of Hardy, who worked with Nolan on “Inception,” the director said: “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.”

Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with his brother, Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Nolan and David S. Goyer. Nolan will also produce the film with his wife and longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven. “The Dark Knight Rises” hits theaters on July 20, 2012.

Why?

 

[Kane52630]

Why?

Same reason why the dinosaurs died out.

 

[kvz5]

I can't wait for Anne to start talking about Catwoman.

Same here

I can't wait for Anne to start talking about Catwoman.

If they ever release it, which i doubt.

 

[elgato]

Release what?

 

[Brother Jack]

Release what?

The screen test.

 

[Bat-Mite]

I can't wait for Anne to start talking about Catwoman.

They've got her locked away in a pet taxi somewhere with a ball of yarn to keep her from talking/prepare her for her role. They'll let her out every now and then for things like the Oscars, but that's it!

 

[Morg]

Why?

due to some legal problems.

 

[Yurka]

I heard she was hosting SNL this week but I cant find anything to confirm that, if she is, I'm pretty sure it will be at least mentioned. Some of the writers are huge comic-nerds.

I heard it was a giant ball of yarn that would keep her occupied for weeks at a time.

I watch SNL regularly and I believe there's no new episode until March so if she's the guest this Saturday then it must be a repeat. It's worth the watch though because that's where she did the skit imitating Katie Holmes. t:

Yea I think it was last week during the whole "this person will be hosting on this date with this musical guest" on SNL, that said she was next week, but it wasnt Florence and the machine or whoever as musical guest this time, but they were with her last time. I doubt its new with her hosting the Oscars on Sunday.

 

[Boom]

Incredible .

She just hosted a few months ago. She's hosting THE OSCARS this weekend though I'm sure we'll get her first thoughts on playing Selina Kyle.

Edit: SNL is a re-run this weekend. Anne Hathaway is the host, it's from last November.

 

[mclay18]

Now, if there was any doubt that Hathaway was going to play Kyle and not Catwoman, HeroComplex pretty much cleared it. Isn't Geoff Boucher on good terms with Nolan? Granted, Nolan wouldn't confirm or deny Catwoman -- but WB isn't disputing it either.

 

[Bat-Mite]

I find it silly that people were ever questioning the matter in the first place.
