Members Adam Posted December 17, 2010 Members Share Posted December 17, 2010 Talia Al-Guhl, interesting. Totally could see Rachel Weisz in that role. This is still more than a year and a half away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 19, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2011 Once again Nolan goes off the map! Anne is an interesting choice but I like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 I have strong doubts this will work. Hathaway isn't sexy in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 Word. Selina Kyle is supposed to be sexy, Anne Hathaway is very "girl next door" and isn't in the slightest conventionally beautiful (which this role requires).

Administrator Toups Posted January 19, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2011 I thought Anne was pretty hot in Princess Diaries. I like Hardy but Bane is not a tier 1 villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 Interesting choice in Anne.... I am kind of also disappointed the other villain will be Bane.... oh well. I trust Nolan, he has failed to ever let me down. I love Anne Hathaway and think she is a very capable actress. Lets hope this surprising choice for Catwoman turns out the same way Heath Ledger as The Joker turned out Anything half as good as that will be a success in my books.

Members PhoenixRising05 Posted January 19, 2011 Members Share Posted January 19, 2011 Bane is not a tier 1 villain?! HE BROKE BATMAN'S BACK!!! The Batman and Robin version was a joke. It's great that Bane will get the treatment he deserves. Hardy is great and he had a very Bane-like look when he was in "Bronson" so I look forward to this. I love that Nolan takes on different villains and not only the same ones the first franchise did. And in what universe is Anne not hot? Did anyone see her in Get Smart? She was sexy as all hell and played a very edgy role. Take a look at these pics: Girl is HOTTER than hell and can act, which is what you want. You don't want just a pretty face or to go with someone just because they look the part. She's not what she was in the Princess Diaries anymore and she was hot even then. I don't see how she is unconventional. She has a sweetness about her but that is nothing a little black leather and some special hairstyling can't take care of. She's played edgy roles before. Even if you have doubts, Nolan has more than earned the benefit of the doubt. He knows what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Bane is not even a tier 4 villain. He is about as uninteresting as it gets being basically a pro wrestler. The guy has muscles, takes drugs and beats people up. As I said, so did The Ultimate Warrior. The writer of this movie should be ashamed of himself for scraping so far down the bottom of the barrel when classic villains like The Penguin and Riddler were available. Hell, even The Gentleman Ghost would have made a more interesting movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Bane was great in the comics and Nolan will likely add alot to him. In Batman Begins, he took two villains who weren't considered major and made them interesting and realistic. Those two villains were able to carry a movie. He will do the same with Bane and he also has Selina/Catwoman involved so he does have at least one major villain involved if Bane doesn't work out, which I doubt will be the case. The Penguin and Riddler have been done. Nolan at least tries to be fresh and do new things that have not been done unlike most directors/writers who use the same villains time after time in these franchises. It also seems like he didn't want to do anything that would be too similar to The Joker and The Riddler, at times, can be. Nolan's movies all have had different feels to them so I think using the Riddler would've created a similar feel to The Dark Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is this supposed to be a trilogy? 'Cause Nolan speaks about "completing our story"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 It was always intended to be as far as I know. Nolan, Bale, Oldman, Caine and Freeman I think all signed on for three films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 20, 2011 Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 Agreed. Ann is an oddball and she doesnt have the sex appeal needed to pull her off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Need I to remind you of KATIE HOLMES!? She sucked mega-a§§ and yet the film was great. Nolan films are never about the female but the male characters... @ Adam: thanks, didn't know that. Hopefully they'll continue the franchise...

Members JackPeyton Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Katie Holmes was a million times better than that awful, dreadful recast. I think Anne will do fine. She is a great actress, can be sexy or not, and has never done anything like this before so thats exciting. Everyone questioned Chris Bale's casting as Batman and heath as the joker as well. Nolan knows what he is doing here. Has it been said she will actually be seen as catwoman? Or just Selina Kyle? Why is everyone questioning Bane being in the film and Anne being cast? Were ya disappointed in TDK or BB? I have faith until proven wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
