Warner Bros. made the official announcement today that Anne Hathaway would be playing Catwoman and Tom Hardy would be playing Bane in the The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan’s finale to his Batman-trilogy.
This ends all of the speculation as to who Hardy would play and what female villain would go up against Batman in the 2012 film. Almost all at least.

Last year a number of female names were bandied about for two possible female roles: a love interest for Batman and an adversary. Given Catwoman’s most recent past with the Dark Knight, I suspect that Catwoman is not his enemy in this film. I could be wrong, but I still don’t think it’s far-fetched to believe that Talia al Ghul and the League of Assassins are the villains (aided by Bane) and Catwoman is something of the anti-hero she has been portrayed for years now in the comic books.
Time will tell as more casting is announced for the hotly-anticipated film.
The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled for release on July 20, 2012.
