Nolan released last week that Tom Hardy (Inception) and Anne Hathaway will take on the roles of villains Bane and Catwoman. Hardy was great in an inception, so it is no surprise that Nolan would want him in one of his Batman movies. Anne Hathaway however, is an interesting choice and not someone one would expect to be cast as one of Nolan's villains, with movies like the Princess Diaries and Get Smart on her resume.
The role of Catwoman comes is no surprise but Bane is a character known mainly to comic book fans and not the vast majority of Batman viewers. Bane is a steroid enhanced beast who grew up in prison, and when he broke out moved to Gotham to defeat Batman. The choice of Bane is also a shock to many because for those who read the comics know he discovered Batman's true identity and literally is "the Man who broke the Bat."
It will be interesting to see how the portrayal of Bane will turn out in Nolan's Gotham City, because it seems unrealistic to have a juggernaut sized character running around Gotham. I also can not wait to see Nolan put his spin on Catwoman, a character terribly displayed by Halle Berry.
