Director: Christopher Nolan
Synopsis
Director Christopher Nolan and his screenwriting brother Jonathan close the circle on their globe-conquering series of Batman movies. Anne Hathaway has joined the cast as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman, riding a pretty funky wide-wheeled motorbike, Marion Cotillard is to play potential new love interest Miranda Tate, Joseph Gordon Levitt has signed on as Gotham cop John Blake and eternally rising star Tom Hardy is also on board as masked, musclebound psycho Bane. Tonally, expect more of the same none-more-black grimness as the last two movies. Nolan has vowed that this will be the last in his Batman cycle, but we have no doubt that in a dank cellar somewhere in Hollywood, a studio dogsbody is busily figuring out the character’s inevitable rebirth.
