Anybody else watch a ridiculous amount of Anne Hathaway on FX this weekend?
Let's round up some of the sweet Dark Knight Rises news over the past few days. First, there's the news that Christian Bale will not do another Batman movie after The Dark Knight Rises. To this I say, "No sh*t." We already knew that this would be Christopher Nolan's last batman film so why would Bale continue on without him? The two made the dream team and Bale strikes me as the type of loyal actor to just stick with his character of Batman, which would be impeded by any other director. Bale puts it this way, "In my case, I've stopped referencing outside sources. I now reference Chris' own world of Batman as a guide to what I will continue doing."
Oh, also, this was sent to me today.
Moving on to other news, recently engaged Anne Hathaway has reportedly impressed Bale in her portrayal of Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle. Bale told the Philippene Daily Inquirer the following: "The thing that I said to Chris [Nolan] that day was that there were many very accomplished actresses who had read for the role. I'm terrible at auditions, so I'm very impressed when somebody really seems to acquire an ownership of a character without having worked on it or prepared for some amount of time...When Chris watched the screen test, he agreed that Anne did a wonderful job. In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne's role as being the toughest job of any of us."
In case you had any doubt, Tom Hardy did a fantastic job on Bane. Bale says, "He goes the whole hog. I know that Bane has been seen in movies before. But, in my eyes, Tom is essentially creating Bane for the first time so there's great freedom for him to be able to do so."
