Anne Hathaway has been cast as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, and Tom Hardy will play cerebral hardman Bane.
The pair join Christian Bale, who will portray the caped crusader for a third time.
“I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies,” said director Christopher Nolan in a statement confirming Batman’s newest big screen adversaries.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Hathaway was among the actresses being considered for two female leads, alongside Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel, Kate Mara, Charlotte Riley and Gemma Arterton.
The other, yet to be cast, role is believed to be that of Bruce Wayne’s love interest.
Meanwhile, Hardy’s name has been in the frame for a while, but as demented psychiatrist Dr Hugo Strange.
Bane was first thrown into the mix as a possible villain this month, when it was speculated that the character would be closer to the comic’s intelligent take than the brainless beefcake that appeared in 1997’s Batman and Robin.
The role of Catwoman was played by Michelle Pfeiffer in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns.
Do you agree with the choice of Anne Hathaway for Catwoman and Tom Hardy for Bane? Would you liked to have seen a new Batman villain?
