In January we learned that Anne Hathaway had been cast as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane in the upcoming Batman sequel film The Dark Knight Rises. A few weeks later we learned that Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard had also been cast in the film (tho their roles have not yet been announced). Today we get to read a few reported plot details from the script of The Dark Knight Rises. Altho these deets have not yet been confirmed, you may want to avoid reading them if you want to remain unspoiled should these details prove to be correct. The deets are very interesting, so I suggest you give them a read.

OK, so below you can read some interesting plot spoilers regarding the new Batman movie. Catwoman’s role is revealed and some other cool stuff. “I just talked to a good source near the Batcamp and have come away with information about The Dark Knight Rises that confirms lots of speculation from recent months.

Here goes nothing:

As she herself confirmed, Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman in the movie. I can’t tell you what role she has in the beginning, but by the end of the story Catwoman isn’t a villain but rather an ally of Batman. And who are they teaming up to take out? The League of Shadows. Headed by Talia Al’Ghul. With Bane, who is her muscle/possible love interest. And with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in tow. Is he playing Black Mask? My source didn’t know, but did know that Levitt is certainly an antagonist and involved with the League of Shadows.” Remember, nothing is confirmed, so take this with a grain of salt for now … Batman-On-Film.com posted on their Facebook page that this plot summary is indeed true: “FYI: Some TDKR details have leaked. I know that they are true because I’ve known about it for a few weeks now.” Again, nothing is confirmed until we get the official word. But all this definitely sounds pretty good. Stay tuned for more updates! The Dark Knight Rises is set to hit theatres on July 20, 2012!

HMMMMM. So, if true, Anne will play Catwoman and not merely Selina Kyle … that makes total sense. IMHO, it sounds like Marion Cotillard will play Talia al Ghul and I could see how JGL might be cast as Black Mask. All of this sounds good to me … despite my concern over Anne Hathaway‘s ability to bring Catwoman to life, I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until I see any evidence IMHO that she can’t play the part. Who knows if these plot details will actually turn out to be true … but if so, it sounds like The Dark Knight Rises will be pretty awesome.
