A “good source” has told Badass Digest who the villains are and a bit of the plot for Nolan’s Dark Knight Rises. There’s nothing terribly revealing here, certainly nothing anyone reading all the online news couldn’t have surmised on their own, but it’s circulating a lot this morning…
Badass Digest says their source revealed:
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.
Does anyone else think “Rise of the Dark Knight” would be a better title than “Dark Knight Rises?”
More importantly, does anyone else share my fear that Nolan is going the Spiderman 3, Batman Returns (and all sequels thereafter) mistake route of trying to bring in too many “icon” characters? Historically, that’s always resulted in unfocused, subpar films. Is this is a risk for him?
