When Christian Bale returns as Batman in next summer's "The Dark Knight Rises," his Gotham City will be bigger by at least three key occupants: Anne Hathaway as Selina "Catwoman" Kyle, Tom Hardy as Bane and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as beat cop John Blake.
Bale spoke with the Inquirer about all three of these actors, saying that Hathaway had the hardest job of any of them.
"There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously," said Bale. "So, I always saw Anne's role as being the toughest job of any of us. 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."
