I will warn you once and only once. Below be (potential) spoilers. If ye not want to be spoiled, tread no further.
If you find spoilers to your liking and they just whet your taste for this summers’ biggest blockbuster, you can find them after this picture of Anne Hathaway wearing an oh-so-subtle mask, whispering into Christian Bale’s ear (and if you’re like me, this is how you are pretending to receive the information I’m about to give you).
Alright, off we go.
So you’ve probably heard a few things (as yet unconfirmed) about The Dark Knight Rises . Joseph Gordon Levitt will be Robin (or maybe Batman II), Ra’s Al Ghul is coming back to life, Marion Cotillard is playing his vengeful daughter, Cillian Murphy will be making his third appearance as The Scarecrow. Maybe you saw Bruce Wayne’s reflection early in the trailer , shortly after which a figure approaches a table leaning on a cane…
One of the biggest question marks of the upcoming film is Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman. Who’s side is the sneaky seductress on?
In the plot leak, a couple of goons under the employ of the feral Bane (Tom Hardy) are dragging a hooded figure – Bruce Wayne – through a crowd, as Catwoman clears the way.
“Sorry to spoil things, boys, but Bane needs these guys himself.”
Looks like the bad-girl is playing with the bad-guys.
Or is she?
Catwoman is known for her flip-flopping. Is she playing double-agent for Batman?
In other, less-exciting news, Hathaway (doing right by Nolan in a recent interview by balking at plot questions) revealed that she didn’t look to Michelle Pfeiffer, Julie Newmar, or Halle Berry (thank God) for inspiration as she stepped into the role of DC’s most iconic costumed femme-fatale. Rather, she took her cues from golden-age Austrian-American actress Hedy Lamarr.
Hathaway had this to say about Lamarr:
“I know this sounds odd, but her breathing is extraordinary. She takes these long, deep, languid breaths and exhales slowly. There’s a shot of her in ‘Ecstasy’ [1933] exhaling a cigarette and I took probably five breaths during her one exhale. So I started working on my breathing a lot.”
Cool story, bro.
