So apparently the plot details for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises have found their way online despite every effort to ensure this very scenario doesn’t happen. The report comes from Badass Digest and I can only tell you they, and several other sites, are saying this news is legit.
I will also say I didn’t read any of the information below as I’m not personally interested in having the plot of the film spoiled. So if you’re up for it, have at it, otherwise why did you click on this headline in the first place?
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.
The Dark Knight Rises is slated to hit theaters on July 20, 2012 with Christian Bale returning along with Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman and newcomers Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Shooting is expected to take place in London and Los Angeles in May.
