Bane sucks. The entire character SUCKS. I don't want a Nolanized version of him either. Cyclone colored sprinkes on a dog turd doesn't make it a great dessert. it's still a turd. If the writers wanted to go in the comic-book direction they should have stuck with Killer Croc in the sewer under Arkham.
Killer Croc, Dr Freeze, Clayface, etc would not happen. They would have fit better in the last two atrocities before Nolan took over.
Maggie Gyllenhal added a lot of depth to that character that Katie Holmes could not deliver. I just think that Catwoman has to have some type of femme fatal to her. I am not suggesting Pam Anderson or someone who has zero acting skills. The other women I suggested can bring more depth than Anne Hathaway IMO. Whether it is being more vulnerable, edgier or sexier.
To be fair, no one has any idea what the hell he's planning to do with that character. I like Hathaway as an actress though. I do agree, it seems odd on the surface, but hell so did Heath Ledger as Joker.
Very true and Heath Ledger made Jack Nicholson look bad. Not an easy thing to do. Wish he was still around to reprise the role.
Word. And I should clarify, I actually liked Gyllenhall in that part (and in other movies), but I think it shows that he's not overly worried about injecting cheesecake into his movies.
Interesting choices for not only the villains, but the actors cast.
1) Catwoman's not really a villain, and it'll be interesting to see if her addition is mostly to throw a potential love interest in there for Bruce/Batman or whether she'll be a bit more sinister. Anne Hathaway really surprises me, because it's kind of hard for me to imagine a princessy type person playing that role. I'm somewhat intrigued to see how it all comes together.
2) Bane as an actual villain...well, it's interesting they picked him because 1) he's a relatively 'new' villain and 2) his claim to fame is being the 'Man who broke the Bat'. His abilities do seem a bit difficult to 'rationalize' in a 'realistic' universe, but I'm sure if you can have microwave technology that can vaporize entire water supplies but leave water inside humans completely unharmed, then perhaps you can come up with something believable for Venom.
As for Tom Hardy playing Bane, well, it is a interesting choice, as Hardy is 1) not particularly big and 2) he's British. Easy to work around, of course, but still.
Villains that probably couldn't fit in Nolan's universe:
Killer Croc, Dr. Freeze, Clayface, Man-Bat, Poison Ivy and Solomon Grundy
Villains that could be used:
Riddler, Hush, Deathstroke or Deadshot, Harley Quinn (though without Joker...), Dr. Strange, Penguin (as a regular short fat guy. Not as a human penguin)

Actually, no. Just know of all her romantic comedy works. Not saying she's a bad actress or she couldn't pull off Selina Kyle...just that every time I see Anne Hathaway, I imagine a princess.
For those who scoffed at me in this thread

For those who have not seen "Love and other drugs" - go see it! Tell your girlfriend or wife that you want to take them out and watch a "girlie movie"........Anne is naked about 30% of the movie and was looking good!!!
What?! The Burton movies do not look like a cartoon by any standard. Batman Forever and Batman & Robin look like cartoons even without the comparing them to Nolan's movies, they're just garbage.

Ugh. Turtle Cheesecake, maybe.
Maggie G. and Anne Hathaway are not even in the same ballpark. One is a classically beautiful actress, the other is a troll. I'll let you decide.
vs.
Maybe Maggie's cheesecake fell on the floor.
