That sound you just heard was the Internet exploding. Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. announced today that Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway will take the role of "Selina Kyle" in The Dark Knight Rises. So, Catwoman? Nolan doesn't say specifically in the press release: "I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story." The director does confirm one villain, though: Tom Hardy will be playing the villainous Bane, and not The Riddler or Dr. Hugo Strange or any other obscure Batman foe. [Deadline]
