Director Christopher Nolan has chosen the actress he wants in the role of Catwoman/Selina Kyle, which is none other than Anne Hathaway...
As Christopher Nolan prepares to commence shooting on his third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, news has arrived (courtesy of Deadline), of a particularly significant bit of casting.
Anne Hathaway has reportedly beaten Keira Knightley, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively and Natalie Portman to the role of Selina Kyle, also known as the slinky Catwoman.
Hathaway joins the esteemed company of Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, Eartha Kitt, Michelle Pfieffer and Halle Berry as the latest screen incarnation of Catwoman.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story," Nolan enthused in a statement.
Meanwhile, Warner has confirmed last year's rumours that Tom Hardy will indeed be playing Bane.
Anne Hathaway is Catwoman - hear her roar. The Dark Knight Rises is due for release in July.
