We did get ahold of this key art featuring a full body image of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman however, so hopefully this will tide you over until more news, photos and promos break before the July 20th release.

Fascinating.

According to CBS, Leonard Nimoy will appear on the March 29th episode of The Big Bang Theory.

“First reported by TVLine.com, Sheldon will have his Star Trek idol Spock (Leonard Nimoy) speak to him in a dream sequence for the March 29th episode.“

If you’ve been watching The Big Bang Theory since the beginning you’d know that Sheldon fangirls over Spock like a pre-teen over Justin Bieber. This has been one guest appearance I have been waiting for (and perhaps some MORE Wil Wheaton please?) and I will be tuning in on the 29th to catch the Nimoy-Sheldon interaction!

Lucy Liu…Sherlock Holmes…Watson.

Joan Watson to be exact.

The show will be called Elementary and it follows Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) who is a NYPD cop and recovering addict and his ‘sober companion’ and ex-surgeon Watson.

Normally, I like to give remakes a chance..but majority of the time they are horrible and end up being canceled (remember that Charlie’s Angels remake?….me neither) and this is one remake I won’t even bother watching.

I am a long time Sherlock Holmes fan (and no, just JUST of the R.D.J films and BBCs Sherlock) and I cringed when I read that this was happening. I am also a bit peeved about the gender swap (I tend to be in favor of women kicking ass and taking names on television/in movies) but I personally feel Sherlock should be left as is. And how many shows will be put out where the whole premise is a disgruntled/hard headed/’I don’t need no woman tellin’ me what to do but I’ll warm up to you mid-season so hang in there!’ male and his girl sidekick anyway?

A large chunk of the Sherlock Holmes fandom has caused a serious uproar and I know I am hoping that this show just never sees the light of day much like the Wonder Woman remake.

What are your thoughts? Do you think the show should air? Are you cool beans with there being a female Watson?

In the latest issue of Empire Magazine, some details were given in regards to the time frame of “The Dark Knight Rises”. When we last left The Dark Knight, he told Commissioner Gordon that he would be what Gotham needed him to be. Leaving Harvey Dent to die a hero, Batman fled from the scene and left us with nothing more than the end credits.

In an interview with Empire, the film’s director, Christopher Nolan, explained where TDKR would begin:

It’s really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne’s story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he’s an older Bruce Wayne; he’s not in a great state.

For those of you who have followed the comics, Bane wasn’t just a brute who used toxins to boost his physical state, but an extremely intelligent being who was able to break Batman both physically and mentally.

Tom Hardy discussed a bit about Bane in his interview with Empire and the brutality that went along with the character:

Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action.

With the evidence provided, what can we expect from Nolan’s final installment of the Batman franchise? Will we see Bane leaving a tired and deflated Batman left to die? Will Nolan’s Batman separate itself from the other series for a definitive ending?

Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Entertainment Weekly is claiming based off of an unnamed inside source that Variety got it wrong and the rising “Inception” star will not be playing Alberto Falcone in the Christopher Nolan threequel after all.

If EW is right, does that leave the door open for Gordon-Levitt to play the much rumored Hugo Strange?  The Riddler?  Bruce Wayne’s new love interest?  Or maybe EW is mistaken and Variety has the real inside scoop.  Let the casting speculation begin!  Uh.  Again.

The speculation can come to an end regarding Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s casting in “The Dark Knight Rises”. Will he be The Riddler? Wrong. Deadshot? Wrong again. According to Variety, the actor has been confirmed to take on the role of Alberto Falcone. In the graphic novel, The Long Halloween, Alberto Falcone is the son of crime mob boss, Carmine Falcone, who was last played by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins. JGL certainly looks the part as you can see for yourself.

Additional casting news has revealed that 21-year old British actress Juno Temple has won a part in playing what’s been described as a “street-smart Gotham girl”. Minor speculation states that her character may be a female Robin-like character, possibly a nod to Frank Miller’s graphic novel, “The Dark Knight Returns”. Take that with a giant grain of salt though

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th, 2012.

Well, it’s official.  Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy have been cast as Selina Kyle and Bane in Chris Nolan’s next Batman installment, “The Dark Knight Rises”.  Note that Anne Hathaway is only mentioned to be playing Selina Kyle – could this possibly mean there won’t be a Catwoman?  Here’s the full press release:

BURBANK, CA, January 19, 2011 – Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” She will be starring alongside Christian Bale, who returns in the title role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Christopher Nolan stated, “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.”

In addition, Tom Hardy has been set to play Bane. Nolan said, “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.”

Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is slated for release on July 20, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Some interesting news from Ain’t it Cool – apparently, Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen, A Nightmare on Elm Street) is the frontrunner to play the villain, Sinestro, in the comic book movie adaptation of “The Green Lantern”. Not only that, DC Comics is planning for Superman to make a cameo appearance in the film! From the looks of it, it seems like DC Comics may be looking to follow a similar path to Marvel with its character mash-ups.

While there’s really not much else to say regarding these rumors, Harry at Ain’t it Cool does say his source is pretty reliable.

“Green Lantern”, which will be directed by Martin Campbell, is slated for a June 17th, 2011 release date.
