Photo of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman!

Well, look at that! It's Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in the new official still from Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises." Check it out above. I call it a nice Friday surprise, and it looks darn awesome. What do you think?

"The Dark Knight Rises" won't open until July 20, 2012, but the third installment in the brilliant series is already among the most anticipated flicks of next year. Christian Bale returns as Bruce Wayne, and Tom Hardy is on board as Bane.

Not sure whether this is Hathaway's entire costume, but knowing Nolan, he's got a great story planned for her character. Stay tuned and check back regularly, because I have a feeling goodies like this one will be popping up more often...

'The Dark Knight Rises' teaser trailer 

When I woke up this morning, I assumed that today's film blogs would be mostly reporting on the enormous success of the final installment of the "Harry Potter" series, but I was pleasantly suprised to find that the internet was going berserk over the release of a teaser trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises."

I am glad Nolan's team did this as I was sick of hearing rumor after rumor regarding all that might be happening on the set. While the trailer isn't mind-blowing, it does feature some new shots of Tom Hardy as Bane. Check it out for yourself below. The anticipated flick opens July 20, 2012.

What do you think of this trailer? Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star. Alas, "The Dark Knight Rises" will be the last of the fantastic series.

Teaser poster for 'The Dark Knight Rises'

A teaser poster for Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated sequel "The Dark Knight Rises" has just appeared on the Web, and wow, it looks pretty darn fantastic. Check it out after the jump. I absolutely love it, and now I'm more than ready for a teaser trailer.

Anyway, the poster popped up on Facebook, so let's hope this is the real deal. "The Dark Knight Rises" won't open until July 20, 2012, but I feel we'll be in for some footage of the film very soon. A quick teaser is apparently attached to the last "Harry Potter."

Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star in Nolan's next epic, which I am convinced will deliver the goods big time. What are your thoughts on this poster? Doesn't it look like something you would want to have hanging on your wall?

New set video from 'The Dark Knight Rises' 

I try to pretend that all the buzz surrounding “The Dark Knight Rises” doesn’t excite me, but it totally does.  A blurry photo here, a piece of gossip there, it doesn’t matter: I’m pouring over all of it. This is why today is very special: for the first time, we have a substantial video.

Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne are shooting a scene in the rain. Bruce knocks on a big door, no one comes to answer, and they walk across the street together.

I know, I know, this is nothing right? Wrong. If you’re like me, the chance to see a glimpse of anything from the third installment has become an addiction. So addicts, get your fix right here.

Photos of Wayne Manor from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

After Liam Neeson burned Wayne Manor to the ground in “Batman Begins,” we never got a chance to see the comic’s most glorious estate. In “The Dark Knight,” Bruce and Alfred were cooped up in a penthouse suite overlooking Gotham.

Not so in “The Dark Knight Rises,” which opens July 20, 2012. Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star. Batman-News.com has posted a few new photos of the palace, and I got to say, it looks most impressive. 

However, more important than the architecture of the mansion, is the graveyard that sits on the premises.  Rumor has it that “The Dark Knight Rises” will incorporate an iconic scene from the comics in which Bruce visits the graves of his parents.

Christian Bale to possibly board Aronofsky's 'Noah'

Although director Darren Aronofsky is busy trying to gather funding for his future take on the story of Noah's Ark, First Showing is reporting that he is at work trying to attach actor Christian Bale to the project as well.

While the ambitious project is currently set up at New Regency, the $130 million needed to get this thing off of the ground will require the help from another studio, and Aronofsky is currently shopping the film around town.

If Aronofsky is able to secure Bale, who is still a hot item after snatching an Oscar for his role in "The Fighter," it should make his pursuit for more funding a bit easier.

Intense trailer for 'The Fighter' debuts

The feature trailer for David O. Russell's upcoming drama "The Fighter" has debuted online, so make sure you check it out after the jump. It's quite intense and looks strong. The film opens Dec. 10, 2010.

Inspired by a true story, the film examines the special relationship between Boston fighter Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and his brother Dicky Ecklund (Christian Bale). Amy Adams and Melissa Leo co-star.

As you can see, Bale lost a ton of weight for his role, and it's his performance I'm really looking forward to, even though I admit Wahlberg looks solid as well. All in all, I'm quite stoked about seeing this...

Skinny Christian Bale spotted on 'Fighter' set

Dang, Christian Bale sure looks terrifyingly skinny these days. In case you're wondering... no, he's not sick and not doing drugs. It's all for his new movie "The Fighter," which is currently shooting.

Directed by David O. Russell, the film examines the special relationship between Boston fighter Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg, also pictured below) and his brother Dicky Ecklund (Bale).

Set photos showed up all over the Web recently, and as you can see, Bale lost a lot of weight for his role. Of course, he's used to it by now. Remember he did the same for his awesome performance in "The Machinist."

Like him or hate him, but he sure seems committed. Last thing I heard, losing that much weight and put it back on afterwards is not the best way to treat your body. Anyway, check out the set pics above, below, and here.

'Public Enemies' web reviews

Christian Bale in Public Enemies

Michael Mann returns to the big screen with "Public Enemies," a crime drama following the adventures of American bank robber John Dillinger. The film stars Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard, Christian Bale, Billy Crudup and Stephen Dorff, and here is what the Web's critics have to say about it:

• Jeffrey M. Anderson at Cinematical: "Most scenes come with an intense immediacy, with an effective use of shaky cams and stark lighting, giving chaos an open invitation to rear its ugly head at any time."

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "I am leaving room for this one to grow on me or slowly settle down to the middle, but one thing's for certain, it had my wheels spinning and may likely end up an all-time classic of mine a few years down the line."

Joblo's Jenna Bush: "Great performances, great camera work, but just not engrossing."

LatinoReview's Ron Henriques: "Though 'Public Enemies' is a crime thriller, the flourishes of action and suspense are few and far between."

• Brian Orndorf at brianorndorf.com: "It’s not really any sort of dramatic feature, but merely an empty vessel for Michael Mann to spin furious circles, shedding much of the vanguard appeal that once came so easily to him."
