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...

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?

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.

Fincher and Nolan on the importance of Terrence Malick

Director Terrence Malick's much buzzed about new film "The Tree of Life" has been dazzling many people as of late. Not only did it win the Palme d'Or at Cannes film festival but has also done astonishingly well at the box office considering the small amount of theaters featuring the picture. 

However, as Fox Searchlight prepares to take the film to over 100 theaters this weekend, they aren't taking any chances with the reputation that the film has already built. Instead, they have created a promotional video with directors David Fincher ("The Social Network, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo") and Christopher Nolan ("The Dark Knight", "Inception") discussing the genius of Terrence Malick interspersed with clips from the new film. 

So if you were still on the fence about the film even after all of the accolades that it has received and the money it has made, Fox is hoping that Fincher and Nolan's words will finally get your butt in the theater. If you need even more convincing, you can read our review of the film here.

Hathaway injures stuntman on set of 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Let's face it. Any news about Christopher Nolan's upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises" is good news. Any time a video or picture from the set surfaces, I cannot stop myself from checking it out. So in keeping with that spirit, news is actress Anne Hathaway (Selina Kyle/Catwoman) recently injured a stuntman on set. 

According to TV Guide, Hathaway got a "bit carried away" while staging a fight scene and accidently shoved the butt of a gun into the eye socket of a stuntman. However, there are no hard feelings, and Hathaway later sent the man a pen with the engraving "Remember no one packs a punch like Anne" on it. 

So while this isn't the most breathtaking news on the planet right now, it will hold you over until more is released from the set of "The Dark Knight Rises."

Nolan's third Batman film has a title!!!

Just a couple of weeks ago, I woke up and started my day asking myself the one big question: what the heck will they call the next "Batman" movie? I thought about it for a while, but I eventually gave up...

Needless to say, I was hoping they would shoot for a new title, but according to Christopher Nolan, that's not exactly the case. His third "Batman" film will be titled "The Dark Knight Rises." Okay, fair enough.

Speaking with Hero Complex, Nolan also talked about the villain. More specifically, he mentioned the villain we won't get to see in the third flick: the Riddler. Nope, not this time. It will be someone else.

Tom Hardy to star in 'Batman 3'

Every piece of news regarding Christopher Nolan's "Batman 3" is pretty much compelling, including this latest casting announcement: Tom Hardy will play a major role in the "The Dark Knight" sequel.

Deadline says no details about his role are known at this point, but it seems Hardy may end up playing a villain. At least that's what I hope will happen. Hardy last collaborated with Nolan on "Inception."

Hardy, who also starred in "Bronson" and "RocknRolla," has several gigs lined up. He will star in "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "This Means War," and he's also still attached to star in "Mad Max: Fury Road."

Zack Snyder to direct 'Superman'

Here's the news of the day: Zack Snyder has been picked to direct the new "Superman" reboot for Warner Bros. He was one of several directors in the running for the job, and now it's official he will be at the helm.

Christopher Nolan is mentoring the project he is develping with David Goyer. Nolan also considered Tony Scott, Matt Reeves, Jonathan Liebesman and Duncan Jones, but I guess Snyder impressed him most.

Deadline reports Snyder confirmed the news as well, saying he is excited about creating the new "Man of Steel." He will attack the project as soon as he is done with the post-production on "Sucker Punch."
