In case anyone was wondering who Tom Hardy's going to play in Nolan's next Batman movie, it's Bane.In case anyone was wondering why I'm posting that here, it's because Bane is not a white Brit. He's Latino. He's from a fictional Carribean island called Santa Prisca that was colonized by Spain and shows strong influences from that and the African

Can you fix the HTML though?

Thank you! It's fixed now, I'm sorry I missed it before hitting 'post'.

Yep, no problem! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. :D

Incredibly disappointing, especially considering comic book movies' ability to influence details of comics after them. Why can't all comic castings be like Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury?

aw dammit :( i'm a huge thard stan and i was super excited to hear about who he's gonna play, but i didn't know anything about batman etc.... this is a huge disappointment :(

I was hoping Nolan would go with Talia al Ghul and Hugo Strange for the villains. Ugh.

Really disappointed with the whitewashing here.

Oh gods no, I like her well enough and want some good exposure for her outside the comics and BTAS, but I'd never want Nolan to have anything to do with Talia. I can't imagine him not failing hard with her.

He probably would have whitewashed Talia, too. Considering Ra's al Ghul.

On the downside, it's pretty disappointing too. Irregardless of the race of the character, I would have loved to see the oh-so-lovely Stana Katic on the big screen again. :)

This is disappointing. Of course, the first Nolan Batman movie also had Ra's al Ghul played by Liam Neeson/Gedde Watanabe, so I suppose it's not surprising.
