It’s been awhile since we heard or seen anything new from Camp-Nolan about the forthcoming, final entry in his Bat-Trilogy. Now, we get a new look at  starring Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne / Batman) and Anne Hathaway (Selina Kyle / Catwoman) from the cover of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, and a closer look at Hathaway’s Catwoman.

Nolan also spoke with the magazine about the film –

“What can I not tell you about my film?”

Nolan did speak a bit about Tom Hardy‘s Bane:

“he represents formidable physical strength, combined with absolute evil of intention.”

Hardy himself commented on Bane and the uproar over Bane’s voice in the trailer:

“It’s a risk, because we could be laughed at — or it could be very fresh and exciting.”

Attributing Bane’s voice to the “comic book character’s brains and Caribbean heritage,” the actor said,

“The audience mustn’t be too concerned about the mumbly voice. As the film progresses, I think you’ll be able to tune to its setting.”

After likening her to a “shifty cipher, calloused survivor, and world-class criminal,” Nolan had this to say about Hathaway’s Selina Kyle / Catwoman:

“She has a very strong way of protecting herself and those she cares about, which implies an underlying darkness.”

Hathaway herself spoke about the physicality of her role:

“I had to physically transform. Chris sat me down at the beginning and said, ‘Joseph Gordon-Levitt did all of his own fighting in INCEPTION. That one zero-gravity fight? He trained for two months.’ I basically left his office and went to the gym and just came out about five minutes ago.”

Next up, is what appears to be an image for a promotional theater standee of Anne Hathaway‘s Catwoman.
