Christopher Nolan's tentpole pic has added "Full Metal Jacket" thesp Matthew Modine, who played Pvt. Joker in Stanley Kubrick's 1987 Vietnam War pic. He'll be playing a character named "Nixon" in the superhero sequel, though further details weren't available.

Additionally, Tom Conti and 11-year-old thesp Joey King have joined the ensemble, though in keeping with the Nolan tradition, details of their roles are being kept firmly under wraps.

Goblin, you should update your first post with relevant news and stuff. Like a quick check for my Batman fix.

I recently asked rush for the ability to change the thread title, so that the title of the thread could include the most recent news. For example right now it would read,

Goblinslayer's Batman News Thread~~First official picture of Tom Hardy as Bane!

I will update the first post with a list of recent news from now on.

I wonder, did they want to release this? I mean, its kind of a big deal I'd think, and it looks pretty professional.

Also, I read something about his rumored origins and powers

 

Bane is discovered after Ra's burns down a village with the league of shadows --- every citizen completely wiped out -- they watch as the mayhem ensues.

However, before leaving, a young boy rises from a BURING PIT, the boy (young bane) is covered in flames.

Apparently, he doesn't even flinch which makes Ra's intrigued.

They take him in and teach him everything he knows So basically,

Bane's only real advantage is that he has a genetic mutation that makes him impervious to pain. No super strength or chemical enhancers (tht i was made aware of)ane is discovered after Ra's burns down a village with the league of shadows --- every citizen completely wiped out -- they watch as the mayhem ensues.

I don't buy the whole Bane being a ****** theory. Being a born ****** wasn't a common theme in DC comics, as much as I can remember.

Of course this shit goes down when I'm at work. Smh.

No cords for venom, I like that his mask doesn't cover all of his face.

I never actually read the Bane story line. Is it in graphic novel format now ?
Dont feel like sorting through back issues.

The Knightfall storyline is separated into three graphic novels, here's the first one where Bane breaks Batman on Amazon:

Christopher Nolan's longtime casting director John Papsidera must have seen "Apollo 13" recently, as veteran character actors Brett Cullen and Chris Ellis are set to round out the ensemble of "The Dark Knight Rises," Variety's Jeff Sneider exclusively reports. Cullen will play a judge, while Ellis will play a priest. Duo joins Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Daniel Sunjata, Diego Klattenhoff and Burn Gorman as newcomers to the superhero franchise -- all first reported on SHOWBLITZ. Cullen is best known for his recurring role as an Other on ABC's "Lost"; Ellis appeared in Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can," Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" and Michael Bay's "Transformers."

More casting news.

Showbiz 411 columnist Roger Friedman writes: "Matthew Modine is about to start filming key scenes in the new Batman movie. I'm told that Modine –whose character's name has been reported as Nixon– is playing an appropriate character for his name. 'He's a politician and a key villain,' says a source. This does sound like director Chris Nolan is creating an homage to another Nixon we knew long ago. At least Modine is getting to shoot his scenes in a safe studio in London."
