Possible Details Released

Here's some info I found dated March 2, 2011.

It seems that there is a possible leak (or false spoilers) coming from those working on The Dark Knight Rises.  It's marked as "spoilers" rather than "rumors."  But, we all know not to feed into false prophesies.

In either case, this is the news:

Catwoman WILL be in the film, but not necessarily as a villain.  She will be more so a force that works with Batman rather than against him.

The main force of corruption you ask?

The League of Shadows.  Bane, from the comics, was a member and probably the only person on Earth that can match Bruce Wayne punch for punch.  With Ras al Ghul confirmed as to NOT being in the picture, the website that released this info states that the League will be led by Talia Al Ghul.  Joseph Gordan-Levitt will also be associated with the League, possibly as Black Mask.

So here's the breakdown.

We discussed earlier that too many villains can be anti-clamatic and lead to the destruction of a film (in more or less words...).  With Catwoman marked as a force working with Batman, that frees up some room for the villainry.  We're looking currently at Bane, Talia al Ghul, the League of Shadows, Black Mask, police, and the Mob (with possible encounters from Scare Crow, Holliday Killer, among others).

Forces for Good stand with Batman, Commissioner Gordan, and Catwoman.  We're looking now at a full out war with the following end result happening:

Batman's Rise.

In the title, it has to happen.
