scans_dailyAintItCool has the scoop. And I am surprised how many characters may be involved in this thing.
At this point I don't know WHO to believe is in this movie until it is released.
(Mind you, I do understand that the possibly misleading last post about this film came from me.).
From the article:
Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” She will be starring alongside Christian Bale, who returns in the title role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Christopher Nolan stated, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.”
In addition, Tom Hardy has been set to play Bane. Nolan said, “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.” Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven. “The Dark Knight Rises” is slated for release on July 20, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
Ok, so we may not be seeing contemporary Selina, but more the 90's version.
And if they play it smart, Hardy's Bane will be more "super soldier/tactical genius" than muscle bound freak.
For legality, 90's Catwoman, en Espanol.

Nolan has been at the helm from the start, has stated in an interview that he always imagined the Batman movies as a trilogy, and the studio is basically all "here have a ton of cash and whatever you want" (at least, as far as I know). This should rock.
And: Selina! I'm glad she's in the film (even if it is just her and not Catwoman) and have absolute faith that Anne Hathaway will pull it off. She's got range.

At this early(in the Nolanverse) stage of Batman's career I fear he's not going to be utilized to his fullest potential. If Talia's involved he'll probably just be hired muscle for the League of Shadows.
