This image has been released by Warner Bros. and shows Hathaway on the Bat Bike. Earlier this year, the world went mad for the viral marketing campaign which through a series of clever puzzles eventually gave us our first look at this first image of Tom Hardy as the movie villain, Bane.
Then came the teaser poster which set light to the touchpaper under excitable Batfans and this trailer is perhaps one of the most anticipated first looks of the summer. Then finally we had the teaser trailer which we LOVE!
The Dark Knight Rises is set for release in 20th July, 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Josh Pence, and Marion Cotillard.

Was not impressed when I first saw this, but I’ve revisited it numerous times and it’s starting to grow on me. She was never going to be anything close to Pfeiffers Selina, but her lasting image is just so iconic this is a complete juxtaposition and felt a little jarring, but that wears off in time and now I’m looking forward to a fresh take on the character (in relation to the Bat films anyway)
But then saying that…the file is labelled “Selina Kyle” so is this before her transformation into Catwoman? Or is this her as Catwoman and Nolan is shying away from any relation to the feline and strictly sticking with the Cat Burglar avenue? *Ponders*
