CinimaBlend: "This morning's big news eliminated The Riddler from contention in Christopher Nolan's Batman sequel The Dark Knight Rises, but has only managed to make people more curious about who the film's main baddie will be. Killer Croc? Black Mask? Clay Face? Whoever the character is, most expect that the role will be played by Tom Hardy, who was mysteriously cast in the film two weeks ago to the day. The main challenge is figuring out the perfect bad guy that can both fit into Nolan's hyper-real universe and follow the plotline created at the end of The Dark Knight. IMDb may have a possible answer."
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.

Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
Hmmm....it does sound plausible but I'm still hoping for another super villain. I know since he's on the run, this type of story might be more ideal and realistic, but I can't help it. I want to see some big main villain come in for this final (more than likely) Nolan Batman film.
Here's what I don't get...where is all this "Tom Hardy CONFIRMED" talk coming from? As far as I can tell, all roads lead back to the Deadline story. However, Deadline never confirmed it. They merely said that some insider they knew close to the project had said Hardy's name was thrown into the mix and he was possibly going to be offered the lead role. That sounds like nothing but rumor to me.
Hell not long ago it was "confirmed" that The Riddler was on the casting grid with Gordon-Levitt's name beside him. We all know how that turned out. I'm still holding reservations about Hardy even being in the film.
