Rumor: Inception Co-Star is Hugo Strange in Dark Knight Rises - Polidicks

[url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/105427-Rumor-Inception-Co-Star-is-Hugo-Strange-in-Dark-Knight-Rises]Source[/url] [quote]The latest rumor swirling around Christopher Nolan's third Batman film reveals one of its villains and the actor who'll play him. The anticipation for Christopher Nolan's next Batman film, recently revealed as The Dark Knight Rises, is so great that fans just can't stop talking about it. Though Nolan has been extremely tight lipped about the movie's plot, a new rumor could finally reveal one of its villains. A source with Batman News that has reportedly been reliable in the past with information that included the Riddler's exclusion from Rises and names of actresses in the running for the movie's lead female role (possibly Catwoman), told the site that Hugo Strange will be one of the film's main characters. Inception co-star Tom Hardy is said to be playing a major part in Rises, and the source "strongly believes" that Hardy will be taking on the role of Strange. Hugo Strange fits Nolan's defined criteria for a villain in Rises because he's not well-known like the Joker or the Riddler. In the Batman comics, Strange has been anything from a mad scientist to a psychologist, but one common theme in his mythos is that he eventually discovers Batman's true identity. If Strange is in Rises, I would hedge my bets that he discovers Bruce Wayne is Batman as part of the movie's plot. As a reminder, this is all just speculation based on rumors, but when Nolan has given us so little to work with what does he expect? Here's hoping that Nolan gets badgered enough about revealing more Dark Knight Rises details that he actually gives us some before the movie is released in 2012.[/quote] [img]http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/28/28904.jpg[/img] Hugo Strange?

this isn't news, it's a rumor.

I was really hoping for the Riddler, but Hugo Strange is awesome as well.

Nolan has you all wrapped around his finger, trying to guess which villain it's going to be. Truth is Dark Knight Rises is set 50 years after TDK where Bruce Wayne's arch nemesis is the bathtub.

I thought they already confirmed Hardy would play detective whats his face?

Hugo strange would be the worst villain to have in a movie.

what are all those links at the bottom of the post for?

[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;26149931]I thought they already confirmed Hardy would play detective whats his face?[/QUOTE] Nope. That was just another dumb IMDB rumor.

He would be the perfect villain, because he's not over the top or famous, and this is the last movie, so what it needs is subtlety.

[QUOTE=stepat201;26149987]He would be the perfect villain, because he's not over the top or famous, and this is the last movie, so what it needs is subtlety.[/QUOTE] Having a villain know the identity of Batman would put a damper on the film.

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;26150107]Having a villain know the identity of Batman would put a damper on the film.[/QUOTE] No, having a villain who knows the identity of Batman would add tension to the movie. Remember, people are still blaming Batman for everything that happened in the last film. The threat of being revealed will make things harder for Bats when he's doing whatever he's doing.

Mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Moi name is Hugo, and all my loife I've wanted to be famous.

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;26150107]Having a villain know the identity of Batman would put a damper on the film.[/QUOTE] No, not really, not at all. How you came to this conclusion is a mystery.
