Bane and Hush to be in KNIGHTFALL!

[Uuah]

I just heard, on a podcast, that Michael Clark Duncan (The Green Mile, Sin City) and Vinnie Jones (Gone in 60 Seconds, Survive Style 5) are both bidding for the role of Bane in the new Knightfall movie. Nothing is official, yet, but it's rumored that Chris Nolan is going to base his newest Bat Film off of the Knightfall and Hush story lines.
Although Christopher Nolan has no comment on the subject, it's being said that he's cast his gaze toward Guy Pearce (Memento, The Proposition) to reunite with he and his co-writer/brother, to play Hush. It's said that if Pearce doesn't want the role, he is planning to approach Casey Affleck (The Assassination of Jesse James).
Whether the rumors of Johnny Depp playing the Riddler are true or not, it was said, on the podcast (Words and Pictureshows) that The Nolan brothers are trying to steer Depp towards possibly playing Azrael or a yet-to-be-named supporting character.
There was also talks of Rose Byrne (Sunshine, Damages, Wicker Park) being used to introduce Catwoman, after Sarah Polley suggested her after refusing the role herself. The introduction of Catwoman, allegedly, will be based more on Batman Year One's ex-pro gone vigilante approach to the character , rather than the traditionally portrayal of Catwoman as a cat burglar and human pun.
It's also in the far reaches of extreme rumor that they're thinking of introducing the Detective Harvey Bullock character, from the classic '90's Paul Dini animated series, as a member of the cast. It's said they're possibly looking at Kevin Corrigan for the role.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm excited!
