Tom Hardy cast in unspecified role in Chris Nolan's third "Batman"



British character actor Tom Hardy (pictured above with rapist tattoo), who proved what a formidable talent he was with 2009's Bronson and got a major push into the mainstream with his scene-stealing in Christopher Nolan's Inception this year, has now joined the cast of Nolan's sequel to The Dark Knight, according to Deadline. No one knows what role he'll be playing, but it's not unreasonable to think it'll be the villain, the identity of whom is still anyone's guess (although given Hardy's skill at playing wiseasses, I'd guess the Riddler if it came down to it). Filming is set to begin next spring for a summer '12 release.
