Modines character Nixon, A corrupt politician. Real name: Roman Sionis.
Roman Sionis killed his parents, inherited the family fortune, and faked his death to avoide suspicion. Years later he returns as a wealthy politician dealing with internal state issues. His second job, lord of the underworld. Ties to Bane? Could be business, could be enemies.
Batman is definitley severley injured by Bane. The theme for The dark knight rises IS infact to rise against all odds and to conquer. Sionis is exposed by Batman and he overcomes physical boundaries. Gordon eventually comes out on the Dent murders helping to fully clear batmans name.
Tate is definitley Talia. We all see it coming, why would ra's be included(aside from a bane origin) and joey king cast as a little girl.
Its almost certain this movie will have more obvious twists than we see. Nolan won't come straight out because he doesn't want to please us just yet.
Catwoman will definitley be an anti-hero. A menace, a friend, and a love affair.
Tate knows who batman is. Bruce wayne. So she establishes herself as an employee at wayne enterprises to gain the trust of the company and access to the building with underlying plans of gothams demise. To finish her fathers work and cripple the man who killer her father. She's conflicted with her plans and her admiration of batman and his will to keep fighting, especially when he rises against his injuries...
Maybe levitts character will be an enemy turned friend to batman near the exposure of sionis. Batman aids him in the exposure, he can't do it himself because noone trusts him anymore.
The first time batman and blake meet, they are seperated from the sat and batman beats him up while simultaniously trying to explain they're are the same. Inspired with a cause.
