In what’s sure to fill fanboys with a complicated mixture of giddiness, delight, anticipation and disappointment, the Los Angeles Times today revealed a key plot point in The Dark Knight Rises, the uber-anticipated final chapter in Christopher Nolan‘s blockbuster Batman trilogy. The newspaper was at least kind enough to attach a “spoiler warning” to its story, a profile of TDKR castmember Anne Hathaway, which will appear in print in its upcoming 2012 “Film Sneaks” issue. We’ll go ahead and add one more before moving forward with the Times’ description of what is no doubt one of the more important scenes in the film:
**Spoiler Alert**
Aaaaaand here we go:
‘Sorry to spoil things, boys, but Bane needs these guys himself,’ says sultry Selina Kyle, played here by actress Anne Hathaway, navigating the steps with stiletto heels that, on closer inspection, turn out to have serrated edges capable of leaving nasty claw marks in a fight. She also wears high-tech goggles that, when not in use, flip up and resemble feline ears.”
The article goes on to reveal that the film is set eight years after the events of 2008’s The Dark Knight and that Hathaway is keen on doing crossword puzzles between scenes — thus officially discrediting the long-circulating rumor that the actress was partial to Sudoku.
