Batman-On-Film have confirmed it is true.

Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman in the movie. I can't tell you what role she has in the beginning, but by the end of the story Catwoman isn't a villain but rather an ally of Batman. And who are they teaming up to take out?

The League of Shadows.

Headed by Talia Al'Ghul. With Bane, who is her muscle/possible love interest. And with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in tow. Is he playing Black Mask? My source didn't know, but did know that Levitt is certainly an antagonist and involved with the League of Shadows.

[The Dark Knight]

I know it will be done differently, but I can't help but recall crow BaR's Ivy/Bane team-up. If this is true, which I think it is, I'd much rather Bane be his own man. Talia tells him what she wants, but he has free creative control over how he achieves that.

Same man, I don't want a Bane thats hired muscle, I want a Bane thats a one man killing machine

This probably contradicts the Talia of the comics a bit (she's supposed to be one of the bigger loves of Batman), but I don't mind since I was never the biggest fan of this side of the Batman story.

If this synopsis is indeed true, what I really love is that Catwoman is an ally of Batman. This is one reason to get more excited, at least from my POV

As for Bane - I think one of the reasons Nolan picked him was the butchering of the character in Batman & Robin. What the general audience knew about Bane is that he's the big dumb bodyguard of Poison Ivy - the new film is going to change that.

[Gotham Knight]

I'm inclined to believe this is true because, when you honestly think about it, where else can they go? Nolan's instance on what he considers realism forbids...everybody. 

I mean... lets be honest...if the Joker wasn't THE villain of the mythos...he wouldn't have done him. Even so, the more I watch TDK the more I become convinced that his inclusion as a "force of nature" was Nolan's way of begrudgingly adding him in the first place.
