We say Batman 3! Fanboys shout ‘For the last time! It’s not Batman 3!’ Okay, it’s not the most effective of call-and-responses, but it’s something we seem to do at an alarming rate. Anyway, since the new Batman films came out and salvaged the superhero’s name from being written off as a constant source of turkeys, everyone is rather excited about the next instalment.
And there’s good news for women (and men) who fancy handsome men who have yet to decide which accent to speak in.
Yes indeed, ‘Inception’ muscleman Tom Hardy is up for a lead role in Batman 3, where he’s almost guaranteed to play a baddie… right?
Hardy, who ruins other people’s gussets on an hourly basis by being so devastatingly good-looking that knicker manufacturers are considering sponsoring him, is reportedly being courted by director Chris Nolan for the new Batman movie.
There’s no word on who Hardy will be playing, but after his turn as Charles Bronson, it’s hard to imagine him in any role that doesn’t require him to be a bit of a mental. And he sure as hell won’t be Robin. Not a hope in hell. Robin is supposed to be weedier and there’s nothing about Tom Hardy that says ‘Boy Wonder’ is there?
Of course, Tom is a busy bee at the moment and stars in Tomas Alfredson’s ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’ as well as romcom ‘This Means War’ opposite Reese Witherspoon.
Filming is expected to begin on Batman 3 in the spring in New Orleans and it looks like Mr Hardy will become a proper A-lister as a result.
He just has to decide which accent he’ll be conducting interviews in because it’s annoying.
Before we even get to that, it seems Warner Brothers and Chris Nolan will have to settle the argument about whether or not to shoot in the 3D, with the director really not keen on the idea at all.
Anyway Batfans, speculate away at which of the baddies you think will appear in the new flick.

Hopefully he is Black Mask, or anyone else, as long as he is NOT the Riddler. I think Joseph Gordon Levitt would own Riddler’s part.
