A number of prominent young actresses including Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel, and Anne Hathaway are vying for two key female roles in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. Reports indicate that one of the roles is that of Talia, the estranged daughter of Ra’s Al Ghul. In the comics Talia is a complex character who is neither a heroine nor a villain. She is Batman’s lover and the mother Damian Wayne, the fifth Robin.
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision, other actresses on the short list for The Dark Knight Rises include Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia), Charlotte Riley (Wuthering Heights), Kate Mara, and possibly Naomi Watts.
The Dark Knight Rises, which is being written by Nolan, David Goyer, and Nolan’s brother Jonathan, is slated to begin shooting in May.
List Includes Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel, & Anne Hathaway
