Rumor: The Dark Knight Rises Female Lead Short list

It seems like Chris Nolan has been a little busy with casting lately and somebody got their hands on the short list he created for the female lead in The Dark Knight Rises.

The roles are believed to be for the love interest of Bruce Wayne and the female villain.

The names on the short list are not that surprising, but they are high-profile.

The list includes the names of Naomi Watts, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley, Blake Lively and Rachel Weisz.

Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman are returning with the addition of Tom Hardy in an unspecified role. This movie could end up being very epic.


The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20, 2012.
