X-Pics and Hathaway is Purrrrfect

     We have some great news in the world of comic book movies.  The first is from X-Men: First Class, we finally have a good promotion shot from the movie showing most of the mutants from the movie.  The plot of the movie revolves around the early days for Professor X and Magneto.  Before they were enemies they were friends first starting up the school for mutants.

     The second bit of news comes from the next Batman movie Batman: The Dark Knight Rises.  It was reported today that Anne Hathaway is going to be Catwoman.  She will now join the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry as the perrrrrfect cat burglar.  I believe that is actually a good decision on the casting side, unexpected but good.  I look forward to seeing her in outfit.  Plus Tom Hardy has been cast as the villain Bane in the new Bat movie.  I am really curious as to how they will portray Bane in the movie.  In the comics Bane is infamous as the man who broke Batman's back and put him out of commission for awhile.  Plus in a movie where they are intent on placing as much real world applications as possible (trying to make you think that Batman could exist) will they make him comic book bulked up, hopped on some type of drug that made him so unbelievably muscle bound or just a regular muscle bound dude.  In addition, surely they couldn't go the route of back breaking just to have it healed again all within a two hour movie so I wonder what they might try to do.
