With all of this Avengers news cropping up everywhere, it seems that The Dark Knight Rises has been able to lurk in the shadows unseen. We can, however, expect to see Batman and Catwoman hit news-stands everywhere starting this week.

Thanks to EntertainmentWeekly (via CBM) for the photo and brief interview snippets below!

The issue is on sale now, but we have these juicy previews of the articles that lay within. Enjoy!

Christopher Nolan on Bane and Catwoman:

“He represents formidable physical strength, combined with absolute evil of intention.”

“She has a very strong way of protecting herself and those she cares about, which implies an underlying darkness.”

Tom Hardy on Bane’s voice:

“It’s a risk, because we could be laughed at — or it could be very fresh and exciting,” says Hardy, adding that the voice he developed was influenced by many factors, including a desire to honor the comic book character’s brains and Caribbean heritage. “The audience mustn’t be too concerned about the mumbly voice,” says Hardy. “As the film progresses, I think you’ll be able to tune to its setting.”

Anne Hathaway on the special training she received to play Catwoman.

“I had to physically transform. Chris sat me down at the beginning and said, ‘Joseph Gordon-Levitt did all of his own fighting in Inception. That one zero-gravity fight? He trained for two months.’ I basically left his office and went to the gym and just came out about five minutes ago.”
