Bit of an odd one this. In an interview with Deadline, it was put to the actress that she's recently been mentioned to be in a running for a role in the highly anticipated third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise. As you can see from the following question/answer, she doesn't deny the rumour and seems to address the fact that she's competing with many other actresses (who were also revealed to be in the running when she was).
It’s going on right now as Chris Nolan gets started on a new Batman, and you’ve been mentioned as a candidate for that. Do you find yourself competing against certain actresses or any you measure yourself against?
"Of course, but that has always been the case. There is always competition...I don’t know how to answer that question, it feels too revealing, somehow."
However, I think this very much depends on how you decide to read into what Hathaway said. The fact she didn't come right out and say the rumours were untrue seems to be a good indication, but whether she actually confirms it by the rest of what was said is really up to perspective. Was she referring to the movie or competing with other actresses in general? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released on July 20, 2012!
