"The Dark Knight Rises" has added a few more cast members to an already impressive cast. The latest additions Brent Cullen (Lost, Ghost Rider) and Chris Ellis (Armageddon, Transformers) will play a judge and a priest, respectively. Other recent additions have been Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket, Married to the Mob), Tom Conti (Derailed, The Tempest), and Joey King (Ramona and Beezus, Battle: Los Angeles) in currently undisclosed roles. We also get our first look at Tom Hardy as Bane when Warner Bros. released the first image through the movie's website.



      There is a great deal of excitement regarding Bane. He made quite an impression since his first comic book appearance in Batman: The Vengence of Bane #1 (Janaury 1993) revealed him as one of Batman's most dangerous foes. a physical and intellectual adversary made even more dangerous by a military experiment that turned him into a virtually unstoppable juggernaut. He achieved true villainous stature when he broke Batman's back during the Knightfall story arc.

    On a sad note, this past week we lost wrestling great "Macho Man" Randy Savage in a tragic car accident. In addition to being a pro-wrestling superstar he became a spokesman for Slim Jim's during the mid 90's. His distinctive style and voice combined with his trademark catchphrase "Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh." made him an instant hit and a natural for apperances on television shows like "Walker: Texas Ranger" and for voice acting on animated shows like "Dexter's Laboratory", "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast", "King of the Hill", and "Family Guy". His most memorable apperance was as the wrestler Bonesaw in the 2002 movie "Spider-Man".
