According to the report, the film will focus on Batman (Christian Bale) facing off against the League of Shadows, which is a vigilante group led by Talia al Ghul (Marion Cotillard), the daughter of Batman Begins' villain, Ra's al Ghul (Liam Neeson).
The League of Shadows was featured in the first installment of the film, where it was led by Ra's al Ghul, who pretended to be Henri Ducard, a mentor to Bruce Wayne.
Meanwhile, Bane (Tom Hardy) will be Talia's "muscle" and "possible love interest," rumored star, Joseph Gordon-Levitt will appear as another villanous character connected to the organization, and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) will ultimately choose the side of good and fight with the caped crusader.
