Actors Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway and director Christopher Nolan starred in the highly-anticipated Batman final film and revealed details about the film and how they beautifully wrapped up Bruce Wayne's story.

"The Dark Knight Rises" will soon arrive at the theaters in July. There are a lot of doubts as to whether the film can topple the records that "The Avengers" recently broke or whether the film brings closure to the story of the caped crusader.

A new photo of Batman's new villain Bane was released that showed a close-up look of Bane wearing a mask. The mask resembles Hannibal Lecter's mouthpiece and The Predator's mandible giving it a creepy and menacing look.

Tom Hardy, who played the role of Bane, shared his experience of wearing the mask during the interview with Total Film Magazine.

"It's not as bad as you might think. You just put it on. Work out where you drool goes. That's it. Mask work is good fun. This one wasn't painful; there was the stunt mask and there was the up-close on for the sexy glam shots," the actor said.

Anne Hathaway, who played Selina Kyle a.k.a. Catwoman, also revealed her experience while shooting the film. She said that being part of the cast is incredible.

Hathaway said that it is difficult to talk about her character as her role is mysterious and sneaky. She said that Catwoman has her own beliefs and do things according to those beliefs. In the film, Anne Hathaway's character may both Bruce Wayne's ally and love interest.

The film will present a culmination on Bruce Wayne's character and will serve as a grand farewell to the fans and will beautifully bring the story to a close. Christopher Nolan promised that the final film will bring an epic conclusion to Batman's story.

The focus of the three Batman films has always been Bruce Wayne.

"We somewhat left the audience hanging at the end of the last film in terms of Bruce's story and we want to bring it full circle and have a complete tale. We've a great ending we've been wanting to tell for some years now. We're just thrilled to have been able to bring our story around to its conclusion." shared the director to Total Film Magazine.

"We have to give the audience something they haven't seen before, but also fulfill their expectations of what they enjoyed in the first two films. That's the tricky balance. With a sequel there is always the challenge of trying to meet or indeed exceed expectations," Nolan added.

"The Dark Knight Rises" is one of the most anticipated films in 2012. The film will bring new villain, new characters and a whole new plot to the complicated life of Bruce Wayne. Mark your calendars on July 20 to make sure you will not miss the Batman's final film.
