Superhero Notes: Tom Hardy cast in Batman 3; Aronofsky clears way for Wolverine 2


Briefly...

* We know Christopher Nolan likes sticking with what works, and Tom Hardy definitely worked in Inception earlier this year. Deadline is reporting that Hardy has been cast in Batman 3, but no word on his role has been revealed as of yet. After his menacing performance in Bronson I'd say he'd make for one hell of a Killer Croc. 

* Darren Aronofsky(The Wrestler) just passed on Warner Brothers' proposed crime drama, Gangster Squad. The flick, which followed a special unit created to stand up against an influx of mobsters, was pretty much the only thing stopping him from directing Wolverine 2. Assuming Aronofsky signs he'll be reuniting with Hugh Jackman, star of his film The Fountain back in 2006.
