While attention now shifts for director Chris Nolan from Inception to the next Batman film, it looks like he might be tapping the former film for his new one. Reports are that Inception star Tom Hardy is being tapped for a role in the next Batman.

Tom Hardy has also recently starred in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and This Means War and was set to take the starring role in Mad Max: Fury Road. Nolan’s next Batman movie is believed to be starting its shooting in early 2011 for a 2012 release date.
