The actor, who played hero-turned-villain Harvey Dent aka Two-Face in The Dark Knight in 2008, said that Hathaway will be perfect as the femme fatale Catwoman.
"I think Anne Hathaway is going to be wonderful," Eckhart told MTV News.
The star also claimed that he didn't mind not being asked to return for Nolan's third Batman film, saying that it had always been planned as a one-film appearance.
"I never intended to come back," Eckhart claimed. "That's Heath [Ledger]'s movie. It should live solo, and Chris is gonna go on."
The actor admitted that he had spoken with Nolan about the upcoming Batman film, but refused to divulge any of the plot details.
The Dark Knight Rises is due to be released on July 20, 2012.
