I could handle Beckinsale as Catwoman but it would be nice to see a villain we haven't seen before.
Corvin...you too? I figured you know me well enough by now...

Mike, I AM THE ONE WHO FIRST POSTED IT. I was making a dig at myself, hoping someone would notice.

Apparently, the joke was on me.

Josh.

I'm in the Guy Pearce camp. I'd take him in any role, but the Riddler would be interesting.

That would be a great pick!

I think Sam Rockwell would make a good Riddler.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

I would like to see Robert Downey Jr.'s take on The Riddler. He can definitely pull off the whimsical aspect and it would be interesting to see his take on a villain (I don't think he's played a villain before, has he?). I'm sure he can be menacing.

Don't know if he can technically undertake the role, given whatever clauses are in his Iron Man contract.

For Batman 3, they should go for more unknown villains as with Batman Begins and Iron Man 2 - Batman's old school villains are just so silly (including the Joker).

well the problem with IM is that his villains are all pretty much unknown to the general public. The character of IM may be known but his rogues gallery not so much.

outside of IMAX cameras being heavy and expensive (and that's all I say about the subject) it's the same if they shot with standard 70mm cameras.

Though you have to admit (for IM2), the character of Whiplash is pretty silly also.

After noticing Max Payne on HBO this morning, Olga Kurylenko would be a cool Talia

silly, but at least obscure...i'll take it over the Chinese wizard character(Mandarin) that we have already seen in countless films already...whips are cooler than magic anyway.

Plus, I guess it's hard for a character to seem silly when it's Mickey Rourke playing him ... unless he's holding a chihuahua in every scene.

haha! it's a good thing that dog died anyway, because Rourke probably would have had it in his contract for that dog to be his sidekick.

They need to continue on pace with staying away from the comic book look of the villain.
Heath's Joker looks nothing like the comic book and had many in this forum upset when it was announced he would be the Joker. So maybe go with a minority actor to play a famous villain.

I didn't think about Michael C. Hall until it was mentioned, but damn, that would be great!

OK, so it's now:
Miley Cyrus - Batgirl

If Bale scremas at Miley for texting on set, I will watch the movie 10 times in theaters for him.
