Why does it matter? Not like we literally decide the villains. I'd personally would like the Catwoman back in. While I didn't like the whole Rachel insertions cuz...well...I dunno..it seems like ALL superhero flicks have them. Batman's the off and on again guy...in fact..his most stable relationships are with the woman most like him.

sir unsworth... hehehe

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Black Mask would be cool...I'm more for any obscure Batman villain. I just can't stand any of Batman's famous villains - Penguin, Clayface, Poison Ivy, Bane, Killer Croc, Catwoman, Riddler...I'm sure Nolan can transform these cheesy villains into cool villains though.

I think Deadshot and Harley Quinn should be the next two villains. They are obscure and cool. Harley Quinn is a more interesting character than Catwoman at least...

I'm surprised that Tim Burton never used Harley Quinn in his two Batman films. That's his type of girl - crazy, wacky looking, and hot.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I'm pretty sure Harley Quinn wasn't introduced until after Batman Returns. It was at least in production.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Well, Batman Returns came out in June of '92.. Batman: The Animated Series (where Harley Quin made her debut) didn't premiere until September 1992.. so obviously there's no way that Burton could have used her.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

hrrrrmmm...that's interesting...I didn't know she originated from the cartoon and not the comic book. Thanks for that info!:)

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I'm not sure aliens would be the best follow-up to the realistic, grounded world Nolan has created.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Yeah, that's pretty stupid.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I think we need a Batman vs. Freddy movie. Yep.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Wolverine vs Freddy first!

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Same with Renee Montoya, who was introduced in the animated series and then jumped over to comics. Of course, the animated one wasn't a lesbian who was outed by Two-Face and then became the Question.

Tennant as the Riddler would be a nice choice.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I'd be at the midnight showing...

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

That looks like Daniel Radcliffe in the picture. I'm guessing it's not but who is David Tennant?

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I'm pretty sure he's the latest Dr. Who. I know I've seen that pic in someone's sig.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

And from the looks of that fan poster, Kristen Bell as Catwoman! :)

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

That's who I thought it was too at first glance. :lol:

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I think if anything the poster implies Marion Cotillard as Catwoman. Belle seems more suited as a new love interest or (god help us) Batgirl...
At least thats my take

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

That was what I assumed as well.

I have faith in Nolan that whatever character and actor he picks to play them will be great.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Hmm... Marion Cotillard isn't a bad choice for Catwoman. The rest no way in hell.

I think they should try and get Sean Penn for the Riddler.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Wonder if they'll ever consider using the Joker again?

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Why not? Ledger was not the fucking end all be all for the Joker. Hundreds of different artists have drawn the Joker in hundreds of different ways over the years. Acting is no different.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

How about Batman not being in the next Batman film? If Peter Sellers can star in a Pink Panther movie without actually being in the film, then Batman can do that as well!
