Harley Quinn?
Poison Ivy?

I'd bet on one of them being Talia al Ghul

Talia al Ghul or Catwoman sound like the most probable choices to me. After Ledger, I don't think Nolan wants the next movie to have a female Joker. And Poison Ivy is too fantastical to fit Nolan's "realistic" (read: boring) idea of Batman's world. Talia al Ghul would tie the last movie to the first movie without Nolan sacrificing his "realistic" vision by actually resurrecting Ras. On the other hand, Catwoman is obviously much more iconic and well-known.

Are there any other notable female Batman villains?

Are you really that unfamiliar with the mating rituals of small towns?

Bored to Dark Knight: a minor writer in Gotham's trendiest neighbourhood struggling with his second novel finds inspiration in the longboxes left behind when his girlfriend moves out. "It is an omen," he says, "I shall become a bat." With the help of his socially frustrated sidekick and a hedonistic police commissioner, as well as liberal doses of white wine and weed, Batman lists his services as an unlicensed vigilante on Craigslist.

Night Dark Knight: The Erotic Confessions of a Jilted Sidekick

by Dick Grayson

(Includes "I Know Why Caged Robins Sing" and "Caged Heat: The Bat, The Cat, and The Bird")

Hey! You know that dumpy guy with the beard who was like a follower of Batman or something, going all vigilante in a homemade batsuit but with guns (booooooo) until he got hauled off by the police back in the first act of THE DARK KNIGHT, right? He looks like that guy behind the counter at your comic book shop who told you "You gotta read THE BOYS!"

WELL, BRUCE WAYNE SHOULD DIE AND THAT GUY SHOULD BE THE NEW DARK KNIGHT.

the dark knight starring will ferrell

xpost that dude done got kilt by the Joker.

Well, hell.

ANYWAY: Those guys in the cutaways at the climax of BATMAN BEGINS who are like fiddling with stuff and looking at computers in a very "OMG THIS THING'S HAPPENING AND SO'S THIS THING AND EVERYTHING'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE OR SOMETHING AND WHAT'S TO BE DONE? EXPOSITION!" - y'know, it was all obviously a second-unit thing, damn near b-movie-ish, kinda like the PC POLICE scene in Hawks' version of SCARFACE?

THOSE GUYS SHOULD SHOW UP AGAIN FOR SOME REASON IN THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.

The Dark Knight of the Lepus

"There's a herd of killer Batmen coming this way."

I'm kind of in love with The Dark Knight Clause, where Tim Allen plays a neglectful father who is magically turned into Batman and has to become filled with the spirit of vengeance in order to bring a smile to his son's face. With Chris Elliott as Robin.

batman v. grinderman.

nick cave looks like a comic book villain.

Perhaps J-G Levitt will play the Riddler as Nick Cave just as Depp did the Keith Richards pirate fellow.

good a reason as any

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yes this is where the batman franchise should go.

can't really get into superhero costumes with hair that tall imo.

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, Tom Hardy as Bane, sez Hollywood Reporter: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/heat-vision/anne-hathaway-cast-catwoman-dark-73418

not surprised

well I still think they shoulda gone with Maggie as Catwoman but whatever

Surely Bane is a surprise? I guess Nolan could do something cool with the character though.

i can't wait to not see this

It will depend on the trailer for me.

stoked

Surely Bane is a surprise?

not really, he's one of the few non-supernatural/crazy powers-ish options (the others being the Penguin or Catwoman. after that you get into some pretty silly minor characters)

Sounds cool! Can't wait to see this Cool Movie.

tho i just read bane's wikipedia entry (only being familiar with him from the back-breaking thing), and i guess it seems like he's a bit of a blank slate, at least for the film? he's basically just opposite-batman: hyper-intelligent, super-fit, but a bad guy. and not a lunatic. curious to see how nolan styles the character

I see the backlash is already in full swing, but I'm excited to see this. I'm not sure how well Anne Hathaway will fit into Nolan's universe, I haven't seen much beyond Rachel Getting Married that leads me to believe she can do "dark" but we'll see. At the very least she'll be better than Mrs Tom Cruise (what is it with Nolan and horrible casting decisions for female characters? Juno was an AWFUL choice for Inception too), but I'm willing to give her a chance because I have a hueg crush on her and would like to see her in a Catwoman outfit. Bane could be really cool. I'm still excited. These are much better rumors than the ones involving Johnny Depp, for sure.
