I dunno.  I'm not sure Catwoman would work in the Nolan Batman series.  Maybe if she was really close to how she was portrayed in Batman: Year One. 

I personally would love to see Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya in the next one.  I think they, out of all the Batman characters, would work really well in the Nolan movies.  Here's how I see it: Gordon, needing to keep up the appearance of hunting down Batman following his being accused of the crimes actually committed by Harvey Dent, decides to form a special unit dedicated to bringing Batman to justice, and puts at its head Sergeant Harvey Bullock, who recently trasferred to Gotham from Chicago.  Bullock, a 15 year veteran, is teamed up with rookie Detective Renee Montoya, who was promoted to Detective a couple of months earlier.  Bullock takes his job of hunting down the Batman very seriously, almost too seriously, while the idealistic Montoya is convinced of his innocence.  What do you think?

Jolie would be a terrible choice.  Too much star power and it would just be her in skin-tight clothes.  Eliza Dushku would be great, though.  She can act, she has already proven herself in the bad girl role, and she's the right age range.  Ellen Page I don't really see fitting the role.  But I personally hope the next movie centers around Riddler.

Yeah, personally I would love to see Nolan's take on the Riddler. He would be very dark and sinister. I see him playing out like the highly intelligent, computer hacking Riddler from BTAS, but much more violent and dark. That would be a great show.

It's a shame that most of the Batman villains who are "cool" have already been horribly butchered by the original round of Batman movies, because now thinking about them being in these movies makes me nervous - not because I don't think Nolan can pull them off or because the villains now have a kind of a stain to them (although they do!), but more because I don't want it to feel like there's noone else to choose from.

I'd like to see how Nolan deals with some of the more obscure villains, or some of the really outrageous ones. Now that CGI is easily available in high quality, I think a Clayface would be awesome, if done right. Although now that I say that, some people might not like it because he's a little like Sandman. I'd hate for people to draw comparisons to THOSE stinking pile of movies. The Mad Hatter, Firefly, or Scarface would also be cool. Or if they wanted to go another angle, bringing The Reaper back would be really awesome (if Nolan was willing to live "outside" of the accepted storyline from the comics). Maybe Batman could "redeem" himself with the city by hunting down and stopping the even more violent vigilante.

Agreed.  Nolan could make him more along the lines of serial killers or criminals like BTK or the Zodiac Killer in his leaving of notes and clues for investigators and Batman.   (but not quite as brutally bloodthirsty as either of those serial killers)

No damn Catwoamn damnit.

Sorry I just think she's a terrible choice of a character no mater who plays her, especially since there are better female characters in the Batman universe.

Seconded, er thirded, that's exactly how i imagined The Riddler in Nolan's Gotham.

Actually though instead of Depp, I was thinking of again going with somebody from the Commonwealth, somebody who might have Courtney first in line for tickets.

I saw the Batman special they recently played on the History channel, and one of the things that really made me think was, in fact, drawing comparisons between the Riddler and Ted Bundy.  The incurable narcissist that NEEDS to leave evidence behind craving the attention and acknowledgment for his crimes.

Tennant is reportedly being considered.  I'd camp out.

Get out! I just came up with that myself during the credits, did I absorb it via osmosis or something?

I think he'd be ace, he's actually quite good at evil :)

Doctor Who?

I think the Riddler may be a little too much like the Joker to be used in the very next movie,I think people would compare whoever plays him unfairly to Ledger.

I like the idea of Scarface.

Just think how scary a Nolan version of him could be.

Chaos

Now we just need to figure out a nerdy, grey-haired, balding effeminate loser to play the ventriloquist. Thoughts?

HHmm that is tough one.

Maybe  David Tennant in a bald cap?

Dim of the Yard

No!  Me!  I'll do it!  Prosthetics, make-up, and CGI worked well for Aaron Eckhart, so why can't it make me look grey-haired, balding, and slightly male?

Chaos

Actually, I always thought in keeping with the theme of the ventriloquist being a complete non-entity as far as Scarface was concerned, it would be better to get some complete nobody to play him.

You know, some of the Batman villains are really damn goofy.
