Before I completely geek out, I have to share hot off the presses that Christopher Nolan is ready to launch into the Dark Knight Rises or Batman 3 - But no Riddler.
He has stated that most definitely there will be no Riddler. What villian could he possibly be thinking of?
Could it be the Mad Hatter? Can't be Catwoman because he's chosen Tom Hardy to star as the next villian. This is gonna be interesting.

I wouldn't rule out Catwoman entirely. He hasn't said who Hardy would play, and there have been multiple villains in the prior two films. They havn't even said for sure that Hardy will be a villain. He could just as well be the new DA.
And they are currently casting a large female role. Could be Catwoman, could be someone else entirely (I think Talia Al Ghul is a likely candidate). The Batman-On-Film site, which has gotten most of the early casting scoops since Begins was in pre-production, says that Catwoman is likely, but not locked. We shall see.
As to other villains (as I doubt Catwoman would be the only one even if she does appear), I would expect someone like Black Mask, Bane or Hush - all guys that have a symbolic parallel with Bruce/Batman, and can be easily tied to the mob, which I expect to co0ntinue to be a heavy influence.

Why does catwoman need to be female? Maybe batman will come out of the...cave in the next movie. Now that would get some press.

Names ("Catman") - and costumes, really - would be too similar. Generally you avoid confusing the audience about two major characters.

That's pretty much a given since she was "blowed up real good" in TDK.

I'm with you Bytemite, "Catman" just sounds wrong.

Really.
I won't even look at it if she's in it.
I'd own TDK, except, well, SHE'S in it!!!
Did I mention I can't stand her?

Yeah, can't rule anything out with Nolan at the helm.

What's so wrong with her? Other than her face looking like she was repeatedly dropped as a child? The rest of her is decent at least. Still no Katie Holmes but what can ya do? She kinda married a psychotic who wouldn't let her work on good movies anymore.
