No Catwoman and Penguin for Batman Begins 3

Despite some denials, I think they may well put Catwoman in the next film (I certainly hope they do) – with Rachel out of the picture, and Bruce more depressed and removed from humanity than ever (”Don’t make me your only hope for a normal life,” Rachel had said to him)… he needs to find someone who he can connect with on an emotional and psychological level. Catwoman would be an ideal match. Ideally, they would start as adversaries and then come to a better understanding of each other (as Catwoman later become a sort of Robin Hood type, noble outlaw)… I’m thinking Kate Beckinsale.

I suppose there is always Talia al Ghul is a possibility.

The Riddler… I would only want to see if it was done properly. It would take a very masterful performance for me to be happy with The Riddler as a choice for the next Batman villain. Perhaps if he wrote his riddles in the blood of slain victims… He needs to be extremely disturbing and creepy… otherwise, it’s just going to be cheesy and gimmicky. If they finally come to their senses and allow Nolan to make an “R” rated Batman, I could get exicted about the Riddler.

It had just occurred to me – just like Batman inspired vigilantes to dress up and fight crime, what if the Joker inspired madmen to let themselves run rampant and express themselves, using death and destruction as their medium and Gotham as their canvas? Perhaps The Mad Hatter could emerge, at first as a sort of “Joker copycat”, but slowly developing his own unique style…

Failing those, I’d like to see Bane done properly.

FIRST OFF LET ME SAY THAT I AM A BIG FAN OF CATWOMAN AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER IN ANOTHER BATMAN MOVIE (NOT AS A MAINE CHARACTER BUT JUST TO BE MENTIONED IN THE THIRD MOVIE, SOMETHING LIKE THE POLICE ARE TRYING TO TRACK A CAT BURGULAR AND GORDON MENTIONS SOMETHING ABOUT IT TO BATMAN (SOMETHING LIKE HES VENTING ABOUT THE MAIN PROBLEM IN THE MOVIE AND AS AN AFTER THOUGHT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT SOME THIEF DRESSED UP LIKE A CAT)OR ALFRED SEE SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN THE NEWS PAPER AND MAKES A COMMENT ABOUT IT, SOMETHING LIKE HOW BATMAN HAS STARTED A COSTUME FAD). JUST THAT WOULD MAKE ME LOVE THE THIRD MOVIE. CATWOMAN DOESN’T EVEN HAVE TO BE IN THE MOVIE JUST MENTIONED IN SOME WAY (AND IF THEY HAPPEN TO MAKE A FOURTH MOVIE LET HER BE IN IT, NOT AS THE MAIN VILLAIN BUT AS A SIDE TYPE OF THING LIKE BRUCE WAYNE MEETS SELINA KYLE MAYBE SHE WORKS AT WAYNE ENTERPRISES BRUCE IS INTERESTED IN HER SOMETHING LIKE THAT
(JUST FOR HER TO BE MENTIONED). BUT HARLEY QUINN SHOULD/HAS TO BE IN THE THIRD BATMAN MOVIE ESPICALY IF THE JOKER IS GOING TO BE IN IT. NO MATER WHAT VILLAINS THEY USE THEIR SHOULD BE A STRONG FEMALE ROLL PLAYED BY SOMEONE, OTHERWISE I THINK SOME FEMALE FANS MIGHT NOT BE AS THRILLED BY IT(NOT SAYING THEY WOULDN’T LIKE IT, JUST SAYING THEY MIGHT NOT CONNECT AS WELL TO THE MOVIE AS THE GUYS WILL. I KNOW THAT I TEND TO LIKE MOVIES BETTER WERE A GIRL KICKS A LITTLE ASS.)

The best explanation for having Catwoman in the next movie. I couldnt say it better myself. Taken from another blog:

“I believe that catwoman will be in the next batman. It makes perfect sense… Nolan will want a strong female character in the film. If you’ve seen the dark knight, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
In the comics, catwoman’s origins started as an abused girl and Frank Miller even portrayed her as a prostitute. I believe that this would fit in well with Nolan’s formula for the batman films. Have her as an abused girl or prostitute who was abused by one of gotham’s criminals or one of the mafia guys. When she become’s catwoman, she is focused on riding gotham of these types of criminals. In the comics, catwoman was sometimes written as a heroine rather than villain and what’s interesting with catwoman is that she follows her own moral code similar to how batman does as well. However, her version of vigilante justice is more extreme than batman’s. Where he does not believing in killing any villain, catwoman believes that this is the only type of justice these criminals deserve. This would serve as the context of the conflict between batman and catwoman.
I also believe that the next batman film will have a strong focus on the character of Bruce Wayne, the man behind the mask. Batman Begins saw Bruce Wayne construct himself into the batman, The Dark Knight focused heavily on the batman, I believe the next film will see Nolan deconstruct batman back down and focus a lot on Bruce. Nolan gave us a glimpse of this in the Dark Knight as he portrayed a Bruce Wayne as someone who was starting to question the purpose and role of masked hero in gotham. Catwoman’s true identity as Selina Kyle would be a perfect fit in the movie to serve as Bruce Wayne’s love interest.
Keeping with the focus on Bruce Wayne, I also believe that the next movie will see Batman face the challenge of trying to protect his real identity as Bruce. Again, the Dark Knight showed us a glimpse of this plot.
If this is the case, I believe the second villain in the next movie will be the Black Mask. He would also fit very well in with Nolan’s formula for villains, dark and gritty. Black Mask would introduce an refreshing and interesting take to the movies. Unlike the other villains who have a vendetta against batman, in the comics, black mask was focused on destroying bruce wayne. This would open up the next film alot since not only will we see batman battle for his life but bruce as well. In the comics, catwoman stole money from the black mask and the two did battle. The next film could also portray catwoman discovering that black mask was the one responsible for ruining the life of Selina Kyle and ultimately giving birth to catwoman.
This would serve as the focus of the battles between batman and the two villains. Batman faces his greatest challege yet as he battles a villain who is serving her own brand of vigilante justice and a gotham crime boss who threatens the live’s of the city’s people and that of Bruce wayne.”

I personally think Eva Green would be a good casting choice for this
