Clearly you've never seen "One Hour Photo" or "Insomnia" if you think Williams won't fit in a "serious" villain role.
I have seen "One Hour Photo," but I never really accepted him in that role. Perhaps this is because growing up I only saw him in humorous roles (with the exception of
Good Will Hunting, and still, even in that film he was a "good" guy). I just don't think he fits in a role like Hugo Strange, and I acknowledge that it's probably my own bias. I've also seen
World's Greatest Dad, and I guess I am just used to Robin Williams playing such an integral part in the films that I think he would take the
Dark Knight Rises and turn it into
Mrs. Doubtfire Goes Batsh!t Insane. Yes, Heath Ledger stole the show in
The Dark Knight but he didn't do so as the Heath Ledger that we are (or at least I was) used to seeing. That being said,

I guess it was a rumor in the sense that a bunch of people ran with the idea, but it certainly has no basis in reality. And for that, I'm happy, but Hugo Strange still seems like a good choice, should Nolan decide to announce a third villain.
