catwomans a very cheesy and horrible villainess to begin with i wouldnt be able to bare to see her again after that disasterpiece "Catwoman" came out,and riddler could possibly work but they need the right actor and the right story for him to fit in,it'd be interesting to see how Nolan have his take on the riddler,and i really hope they dont replace Ledger,its not necessary,we're all well aware what happens to the joker in TDK and that should be the end of it since Heath passed away,rest his soul. he gave the best performance of the Joker an actor could give and replacing him would be like when they replaced Brandon Lee in the Crow series

Catwoman could be a great character when she has a great writer behind her. Don't judge her by that dreadful Halle Berry Cat-tastrophe. Burton made her interesting back in Batman Returns. Catwoman carries her own comic series, and it's quite good actually. But frankly I'm not all for her in Batman 3. But I would be more interested in Wayne and Selina Kyle's relationship. I really think the Riddler should be a shoe in for Batman 3. He's the thinking man of Batman rogues gallery. And with Nolan's previous projects like The Prestige, Memento, and Insomnia, it shows he's great at psychological thrillers and throwing in twists. So The Riddler would not only be great story wise, but his look is realistic like Nolan's Gotham i.e. A man in a green suit.
Oh, and I agree that Ledger shouldn't be replaced and they should just move on. The reason Brandon Lee was "replaced" as The Crow was because The Crow isn't one man. Every crow story is about a Crow bringing the soul back to an undead person who died unrighteously to exact revenge on those who wronged him. Sort of along the lines of Highlander or The Phantom. They change.
None of these castings rumors are true cause no one has even talked to Chris Nolan about the script.
Yeah, Nolan isn't even thinking about it right now. He is taking a break. I imagine he'll begin actually working on it next year if he can come up with an idea that would make a third entry worthwhile.
NEWSFLASH FOR ALL GEEKS - TWO-FACE = DEAD. Thats it. Hes dead. Deal with it. Hes not coming back I dont care how badly you want it, hes dead. You got that? Dead.
People who think the Joker and Riddler are too alike obviously aren't familiar with how Riddler has been written lately in the comics and graphic novels. They seem to only know the made up Tim Burton Riddler which is just Jim doing an over the top Gorshin impression
The real Riddler isn't all that hands on, hes not as in the open and laying down the law to the mafia crazy. He isn't trying to destroy the entire city to prove some point about the hopelessness of Gotham.
Joker is straight Looney Tunes. Maybe people didn't agree with Heath's look, but he nailed the Joker in the way he behaved.
Riddler is a genius and a whole differant kind of crazy. Hes far more reserved then Jims semi-retarded Mask impersination and for that matter then the Joker. Riddler is even more mysterious then Joker, he operates in the shadows, he uses his brain instead of rocket launchers and 18 wheelers.
Like I said alot before, Catwoman is sexy as hell but a bad idea, Two-Face and Penguin and Bane will not happen so don't get your hopes up. They aren't threatening enough to carry a sequel against Joker. Nolan already said no Catwoman, he isnt Sam Raimi and going to sumbit to some dumb fan pressure to ruin a sequel like Sam did with Venom.
Hush and Riddler. It will work, it can be as good as Joker, just as deadly, and a differant kind of feel. If you don't believe me go read Hush right now, go ahead Ill wait. If you really know Batman comics and the sources Nolan has drawn from, you cannot deny that with the situation Bats is in right now in the Nolan-verse(a criminal on the run trying to conceal his identity) these villains are perfect. Add Harvey Bullock and maybe Hugo Strange. Add the new Batcave and new Batmobile. Dark Knight can be topped, maybe not in ticket sales, but in quality. "You'll see, I'll show you."
I just picked up Hush because of this post. I'm halfway through the arc...
What are you retarded? Are you dense or something? This ain't the goddamn Batman!
UGH! Goddamn Super-dog? Really? And a new ****ing villain introduced every page it seems; this thing is a bloody mess of confused mythologies and the summer blockbuster, bigger is better syndrome. Ugh. And the real tragedy of all of this is that the artwork is absolutely beautiful. Damn shame the story is such an unmitigated mess.
...I will finish it because I've started it. But it brings me no joy. This is one of the worst comic arcs I've ever had the displeasure to read. Truly awful.
The folks over at CinemaBlend.com came across an article by The Daily Telegraph claiming Warner Bros. is eyeing Cher as Michelle Pfeiffer's successor and the next to don Catwoman's infamous leather catsuit for the "The Dark Knight" sequel.
WARNER BROTHERS has confirmed a third Batman adventure and a Superman reboot as well as plans to develop films for every DC comicbook character it owns, building towards a Justice League team-up movie.
Quote:
It will release four superhero films in the next three years, including a follow-up to The Dark Knight.
Cher? As Catwoman...different. And a terrible idea.
But hey, new Batman movie in three years is exciting. I hope that the quality doesn't suffer trying to meet that deadline. But, hey, we can't all have 19 years to perfect a movie.
The British Telegraph newspaper said that director Christopher Nolan reportedly wants Cher to play the whip-wielding cat burglar as "a vamp in her twilight years".
I can MAYBE see "a vamp in her twilight years." Maybe. But Cher? Not that I hate her, but she's just not what people are expecting. I think ultimately people will be disappointed.
A lot of people at first were opposed to Ledger playing the Joker. After some pictures came out, people complained about the costume not being right. But, from what I gather, Ledger stayed true to the essence of the Joker. He stayed true to the comic book character.
Now, perhaps there is a comic about Catwoman when she's older, but is it really what the summer flick crowd wants to see? The film's sex symbol being played by an aging singer/star? It'll disappoint. I mean, come one, people didn't think Gyllenhaal was cute enough to play the love interest, can you imagine the reaction to Cher?
Warner are waiting for Christopher Nolan to come up with a story and a plan, but the studio have said that he is taking a well deserved break and is on vacation.
Quote:
Charles Rovan, producer of The Dark Knight has said “he comes back; we will see how he feels.” Until Nolan returns we will just have to read all the rumors as to what the story will be as well as who the cast will be.
The Cher as Catwoman rumor is the stupidest ****ing thing I've heard in a long time. If that were to end up happening (which it won't, but if it did), I won't be able to tell if the weird creaking sound is coming from Catwoman's leather costume or Cher's creaky old hip joints.
Seriously, just because Cher is a "cougar", she shouldn't even be considered for Catwoman (rumor or not). Stupid.
