Christopher Nolan, writer and director of 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight,' has revealed the title of the third film in the Batman trilogy: 'The Dark Knight Rises.' And in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Nolan also discussed which villains won't be getting any screen time in the upcoming film."It won't be the Riddler," Nolan said. He has also previously ruled out Mr. Freeze and the Penguin making any appearances. E!Online.com also reports that the director has been meeting with actresses in their 20s and 30s--maybe trying to cast Catwoman?
"We'll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we'll be introducing some new ones," he said. That might include 'Inception' actor Tom Hardy, who's reportedly in talks to play one of the leads opposite Christian Bale's Batman. No word on whether he'd be playing a good guy or bad guy.
In the interview, Nolan also talked about the fact his film wouldn't be shot in 3D but instead will use HD technology and IMAX cameras.

Well, they've effectively eliminated a lot of the most fun villains.

Look forward to the new movie. Isn't Harvey Dent (now Two Face) supposed to be a villian in the new one? Must not remember Dark Knight very well, only saw it once but I thought that movie made it seem like he would be the next (or one of the next) new villians. Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, can someone clear it up? Thanks.

He died in the last movie. How can he be back?
Oh, you know how no one ever has to REALLY be dead in movies and television.
"the audience will find the caped crusader on the run from the very people he's saved from evil.">>>>>Two-Face.

If they are interviewing women why do I have a feeling Poison Ivy is going to be in this movie. I am kinda bummed about the Riddler not being in the movie.

It better not be Jolie as Catwoman that would be so lame!

As long as they style Poison Ivy in the same style as the Arkham Asylum video game...delish :)

JP-Harvey Dent was in DARK KNIGHT but got killed off towards the end so he won't be showing up in this one. Too bad no Riddler, but since I think Nolan did such a masterful job on both Batman films (especially the 2nd one), I am willing to let him do what he wants with this one. If nothing else, it will be a visual treat.

I still say cast Helena Bonham Carter as Harley Quinn to seek revenge on Batman for what he did to The Joker...just saying.

I realize I am in the minority here but I didn't care for the Dark Knight or Batman Begins. I just don't think Christian Bale is right for the part. He is so stiff and two-dimsional, but then again they have always been bad at casting actors to play Batman.

No riddler then I have no use for the movie. He was always my favorite batman villan. Although Jim Carrey didn't do the character any favors but still I know Nolan could do wonders casting the role.

Saw the first movie. Thought it was pretty good. So much was made out of Heath Ledger as Joker that I decided to skip the film. I may go see the 3rd movie once it's released.

Nolan's batman universe has no place for the cheesy villains like riddler or penguin, and if he did do them they would be nothing like you remember them being. He's always stated his batman is the only superhero in his world and it is as real world as possible. You may even see some characters the main stream has never seen, like "hush", the "in the know" crowd does think catwoman is a strong possibility but you never know.

i thought i read somewhere that nolan confirmed that he was going to have Killer Croc as one of the villians...

No Riddler?! That sucks. I'm not as excited now.

Of course it's going to be Catwoman. When they killed Rachel (which was AWESOME by the way, he made a choice that was, at the time, better for society than for himself) it was obviously to set up Catwoman. And if he's running from the people he's protecting from evil, Catwoman isn't evil. I bet he saves her and then has to deal with her theiving. I just pray it won't be Megan Fox.
