I'm pretty sure they said it was only going to be a trilogy, but you never know... as for villians, there are really only two that I'd suggest and they would work perfectly in the same film: Hugo Strange and Hush. Both know how to hurt Batman were it hurts and both can do it in the grim, realistic style Nolan is going for. Red Hood would work too, but without the Jason Todd build up, I couldn't see it paying off.
Villians confirmed for next Batman movie.

Hathaway may have the acting ability but I really don't think that she has the right look for the role. She is too thin, pale and also kinda creepy looking.
When the list of potential actresses was announced I had her as the option I least hoped would be the person picked, and that was out of a pretty poor selection. Although Keira Knightley was a pretty close second.

Yeah, she's just as thin....
On the other hand:
You do remember just how terrible that film was?
J
Jiarn
No? Blade 2 was terrible.

Wrong thread bro.
I don't know. I'd rather see that in this thread than the current topic.
Think about it. If Link is against Batman, that must mean that Batman is going to be the holder of the Triforce of Power.
Does that mean Anne Hathaway has the Triforce of Wisdom?
Man, that movie was awful and everyone involved should be ashamed...but fuck, give me an athletic chick that I can "wrestle" with for hours like that and....I'm done.
I think Catwoman's goals and ideals will be too far from Link's for her to be a Triforce holder, but Nolan may surprise me.

Katie Holmes played a helpless nobody. It was good casting.
The same thing went for Jake Gyllenhaal when he took over the role.
Who had waaay too much screen-time for someone as uninteresting and un-nuanced as her performance. And, no, it wasn't.
Some thoughts:
Everyone is, of course, entitled to his/her own opinion, however, you haven't seen what Nolan has planned for these characters yet. So i don't really get the, 'figure' dilemma, or the 'acting skills' dilemma. These are all mold-able qualities that will come together when the director directs the movie. What I feel a lot of you are doing is, in essence, just like standing over an artist as he/she paints. And as the painter grabs a brush to create an image, you say, "oh, damn. wrong brush. This will never turn out." But you have no idea how the artist intends to use the brush/tool/paint to create the image. Just let it happen. You can critique the hell out of the end result. That's fine. That's wanted. But let the director make his damn movie.
I am excited for how the characters will be portrayed. I loved scarecrow the best in the series so far.
Incidentally, a few artists jammed out with a Nolan themed batman rogues gallery yearsssss ago. Trying to think of a more gritty way to display batman villains. It was really awesome sauce jamming. I wish i would've saved all the art. Here's my version of clayface, someone i'd lovvvvvvve (<3) to see on the big screen.
The write up for him was something like, 'he's blind, and uses clay feelers to reach out and 'feel'. His head is like a potato sack filled with clay that can morph 'roughly' to display emotions and such. He has no lost daughter he needs to care for. No wife that left him because he's a monster. No sappy backstory. He's just a clay man creepin around gotham killing people and he's really chaotic! Neat! =P

Wut? The Scarecrow was practically a throw-away usage. He didn't live up to any of the potential, he was just a source for the fear gas. They could have used Cornelius Stirk and gotten the exact same effect.
ah man, i really just liked him. In his throw-away usage glory. =)
I'm sorry he didn't meet your potential standards. oh what could have been scarecrow... what could have been?
why do you spell it knolan
i didn't spell it kno...
practice.
i did it for practice.
*edited for the speaker of the hurrrrrrrrr* thankies!

Here's what I want to know:
Why does it even HAVE to be a known villain? I realize the fan service behind having someone familiar but these sort of things always seem to occur when they do this. Why not make an entirely NEW villain that Batman hasn't met a thousand times and bring them in? You know what I'd like to see? A guy a lot like Batman, just evil. Imagine another guy with seemingly unlimited resources and brilliance then take away his aversion to killing.
He could even dress exactly like the Batman to confuse the authorities and make an enemy out of him. Why always have to retread old paths?

Red Hood was a bit like that (animated movie anyway) and it worked out awesome.
I wouldn't mind seeing something like that, though I'm sure it's been done before in the comic series at some point.

Because they've done that multiple times in the comics.
Except you just described Hush in a nutshell. Or Ra's al Ghul. Or Azrael. Or Red Hood. Or...

Azrael would have been amazing!
There are other stand-by's that can be brought to the film franchise.
