Catwoman and Riddler would be good as the 2 enemies in the 3rd film because, like in the Dark Knight, they are 2 extremes that Batman is a balance of. In the Dark Knight, you had the Riddler as the dark that batman could become, but never will and you had Harvey Dent who's the Knight Batman strives to be, but never can. In the 3rd, it would be Catwoman as a (probably almost) extreme of his physical side and the Riddler as the ultimate test of the intelligence/problem solving side.
Casting-wise, Catwoman would be hard and the only actress I can think of is Summer Glau and I'd be happy with either Leo or Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Johnny Depp can play any role in any film. The guy's an acting genius. I'd love to see him play a Batman villain, but honestly? I bet he could pull off playing Batman himself.
Yeah, Jim Carrey is like a rabid dog. You can't really be sure he'll do what you tell him, and he might attack you when you turn your back.Novskij said:
I was more pointing out that it would be terrible since Tim Burton just keeps doing the same bullshit now. The riddler would spend the entire moving acting like the kiddie fiddler and batman's brooding bullshit would be intolerable. I liked the keaton bat man but christ am I sick of Burton and Depp with their crap.JEBWrench said:
Oh, so this. Look at the wardrobe in Batman Returns, compare it to ANY TIM BURTON MOVIE MADE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. I'm glad people are getting sick of his continual reusing of the same ideas, themes and visuals.manythings said:
Unfortunately there are no end of teenage girls who think that it is somehow deep and meaningful... ugh.Samurai Goomba said:
Nope. Can't see it.
I know people are saying "But Heath Ledger." I seriously thought he'd be good at the role. not as good as he turned out, but still.
I'm just having trouble picturing Di Caprio in this role at all. But hey, maybe Nolan will surprise me.

Doesn't look like the Riddler will be in The Dark Knight Rises: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104781-Nolan-Puts-Official-Title-on-Third-Batman-Flick.
Anyway, I think that Johnny Depp and Jim Carrey could have both pulled it off. Before the movie The Number 23, I couldn't really imagine Jim Carrey in a more-serious kind of role. But after seeing the movie, I think that he could be a good new, more-serious (and darker) Riddler.

On the news that Riddler won't be in it, all I can say is, Good. Now, it's not that I don't like the Riddler as a villain. I actually do. It's a great concept for a villain, especially as someone who makes a good intellectual match for the World's Greatest Detective. But the whole thing with the madness and style of the character reminds me way too much of the Joker. That's the issue I have with it. He's too much like the Joker, just after we got a surprising command performance that will go down as one of the better villain portrayals in cinema. My guess is that a lot of the Riddler talk came from fans who loved Ledger's performance so much that they practically demanded a villain/actor combination that could produce something that "lives up" to that performance.Mad World said:
I would rather see something that more logically fits into the plot of the whole over-arching story at this point, while also choosing villains recognizable enough to casual Batman fans. I don't think Hush, GWS, or Black Mask are known enough, so my vote would have gone to the Penguin, but apparently he's out, too. The other problem is that Nolan doesn't really want to do anything supernatural or scientifically unsound, so we won't get characters like Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc or Clayface, either. I do like the idea of Catwoman in the movie, but I don't really know who I would cast. I wouldn't be surprised by Harley Quinn. In fact, I would guess at this point, considering that we saw so little of Two-Face as a villain in Dark Knight, that the duo of Quinn and Two-Face almost seems to be the most logical. Dent didn't die. The Joker's doctor at Arkham goes insane and falls in love with him and tries to avenge him, and becomes Harley Quinn. Perhaps the Joker even knows where Two-Face was planning to hide and tells her from Arkham so that they could spread more chaos together. Anyway, that's the idea I've got for that.
And I've just got to say this:
That would be LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!BaldursBananaSoap said:
