Oh,I almost forgot,Angelina Jolie should be Poison Ivy.But Batman 3 comes out in 2011 and this year,she was in Wanted.And the sequel comes out in 2011.(Wanted 2)

I think it should be Eddie Murphy as The Riddler,Kirsten Dunst as Catwoman,Jack Black as The Penguin,Tobey Maguire as Mr.Freeze,Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter,Robert Downey Jr. as Bane,Mike Myers as Black Mask,Wallace Shawn as Clayface,and Ben Stiller as Killer Croc.So,ummmmmmmmmmmmmm,what do you guys think?hm? Tell me what you think starting today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

johnny Depp as The riddler and Jack Black as The penguin. Dont call me crazy but they seem like they can pull it off

Ewan McGregor- The Riddle sinister
Hilary Swank- The cute but deadly Ivy
Black mask- could be any or some one else
Now Jessica Alba(if allowed from Marvel) she shoud appear as catwoman being more or less as a opening scene, where she is in a crime of stealing a jewel or somethin then all the sudden the Cape Crusader comes and uses self defense moves when she attacks with her razor blade claws.. i think it would be a sweet opening to get the party statrted and a attention getter...

Paul Giamatti as the Mad Hatter

Helena Bonham Carter as Poison Ivy

Thats is my ofer.

steve buscemi as Scarface! now that would be intresting. Mob boss with a double personality diorder using a puppet doll creepier than chucky. He wouldn't even have to be a ventriloquist just use the puppet to freak people out. Creative and creepy!

I think Daniel Day-Lewis would be an excellent choice for the role of the Mad Hatter. Personally, I have only one actor in mind to play the Riddler, and that's David Bowie. He previously worked with Christopher on 'The Prestige' (playing the part of Nikola Tesla). Also, I believe that Bob Hoskins would be a fabulous choice for the Penguin, but I absolutely can't see Jack Black in the role.

Jeremy Piven as the Mad Hatter...

I think they need a bevy of villains to throw gotham into chaos. Some minor. Some more prominant. Villians should/could include ONLY those that were created in the comic books. Possibilities include:

Mr. Zsasz - Michael Emerson, Jackie Earle Haley (already working with DC on Watchmen)
Anarky - Elisha Cuthbert, Jena Malone
Hush - Leonardo di Caprio, Matt Damon
Hugo Strange - Mos Def, Clive Owen
Dr. Death - Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin
Talia al Ghul - Carla Gugino, Rose McGowan

I also think that catwoman should probably be in the third installment. She is the staple batman villain behind Joker. Also, it seemed to (maybe) allude to a possible catwoman appearance in the Dark Knight when Fox tells Bruce that his new armor will fend of cats. It could work if someone really good like Scarlett Johansson or Rachel McAdams did it.

Needless to say, I think Phillip Seymour Hoffman may have been born to play Nolan's penguin.

Finally, Daniel Day Lewis and Javier Bardem are perfect villains, and I think Ryan Gosling would be an AWESOME Riddler (but Rachel McAdams probably couldn't play catwoman in the same picture).

I don't know, food for thought I guess.

I think that the Riddler would be the way to go with tying in another villain as they did with Ra Ah Gul and Scarecrow and Carmine Falcone and then with The Joker and Two-Face and Sal Maroni. It would be cool if they had the Riddler tied in with maybe the Mad Hatter or even Man-bat. Man-bat would be a huge stretch because it would require a lot of cgi, which apparently christopher nolan hates to use.

It would also be cool if they had Boss Zucco as the mob boss villain and introduced Dick Grayson, but never show Robin and just have Dick Grayson in the helping out from the sidelines role as Lucious Fox did.

i think that steve carell should play the mad hatter

u know what im gonna go head and say it. i think a black women should play poison ivy. I think that alicia keys would play a good poison ivy.

Wow, sorry saw this bulletin and had to say something. Clayface is not totally unrealistic, just needs to be reimagined, after all he's a master of disguise actor, which isn't totally out of the ordinary as the Matt Hagen character. But in the graphic novel Arkham Asylum, he's portrayed as more like someone with a horrible skin disease rather than a gooey version of Spiderman's sandman and the T-1000. Guy Pearce is too bad*** as a riddler though he was good as Warhol, so I can see it. Ryan Gosling doesn't really look the part, too young I'd guess. I don't see Ewan McGreagor but I heard that they were going to set up Anthony Michael Hall, as the Riddler ? though he's the reporter in Knight so I doubt it. The Penguin was already rumored as Bob Hoskins. Philip Seymore Hoffman I can see, Jack Black, no chance in hell. Hillary Swank doesn't have the exact sex appeal for the part, Angelina Jolie might be too distracting because well SHE'S ANGELINA JOLIE, so I'd see an unknown or serious makeup playtime so it wouldn't take an audience out of the story. Um the mad hatter is very short, and awkward, non of those actors come close to fitting, though Joaquin is good at playing a kind of whimsical madman who thinks he's in love (gladiator) Ian Holm would be more fit for this part. Black mask, come on, he's a guy in a ****ing mask, you don't need an A list celebrity for this one, same as the didn't need one for Zsasz in Begins. Those are all great actors, but is this really a list in speculation of people Nolan's worked with, who are A list and academy nominees as oppose to who'd be most right for the part ? Killer Croc is also not out of reach in terms of realism, there's an actual rare skin disorder where people develop scales, he can be an underground wrestler who files his teeth, wrestling ring owned by the mob. Tada! Mr. Freeze is just barely dueable, if he's re-imagined like the cartoon did. (*Emmy winning episode) Catwoman would be too distracting. A No Man's Land adapt.

another riddler could be christian slater, his natural voice is just so sinister.

Why not Baby Doll? She's an incredibly underrated villain, and any writing staff could make a juicy storyline out of her.

Catwoman/ Selena Kyle - Kate Beckinsale
The Penguin as a british arms delaer - Phillip Seymour Hoffman
The Riddler/ Edward Nashton - David Tennant or Paul Bettany
Harley Quinn/ Dr. Harleen Quinzel - Helena Bonham Carter, Scarlett Johansson
The Mad Hatter/ Jervis Tetch - Paul Dano
Talia al Ghul - Jennifer Connelly, Natalie Portman
Poison Ivy/ Dr. Pamela Isely - Rachel Weisz, Hilary Swank

two-face is in batman 3 movie, but y want Queen to take revenge on batman for the joker while in two-face gang helping him distroy the city.

In the mean time cach up to Black Mask story. That would be a great movie.

First of all if riddler was to be made please use Guy pearce he is a phenomanal actor who isnt seen enough, don't forget his amazing performance in momento.

But there is a better villian: I personally believe that the firefly was an amazing pyromaniac enemy of batman. Although Nolan i am sure would mold him out of his over-the-top metal jet suit, a sadistic and murderous pyromaniac who loves to quote: "watch the world burn"- would make a perfect villian and i think he deserves a look

I love the Ryan Gosling suggestion for the Riddler! And the Zodiac idea! (That's just what I was thinking- it's like you guys are in my head!)

I don't think Bane (Nathan Jones? Michael Clarke Duncan?) is a long shot at all. He's a primo Bat-villain who needs to be re-imagined the right way. Just as smart and cunning as his idol, Batman- but 5 times as strong. He'd work alot better than Poison Ivy (Amy Adams? Isla Fisher?) would in Chris Nolan's universe.

For Mad Hatter, how about Paul Giamatti or Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins)?

Mr. Freeze (Alan Arkan? Christopher Lloyd?) would be the toughest incarnation (ice suits and ray guns?), but his tragic origin story is the most deserving of the big screen. If anyone could figure out a way to make him realistic, Nolan can.

Ok, after seeing the movie.

I want to see Heath's Joker in a sequel =( They are destined to do this forever!

btw dragonlord, don't worry you will get your Two-Face... All in good time...

what about Two Face. He was always my faviort. Tommy did well but they could use a more evil actor for the part.

I believe the ventriloquist would be a good character to throw into Nolan's Batman universe.

Although she is a more recent character, I would love to see an adaptation of the Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn from the animated series. She would need an overhaul from her bumbling portrayal, but it would be cool to see her as a revenge character or even some kind of copycat. Still, she should not be the primary enemy.

Daniel Day Lewis for Mad Hatter!

I also agree with the Philip Seymour Hoffman for penguin as well.

Philip Seymour Hoffman Should play the penguin, he would be perfect for the role.
