The Dark Knight Rises pt.1

For what is intended to be the final chapter (like that's ever true for any film series), Christopher Nolan's given his third Batman film an odd title. One might think he may have changed his mind, since he had originally stated not only would it be his last Batman film, it would also be the end of the character's story. I guessing he must have decided to do the smart thing and let it have an open-ending.

Now for characters:
No Joker (the TDK version sucked anyway)
No Riddler (Considering how many people wanted an Ledgeresque effeminate actor [cough Depp cough] that's for the best)
Catwoman has been rumored and allegedly is being cast. Personally I hope they giver black hair, so Kate Beckinsale, Sienna Guillory, or Bianca Beauchamp would all look great with black hair and look beautiful and ferocious as Catwoman. But please no Halle Berry that Batman Returns Catwoman spin-off was god awful.

I've also seen numerous fake posters for Harley Quinn, so to every who keeps making those: Stop. Not only is the character overrated, she's not even a main villain character. She's a lackey, Joker's punching bag or Poison Ivy's little pal or occasional bitch for when she's feeling horny (any one slightly as creeped out as I am) and can't get the the only other human being she cares about or loves in her own, Batman. And Ivy would probably not be in the film.

I've also posters for Talia Al Ghul, she is mentioned in Dennis O'Neil's Batman Begins novelization, but I doubt it, the story's been too fucked up for her to show. Wouldn't count on her dear old dad to reappear either, though it would a nice if they both showed up.

Bane; very unlikely, especially with Nolan's alleged "realistic" Batman.
Mr. Freeze was also ruled out. And I wouldn't count on Killer Croc, even though he appeared in Gotham Knight.
