Day One

So, I've actually got some followers on this thing? That was unexpected...

Anyway, on to matters.
As you should know by now, the finale to the Dark Knight Saga has been titled The Dark Knight Rises, as of yet, I'm undecided on whether I like it or not.
The more important news however is that auditions and interviews are being held for two female leads.
One is presumed to be a love interest, the other an antagonist... No word yet though on whether this antagonist is one of Batman's rogues. Remember that in these Nolan films, everything is pretty gritty and down to earth, so that probably discounts Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn is more than likely out, (as she's a bit of a flat character without The Joker to play off of.)
So that pretty much leaves either Catwoman (my preferred choice if done well), and Talia al Ghul (Daughter of R'has, could possibly be out to avenge her father).
The other option is to have a female Police Detective leading the search for Batman (Remember, at the end of The Dark Knight Batman is a wanted man), this, I think, is unlikely though, as they'll want Gary Oldman to have plenty of screen time as Commisioner Gordon...
The really big news is the list of actresses they've announced so far. Prepare yourselves:

• Kiera Knightly
• Natelie Portman
• Anne Hathaway
• Rachel Weisz
• Blake Lively
• Naomi Watts

That's quite an list of big-names there. I think Ms.Lively can be discounted though, as she's already playing Carol Ferris in the upcoming Green Lantern movie, and DC are probably unwilling to have an internal conflict of interests.

To hopefully start an interesting comment fight, who do you think should be the main villain (and possibly side villain) for Dark Knight Rises? Personally I'm hoping for Black Mask to sweep in and control the gangs, which are in a bit of chaos right now, and have Deadshot as his hitman... Would you prefer The Riddler? Penguin? Maybe a reality-checked Killer Croc? Voice your opinions my dear readers.

Over and Out.
