POSTERS

Catwoman is a joke and has been done time and time again. I dont think Catwoman could survive in Nolan's Gotham City. AND it would be an insult to the Dark Knight to put something as ridiculous as Batgirl. If they do Robin or Batgirl I will stop watching. Nolan is a genius, but those characters do not fit in his world. Stick with the Riddler (Jonny Depp) and Harley Quinn. And I agree...Kristin Bell seems like a good choice. However can she follow in Heath Ledgers Joker footsteps?

.... I have no words for how awesomely fantastically thrilled i would be if David Tennant aka the Doctor as the Riddler.... no words...

whatever they try for the next episode, it is going to fall far short of Heath Ledger' show stealing performance as the Joker....going back to BS like Catwoman will lose fans and $$$...to find a villian that can hold the adult atmosphere created by TDK is going to be a chore indeed...I really dont think they can do it...jmo....

David Tennant is a great choice for Riddler casting. Kristen Bell is a good choice only because she would still look hot in the Jester outfit! I dont know if she could cut it in the acting department though, but I thought the same thing when I first heard that Ledger was cast as the Joker...

I don't think they could have Harley Quinn in the movie without Joker being in it, so I can't see that happening.

Casey Affleck or David Tennant would be awesome in Nolan's Batman films. Doctor Who is wank though.

the doctor as the riddler...perfect, Casey affleck would be amazing as well

THESE LOOK CHEESY!!!! Sorry guys, good effort just looks bad.

the smeared makeup has been done, i like the Harley Costume but the makeup should be more straight instead of the Heath Joker smear.

I don't understand all the hate towards Catwoman. I think Selena Kyle would fit well in Nolan's universe as Batman needs a new leading lady anyway. Plus the love angle and history between the two characters is one that's most memorable. Handled correctly they can emit a chemistry on screen that Daredevil and Elektra epically failed to pull off. I'll bet anybody that she'll be in the third film. I do agree that she looks ridiculous in this fan art though. Everyone else looks pretty well-grounded, but I agree that Harley Quin looks a bit too manic when she's supposed to be the sexy/cute but dangerous character that made her so popular. Where's Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin, though? BTW, Gotham City as the title works. It's synonymous with and as well known as the Batman name.

Tennant as Riddler? Awesome. Cotillard as Catwoman? Scrap it. Catwoman is overdone. Bell as Harley Quinn? I'll entertain the idea, but I've not seen her in enough movies to gauge her effectiveness in a a role which needs to be incredibly deranged. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin? Hoffman is a good actor, but the Penguin is too comical a character for this reimagination of Batman. We have to keep in mind that the director wants real life villains: no mutants or special powers or the like. He was things that could happen. Julian Day (Calendar Man) would be a good villain in this regard, as his crimes take place on a certain date. Firebug would be another good one, as he's a bomber.

Penguin wouldn't be a mutant or anything- just an arms dealer crime boss and I like Tim Roth as Penguin(good call) Ellen Page? I don't think she fits to play her psychiatrist alter ego but who knows right? Scarlett as Catwoman... its not that I don't want Catwoman- but I would rather Harley Quinn and Baby Doll because they have never been on the big screen. In Nolans world Catwoman isn't needed to further Batmans' growth as the Dark Knight detective but Riddler is a character essential to Batmans' mythology because while Joker was the agent of chaos, Riddler could be the controlled,precise serial murderer that can push Bruce to use his mind more than his brute force. I think Nolan is planning it that way considering that Joker told him 'with all your strength you can't save them'(during the beatdown in the interrogation room). Harley would be a great way to not let the death of Heath Ledger totally eradicate the Joker from Batman's world.

Yeah, it all does kinda look like shit... all those characters would suck with the way the new Batman is set up; they're all way too cheesy. With how the new Batman movies are going, the villains don't have to be over the top as far as costume and makeup. I would rather have some somewhat dark looking normal guy simply call himself the riddler and have his actions do the talking rather than some loser dressed up in an extravagant costume... we've headed down that road before (Batman Forever...) I really hope they don't use something like this... the movies need to stay dark and somewhat realistic

Bell and Tennet:good Cotillard: maybe Hathaway: hell no

these are pretty for what they are, but so against the spirit of Nolan's vision. IMO. also Quinn is just a weak character. the Riddler has always had so much potential. If the character had elements of Spacey's character from Seven and Hannibal Lector. Not a suit full of question marks... they ruined Dr. Who by putting question marks on his lapel. ridiculous. but i digress.

I have to say, the Harley Quinn and Riddler(?) in the photos look excellent, but I really hope they go with Mr. Freeze and undo the horror that was Batman & Robin. C'mon, Patrick Stewart as Mr. Freeze? Fucking awesome.

David Tennant would be awesome as the Riddler. I only saw Dark Knight three times, I'd have to go four or five times if that were to happen.

All terrible choices. I think the art itself is fine. Clearly some talent went into it. I just think those actors would blow those roles big time. I think Nolan has proven the casting is best left up to him.

Daniel Day Lewis should play the Riddler

Nicely done artwork indeed, but Harley as a villain, would just be a watered-down Joker. Movie goers deserve a better class of criminal. ~_^

The Riddler - David Tennant Calender Man - Anthony Hopkins...seriously. the Harlequin manip is excellent.

Tennant would suck; Robin williams or Adrian Brody as riddler. Kristen Bell is brilliant as Quinn, the last image is freakishly real. Cotillard intersesting as catwoman but should that character appear (unlikely) there is only one who should play her.

I think it'd be excellent if the Joker was locked in Arkham after the Dark Knight busted him in the last one, and Harleen Quinzel (later known as Harley Quinn) falls in love with him and she busts him out. During that time, the Riddler could reek his mischievous havoc in Gotham. I can't say who will be cast as what, because, well, nobody knows. But for now I agree with jono, we have to want for Nolan's decision and respect it.

The pictures look really obviously fake. Besides, Batman doesn't need another female presence in the 3rd film to fill in for Rachael because he'd most likely still be mourning her death.

I don't know about having a harley quinn in such a dark themed movie. I think it would make her lose some of the quirky innocence that makes her such a fun character. I mean, she is one of the joker's cohorts, but the fact that she has a sweet innocent 'center' so to speak... I don't know. I think that the character would get lost.

I think that brittney murphy should play harley Quinn and a way to bring robin as knight wing being another maske hero that like the others commented that he would be apart of the league of shadows but left before Wayne came then dick grayson came to see his parents for their last acrobatic show but the riddler wasn't taken seriously as a criminal and he ends up killng the grayson and blah blah Blau and he whole arkum asylum and joker and hardly thing I like so yeAh that's my prespictive and dick becomes knight wing then works with batman

I think Zooey Deschanel would make a really good Harley, although I could definitely see Isla Fisher doing an awesome job too.

I could totally see Bell as Harley. Having been a fan of her since her days on stage (back in her college years), she's an awesome choice. And she's gone so far as to say she'd accept a chance to play Harley without even looking at the script. As far as her acting chops, I think she'd be able to do it. I mean, look at her three most known roles: Veronica Mars, Elle on Heroes, and Sarah Marshall. The three are as different as they get. And we did see that she can play crazy with Elle and her sociopath tendencies. Granted it'd have to be turned up quite a few notches for Harley, but I think she'd be able to do it.

Y dont they make harley quinn have a small role as the jokers psychiatrist, while focusin the movie on the next lead villian (riddler?).. and as the movie comes to a close, her curiousity of joker leads to a growin affection.. the last scene in the movie could be a news brief on tv saying, "the notorious joker has escaped from prison and dr. harley quinn has been reported missin..." Then in the following movie she will be revealed as the makeup wearin protege everybody knows. Why the hell did they kill off Two Face?!?! He wasn even there 4 long! If they continue with the dark and twisted yet comical plot with the future movies then i agree wit Severence, johnny depp and jude law are perfect 4 the role! No need 4 alota makeup, jus the look of a typical reporter (glasses, hat, ask alota questions, harmless yet mysterious look).. y not throw anotha comic hero in the mix.. Robert Downey Jr... Makin Marvel's Ironman famous, he'd b perfect 4 DC's riddler.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks these posters look terrible. Quinn looks more like a depressed mental patient. The Riddler looks like a butch lesbian, and Batman and Catwoman look sad and gloomy. The characters are supposed to be exciting and full of life. Better luck next time.

BAD AS

I THINK that HARLEY should be the joker's psychiatrist and during the course of the film she slowly starts to pulled into his world and then she falls in love with him and goes crazy, doing these crazy assignments for him. that way, the joker could still be the mastermind, but we wouldn't have to see much of him, but just knowing the fact that he's there would still be great. as for the casting, i could see kristen bell playing her but i think BATGIRL blows. they should not use her at all. as for ROBIN, i just can't see him working out in batman movies at all. it just wouldn't work. i can, however, see CATWOMAN but i don't think she should be decked out in a hardcore suit like batman, she should just remain in a jumpsuit type suit because she's more agile than a tank like batman. i do think they should continue looking around for someone to play her however, i don't know about the one lady in the artwork. as for the RIDDLER, i have mixed emotions. i definetly would not want him if he was the only villian in the film. he doesn't do too well on his own, he's not really i fighter. but if we had a plethora of villians that would be cool. i want SCARECROW back too. let's not forget he's still around. well that's all i got.

as for harley and riddler, they look cool....but for a creepy halloween costume harley is totally cute and cocobananas so she shouldn't look sad, remember she pulls off crazy stunts and pranks and no matter how dangerous they are, she always squeels in excitement and has a blast, the deadlier, the better, which is why she should have a role in a movie because she can give it so much exhilaration and interest the riddler is good without all the question marks

Its been said that Johnny depp has already signed up for the role of the riddler YEY i cant wait to see him play that

i agree with #77 the joker had his own distinct style, let harley have hers. it would be interesting if the sequel maintained the presence of two villains or perhaps even three...but maybe that would overburden the film (and batman!) honestly, i dont think that there is any greater villain than the joker..you simply cannot beat the ultimate bad guy! however it would be cool to see nolan place a couple of lower-key villains - it would really highlight the actors' abilities if they pulled them off superbly. thalia al-ghul is a good idea compared to catwoman.

the pics are good but not a good movie . to top the joker u gotta have a great plot cuz joker is the best villian hands down.i can see the name "Gotham City" bein used tho. how crazy would it be for batman to be in the middle of a mob war. The Penguin on one side and a new russian outfit lead by The Red Claw on the other. no need for catwoman,bruce wayne could fall in love wit red claw unknowingly since no one ever seen her. Meanwhile The Riddler randomly goes on a Jigsaw type killing spree. One of his victims would be the graysons thus, batman would take in a young dick.Jus when shit cant get any worse Red Claw puts a bounty on batman's head ..which leads to him bein hunted by Bane....once batman kills bane locks up riddler,red claw,and penguin... harley appears at the end to free joker to set up The Caped Crusader...holy shit !!

OH MY GOSH, the fanart for Harley is PERFECT! I've been saying since the last Batman movie that Harley would be perfect! If they truly want to go off on the Joker then the Harley saga would be perfect!

Here's the PERFECT BATMAN 3 outline: 1. Joker is incarcerated in Arkham, but you only get secondary views of him, in a straightjacket. 2. Harleen Qunzel is his psychiatrist. 3. Joker messages are being communicated and executed by "costumes", which are taking control of the (former) Mob empire 4. Edward Nygma is a police consultant assigned to aid Comissioner Gordon in the quest to control the costumes

i still think that miss kristen bale should make a great harley quinn, villan, in the the dark knight 3 gotham city aka shadows of the bat, aka dark knight 3 gotham city, the 2010 movie, with crispin glover as the joker.... and with halle berry as catwoman, in the movie, and with hugh laurie as the mad hatter, yes,..... and with kristen bell as harley quinn, ina whole costume , but make her breast in the costume huge,... and with robin williams as the riddler,... and with ben affleck daredevil,... and with the watchmen heroes,... and with tails miles prower/tailsko, please she got to be in the movie, please mister, christopher nolan,... and with liam nielson ras al ghul henri ducard ,... and with paul williams as the penguin,.. and with the arkham inmates,... and with aaron eckhart as two face, in the movie,.... too,... yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, says brandin lee detroy, from, desoto, texas,.... and with evil anti sally acorn but, make her bigger, and her breasts huge, please, mr. nolan, she has to be in the movie,... and with sonic hedgehog female sonic,.... please, mr. nolan she has to be in the movie,...... let it be filmed in the corrupt streets of chioago, aka old gotham city,... thanks, mister christopher nolan,..

Here is my plot for Gotham City. It is fan-made, but if you think it's cool, tell me. Dr. Harleen Quinzel is a psychiatrist in Arkham Asylum. The Joker(Who has, like, long hair covering his face, he can be made with CGI, the voice wont be too hard) is one of here patients. To prove his insanity, he manipulates her at first. She becomes insane herself and becomes Harley Quinn. He lets her go, do her own thing, and bombards the city. Edward Nigma has always loved questions. Clues. Mysteries. Especially about crime. These thoughts completely overwhelm him, bbut not like Harleen. He is still sane on the outside. But a world of chaos in his mind. He creates life for Gotham and Batman a giant mystery. A crimefilled mystery. He dosent need no makeup, just a black blazer, and a green button-up shirt with a pupped-up collar, some rectangle glasses and a whole lot of Depp. A smooth persuasive voice that nice touch. He creates codes and clues all over town, and Batman is the only detective who can stop him. With, of course, mobs and mobs of angry citizens trying to stop him. By the end of the movie, Edward Nigma commits suicide, but his final words reveal that he has one more riddle up his sleeve before presumably dying. Harley Quinn probably gets thrown into Arkham herself, happy and insane as a little child given ice cream. I agree with some people that Thalia Al Ghul should be refrenced. Maybe, as someone said, her smooth haunting melodied voice haunts Bruce Wayne. In the middle, Edward Nigma creates another riddle. There is a happy circus going around. The riddler has planned to kill the main act-the grayson family. Dick Grayson, a young 15 year old, is watching his parents perform when there is two falling bodies and blood spill. Their wires are burning and cut off, leaving his parents murdered. Batman is too late, but he is seen ominously going through the circus, whixh leads the public to believe that the batman strikes again. At the very end, Batman is in the Batmobile, riding to that warehouse he operates in with Alfred. He talkes with Alfred through the Batmobiles speakers(Ya know, the ones that can connect to your phone and the person your calling can be heard through the car). Bruce just cant stop feeling very sorry for Dick Grayson. Then he comes up with a nice idea. "Alfred?" "Yes, master Wayne?" "Have you ever pondered the thought about a sidekick?" Then the credits roll. And so lives on the legacy of The Batman. after credits (possibly): The Batmobile stops at a narrow alley. A man named bruce wayne gets out of the car and walkes down the alley in Gotham. there, behind many crates is a sad adolescent boy. "Are you Dick Grayson?" "What do you want?" "Have..you ever wanted to be a superhero?" A dark, damp cave is shown. an arm popps out near the caves wall. The arm is burnt and cut, with a long bloody, open scar going down it. Anoher hand grabs a rock and implaes it into the scar. With the blood on the pointed tip, the man etches a bloody question mark on the wall/ "One last riddle...one last riddle..."
