So I am guessing they needed some shots of the ghetto?

And do you know what else needs to rise?

The Search Function

Nolan has begun testing actresses for two major female roles, one being a villain (Gotta be Taila Al Guhl, which could mean Liam Neeson will return as Ra's) and a love interest (Catwoman most likely).

By process of elimination that's almost gotta be it -- the only other female villain in the "top echelon" of Batman's rogues gallery is Poison Ivy, and you would hope to god the abortion of "Batman and Robin" would rule her out forever.

Bet it's Harley Quinn

Detroit has some of the oldest tall buildings in the world because everywhere else they have been torn down...they might make so interesting shots ouyt of those.

Nice! Looking forward to it!

Give me a break, she's as believable as a WNBA player winning a slam dunk contest.

The series devoted so much time to rationalize Batman by explaining the science and the training and the monetary resources devoted to keeping him alive and in fighting condition... do you honestly think we are supposed to just accept that strip-aerobics and a sassy attitude allows Catwoman to compete with him?

I mean, I get it, she has no superpowers (unless you count Batman Returns when they HAD to give her superpowers to explain her abilities) but that doesn't mean she is realistic. Just like Robin... kids and women shouldn't be able to do what Batman does.

But I guess she could just be a meddling fringe character and not do all the athletic stuff, but then you'd be taking the cat out of Catwoman. I don't know, I trust Nolan, I just hope he can finish what he started.

well, our alternatives are a fatass 5-2 guy who makes penguin noises and wears a hat, or a standup comedian who wears leotards with question marks on them.

Dr. Hugo Strange is supposedly involved as well. Based on the comic book arc Prey.

Not many. Nolan can be avant-garde and edgy all he wants but this is still going to be a comic-book movie marketed to a massive mass audience.

He's already stepped outside the "big four" with Ra's, Scarecrow, Two-Face and even (briefly) Mr Zasz. (Falcone and Maroni kind of count too but they certainly weren't major villiains).

Odds are very good the last installment will feature one highly recognizable villain and probably a couple of second-level guys (along with possible return appearances of some from the first two movies).
