We have a name for the third Batman film in the Christopher Nolan trilogy, and now we're getting more news about casting. Word is that two female roles are being scouted for major screen time. One is a villain (Catwoman perhaps?), while the other is a romantic interest for Bruce Wayne--fittingly since Rachel Dawes exploded in the previous chapter.
Some murmurings are mentioning Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Ra's (Liam Neeson from Batman Begins). Thematically this would be a great bookend; if that were to happen it would raises the question to what capacity she'll be in. Talia is a villain but also is the mother to Batman's child in comic book lore.
Six actresses are up for the two parts. See them after the break.
Anne Hathaway
Blake Lively
Rachel Weisz
Naomi Watts
Natalie Portman
Keira Knightley
Personally, I like Hathaway and Weisz. We'll see what happens when official word comes out in the future.
The Dark Knight Rises arrives July 20th, 2012.
