I totally agree with Ottley on Ben Foster as the Riddler, just because he's the type of actor who will exhaust every ounce of energy he has to put out the appropriate performance.
However Boner-Inspiring the thought of Megan Fox in Vinyl Leather is, there's no way she is talented enough to pull off a good Selina Kyle/Catwoman role. Neither is Jessica Biel, and Rachel Weisz, is a good actress, but she doesn't fit the character well enough.
It's way too early in Batman's legacy to even think about the character Hush, the story of Hush was meant to be in the later years of Batman's reign of protection over Gotham, that's why Barbara Gordon is is a wheelchair, there is a Nightwing and a Robin and Huntress. It was created to step away from the "Year One" take that Miller started and Loeb continued off of.

"You won't kill me because of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you because... you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever."
That line was so perfect, but knowing Heath isn't going to be in the third one, makes it bittersweet. As much as I love the idea of Joker being in the third one, I don't think it would be right out of respect. It's not like upgrading from Katie Holmes to Maggie Gyllenhaal, it's trying to find a replacement for an actor who was the only choice for the part. Let both Two Face and the Joker be, and let some other talented actor portray a villain we have yet to see.
As for Eckhart saying that Jolie is good as Catwoman, and Depp as the Riddler, although they would be great, I mean who doesn't want to see Jolie in skin tight vinyl leather?
But look at the pattern Nolan and his team have been casting in the past, with the exception Liam Neeson as Ras Al Ghul, each villain was portrayed by an actor who doesn't immediately jump out at you when you first see their name. Cillian Murphy's biggest movie to date was 28 Days Later under his belt, when he was casted as the Scarecrow, Eckhart's biggest movie to date before that was Thank You for Smoking, granted he was acting long before that, and Ledger was both blasted and praised for playing a gay cowboy, when he was casted as the Scarecrow.
Tom Wilkinson was great as Falcone, I mean he's an oscar winner, but I never thought he would be in a Batman film, and the only time I've seen Eric Roberts in a film before he played Maroni was in A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints.
Granted the success that has come in the wake of The Dark Knights release will easily merit a third installment with budget that will make most likely will be enormous, but I wouldn't doubt that's because even though Nolan's casting tactics are risky, he sees something in these actors that no one else can see. It's not like a Tim Burton film where you know that if you bet to see Johnny Depp or Helen Bonham Carter you've got a good chance of being right.
I can't wait for Warner Bros. to announce whether or not Nolan will be attached to this third installment, but it isn't going to be for a while.

I know that my entry is late in the game, sorry I was at work, but after watching the Aaron Eckhart clip once or twice, I have to say that I get the distinct feeling that both Eckhart and Nolan have discussed Batman in the past few weeks if not the past couple months, as has Gary Oldman, judging from he recent comments about the Riddler. Seeing as Nolan's vacation is coming to a close as early as March, therefore giving Nolan very little time to determine his part in the future of the Batman franchise, if I am not mistaken (I could be and some of you folks are gonna rip me apart).
Sure it could be all disinformation, but if not, allow me to reiterate what some of you folks has have already said. Someone brought up that if Gordon is willing to fake his own death to protect his family from the Joker or Maroni's cross hairs, would it be so impossible to believe that Gordon would conceal the true fate of Harvey Dent/Two Face to protect Gotham, the city he has devoted himself to, from forever losing hope.
Someone else also brought up Dark Victory the direct sequel to The Long Halloween, which was one of the key influences to The Dark Knight and how the main villain is Two Face, who takes it upon himself to rid the city of its remaining ties to the world of Organized Crime, in ways he could never do as Harvey Dent.
Right there I just brought up a plausible explanation for Harvey Dent still being alive and a legit concept for a plot if not subplot for the third installment, are you really gonna tear me a new *sshole for doing so?
There are endless amounts of possibilities to the idea of a third installment, when there is no real news to report, because lets face it all we are looking at is a thirty second clip of an actor not really answering any questions to an overzealous fan of the Dark Knight. Rumors are fun to read, and even more to talk about. There's no reason to be rude or cruel, we can all just agree to disagree.

I Like How Danny Boyle hasn't the slightest clue what people are talking about to the subject of Judge Dredd. That to me and the concept art, just makes me feel that someone is trying to start the buzz of this 90's bomb so badly, they'll just make sh*t up.

Wow, why is May the month all the big movies come out? I like it though, it's gonna be one big hit after another and then we'll get to watch the competition for the number one spot. And You know what is so f'n smart of W.B. they don't have Watchmen and Harry Potter compete against each other. Watchmen will break the record that 300 set when it came out in March of it's opening year. 07 right?

Yeah, this little friend of ours just put his job at risk, whatever studio that is putting out GB3 is gonna be looking for nifty little button cameras on every piece of garment with buttons attached to it. Not worth it bro, this news is not worth your job...

If this guy becomes Captain America, then there is no God. To compare that tool to Robert Downey Jr. is a mortal sin. No seriously Matthew McConaughey sucks so so much.

Where do we begin...I've been fortunate enough to see each trailer. I can tell you where I was the first time I saw it. I was even fortunate enough to see the Six Minute Preview @ the IMAX screening of I Am Legend, which was amazing. And I've gotta tell ya, this movie looks fantastic. Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace, is going to be amazing in his final on screen performance. I must admit I was a bit hesitant about his casting, because like everyone else I grew up with the Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Hamill interpretations of the Joker. And there wasn't much to know about Heath's career that could tell me that he would kick ass as the Clown Prince of Crime. Nolan's Direction, Bale's interpretation of the Dark Knight, Caine as Alfred, and the fact that these movies (Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) was based on some of the best Graphic Novels ever inked, like those who believe in Harvey Dent, I believe in The Dark Knight.
