Former Catwoman and ‘Batman icon’ Julie Newmar thinks that Angelina Jolia would be the best choice to appear in the next Batman if Catwoman becomes the next villain as quoted in NY Daily.
“Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me [she] has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love.
She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess. When you look at the staggering box office of this current film, which actress wouldn’t want to jump in?”
Johnny Depp to play The Riddler is heavily rumoured as well.
“(Producers) are convinced that the role of the Riddler is perfect for Depp. Johnny’s a pro. He’ll be able to take direction from director Chris Nolan and still make the character his own.”
At this point, these rumours are simply that, rumours. With the director Christopher Nolan not yet signed on to the next Batman 3, the status of the next Batman Movie is still up in the air.

Batman Writer Reveal Batman 3 Problems
The screenwriter of the Batman Movie has casted doubts on a third Batman Movie. David Goyer revealed in a interview that a third movie is not set in stone and it could “go either way“.
“I think that’s the scariest thing – to think, could we come up with a third movie that was as good as the first two? Can we top ourselves?” screenwriter David Goyer asked aloud, almost rhetorically, in a recent conversation with MTV News. “Doing it a third time would be a big proposition.”
Make no mistake about it, though, a third film HAS been discussed, Goyer confessed, revealing that, while nothing is concrete, both a villain and a theme have been bandied about.
“We’ve only talked loosely about it, though, Chris and I,” Goyer said.
“I have one,” Goyer said laughing. “But I’m not going to tell you. Chris is very particular about that.
“I do think, though, that if there’s not a third film – these two movies stand on their own,” he added. “I think it could go either way.”

Joker Out Of Batman 3 And Morgan Freeman
It is believe that The Joker was originally written into the first draft of a Batman 3 story and that all references have since been removed.
Cinema Blend has quoted a unamed source "Two-Face will feature prominently in the next film, “covering his origins”
However the general consensus is that this is very unlikely to happen. A more likely event however s that the graphic novels "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" will also be referenced in the third movie.
In another note, Morgan Freeman who has appeared in both Batman Begin and The Dark Knight as Lucius Fox(Batman Equipment Supplier and CEO of Wayne Enterprise) was involved in a car accident.
Morgan Freeman is in a serious condition after a car accident late on Sunday night, traveling Eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County. His Nissan Maxima edged off the road, and by over-correcting, Freeman flipped the vehicle.
Emergency crews pulled Freeman and his passenger from the wreck using the “jaws of life“, before airlifting to the MED in Memphis.
Reports say that whilst crews were cutting Mr Freeman out, he was lucid and joking with the rescue workers.

Sean Report: Batman 3 and Catwoman
As Rachel Dawes perished in The Dark Knight, Batman 3 will need a new female lead and words are around that it's likely to be a feline. Catwoman is likely to be both a villain and Bruce Wayne's love interest in the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman series.
Catwoman's appearance in the film is ever so likely if the Nolan brothers and David Goyer are to further adapt the graphic novels Batman: The Long Halloween and its sequel Dark Victory.
As she plays a big role in the graphic novels and with the spot of a female lead character needing to be filled, we'll just have to guess who will play Catwoman.
As for the choice of a second villain, it may be the return of Two-Face and/or the Joker. Both Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger signed deals for two Batman films and Two-Face is an important character in The Long Halloween.
Nolan wants realistic theme and characters in his Batman series, thus we won't be seeing villians that need a lot of CGI special Effects, such as Killer Croc, Man-Bat and even Poison Ivy.
The Riddler will make a good addition to the series, as he can fill the void left by the Joker to give Batman mental tests of wit.
If Nolan is really serious about realistic villains, how about the mob boss Carmine "The Roman" Falcone? His inclusion will move the film further into the noir genre that was initiated by TDK.
One thing that's almost certain is that we won't be seeing Robin in the next Batman movie because Christopher Nolan does not want to work on the Boy Wonder. It will be a waste not to see Joker again but if he is to return, who will replace Heath Ledger as the clown prince?

Sean Report :Future of Batman after Nolan
Director Christopher Nolan stated that Batman 3 will be his last Batman movie and Christian Bale announced that he'll continue as Batman only if Nolan is directing. So what will happen to Batman after Nolan hangs the towel?
Who will be the director to replace him and carry on the dark and realistic theme of his version of Batman? Who will replace Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader? These questions and a few others remain in unanswered.
Even though the realistic theme is working magnificient for Nolan's Batman, it will be great for fans of the comic to see characters such as Nightwing, Batgirl, and Catwoman helping Batman to defeat villains like Black Mask, Bane, Poison Ivy, Clayface and Killer Croc in future Batman movies. It will be pleasing if Superman makes an appearance.
The realistic feel of The Dark Knight brings in more adult audience and the film is also enjoyable for those who does not like Batman or thinks it's for kids.
However, if the studio is to stay true to the Caped Crusader's comic ventures and please the hard-core fans, characters and villains of Batman's later years will have to appear in future films to portray masterpiece storylines such as The Dark Knight Returns, War Games, No Man's Land and Hush.
The no-CGI- based villains rule will have to be broken but how these interesting characters will be portrayed in the most realistic way possible will depend on the future writers and director of the franchise.
