There is one thing for certain, and that is a lack of any female character left in the Nolan universe. Well that problem is being solved because Nolan and co. have recently met with a handful of beauties to be introduced into the Batman mythology. These lovely ladies include Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz. I personally loved the rumor that came out right after The Dark Knight that Weisz was in talks to play Catwoman. Her and Naomi Watts are my two favorite actresses on the list, and the two I can best see in the world. The only one I am really against is Knightley.
Now onto the better question of who these actresses will be playing. Word is that Nolan is casting both a love interest for Bruce and a villain. Now, let’s play detective. You have three brunettes in Hathaway, Weisz, and Portman who have the look for Catwoman or Talia. And three blondes, Knightley, Lively, and Watts, to play the new blonde bombshell on the social scene in Gotham. Did I just deduce who is up for love interest and who is up for villain? Probably not. I am sure Nolan’s mind is not as simple as mine.
I would assume casting announcements will come shortly as the production start is fast approaching. Check back here for more information.

While I love Portman and Knightley, they've both had their turn in large scale action roles, my personal pick for a villain would be Hathaway, her dramatic abilities shown in Rachel Getting Married and Havoc show the range she's capable of. Watts seems to mesh the best in Nolans universe and can really do just about anything dramatically.
