The Dark Knight to have a female villain?

[Myasishchev]

Yeah, but how does that really fit in with her working with not-Lex (but she doesn't know it's not-Lex) like two weeks later? That's really weird.

Couldn't Ra's just go, like, have some more sex? Or do Lazarus Pits mess up the twin gentlemen?

Ra's has been fecund across the centuries. Talia is not his only child. She had a much older sister named Nyssa, and she had a brother, Dusan. Nyssa was finally killed by Cass, and Ra's transferred his spirit into Dusan's body in "The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul." (So, biologically, Talia is now her father's sister. Only in comics...)

Talia also had sex with

Jason Todd

at the end of the mini-series. She's had lovers and stuff.

What do you have against non-traditional families?

The twins thing was a rhetorical question, though.

AY: Yeah, I knew about that. Creepy quasi-necrophilia. You know, for the kids. : /

^ Yeah I wasn't thrilled when I saw that lol.

[Nowhere Man]

I'd like to see Catwoman as the love interest and Harley Quinn as the Villian. The only thing about Harley is it would have been cool to see her break Joker out of Arkam, but I guess that won't be happening. To have Harley Quinn without Joker would just seem like something is missing, but if anyone can pull it off it would be Nolan.

[Admiral_Young]

I would have introduced Selina just by herself and spent a film having her as Bruce's new love interest then showing Catwoman in the third movie.

The Timmverse series also showed that Ra's had a son who was his second in command back in the Wild West days, Arkady Duvall. But unfortunately he was also a violent psycho who Ra's eventually abandoned when Jonah Hex came after them.

Christina Hendricks is the ONLY person who should be playing Poison Ivy.

Sounds, like a good idea to me.

[Python Trek]

Michelle Williams should play Harley Quinn. Think about it.

Why not get the whole Brokeback Mountain cast into these Batman movies (and yes, I know Williams once dated Ledger).

^I'd have no complaints if the other BM female, Ann Hathaway was cast - she's on the shortlist, isn't she?

She is, and she's a great actress. She nearly stole the show in Rachel Getting Married and plus, on a completely unrelated topic, she has a great rack.

[Captaindemotion]

^yes and even better, apparently she gets it out in some new movie co-starring Jake Gyllenhall (back to Brokeback again).

Dude, it's fucking Christopher Nolan. Man hasn't disappointed yet. You couldn't force me to pass on this movie if you put a gun to my head.

Yes, I rather think someone could.

I wonder if they might not go the route of making Selina not quite a villain in this movie. Still a criminal, but more of a petty thief type who teams up with Batman (after about an hour or so) to take down some larger threat (Talia?). That way, we could have Catwoman and some other major female member of the rogue's gallery, and also a love interest for Bats.
