The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

the one thing i see nolan doing is not casting an Angelina Jolie or Charlize Theron. i think he is going to go for a actress that really wants to prove herself on a main stage and will fully immerse herself into the roll. This leans toward more Keri Russell or Michelle Monaghan. Also the thing about Catwoman she always had a vulnerability that is mixed with a ruthless side. Basically i don't see Nolan adding her unless he can find someway to make her inspire fear in those. kinda in the way Bret Ratner(i hate you guts) truly failed in doing so in X3. now the only way this can be accomplished is making her a vigilante much like batman but she goes beyond batman's rules (if you know what i mean). other names to consider.

these actresses seem to balance a mix between beauty and a good physical presence. now i realize that most have never acted on this big of a scale but are good left field choices. but i could them as a vigilante types maybe even going after the same people batman is in the third movie but gettin to them before he is type. plus nolan knows how to get the best out of his actors.
with that being said i think Vera Farmiga is a great choice. if youve seen the departed she held her own, and portrayed that cold hearted,no simpathy type toward Damon's character and catwoman needs to show this towards those she is stalking (cat-like). which could be an easy way to introuce her name. she is also really good in Running Scared hers in the performance to watch in that movie and is the one that got her into the scorcese film.
 
just for fun, heres my list again

Riddler - David Wenham
Penguin - Alfred Molina
Freeze - Anthony Hopkins
Cat-woman - Charlize Theton or Keri Russel
Ivy - Scarlet Johansen
Harley Quinn - Zooey Deschanel or Kristen Bell
Talia Al Gul - Eva Green
Ventriloguist - Bill Murray
Mad Hatter - Ben Foster
Black Mask - Clive Owen
Scarab - Jamie Murray
David Cain - Mickey Rourke or Ron Perlman
Deathstroke - Daniel Craig
Lady Shiva - Erico Tamura
Madd Dogg - Royston Innes
 
My girlfriend forced me to watch "Devil Wears Prada" the other night ugh
anyways... even though he played a more flamboyant character in that movie (as a gay fashion designer), every time I saw Stanley Tucci I thought he would be a perfect mr. freeze. There is just something about him that is perfect for the role, and its not just his bald head and glasses
 
Catwoman- Michelle Monoghan
Penguin- David Suchet
Freeze- Stanley Tucci
Killer Croc- Vin Diesel (thats right I said it)
Bane- Javier Bardem for the voice, Batista for the body.
Riddler- Mark Ruffalo
Talia Al Ghul- Kate Beckinsale
Black Mask- Ralph Fiennes (watch In Bruges :cwink:)
Harley Quinn- Anna Faris
Calender Man (the Hannibal Lector-esque Long Halloween version)- Michael C Hall
 
I disagree that Catwoman couldnt be brought into Nolans films but he'd have to be careful how its done.

The only casting ideas I can come up with off the top of my head is Laura Prepon as Poison Ivy and William H Macy as The Ventriloquist.

this is clearly opinion but the bottom two are ugly :o or at least not up to catwoman standards. lily is an ok actress, she's good at what she always does on LOST but she doesnt show much more range
 
The word "ugly" is completely debased here. Rhona Mitra is not ugly. Her looks aren't entirely classic, but she is a very attractive young woman, who would turn every straight male head in every bar everywhere in the world.
 
rhona mitra is far from ugly..i think that is a rather manly looking picture of her...but thats just the picture, she quite beautiful usually. but still not catwoman imo
 
theres only one reasonable explaination for calling rhona ugly...

Miss Mitra is clearly hideous, and there is no way I would possibly consider falling at her feet like a smitten fool.
 
Oh ya, thats the ugliest woman i have ever seen

Mitra is gorgeous, she is far from ugly
 
I got a scene to show ALL villains.

Picture it! For those that won't be the "main" antagonist of the movie; it would be great for Batman to run in the halls of Arkham similar to Begins and show all the villains: in one cell see a man with a puppet, a woman surrounded by plants, another with cats, a girl obsessed with the Joker's spree, a huge man that has Bane's mask, a man in a cold cell, and many others.

All need to be played by an all star cast; sure they won't be huge villains but at least we get to see them in the 3rd installment.
 
^ i think that is a supercool idea that someday will be amazing to see. but before we can see those villians locked in arkham they have to BECOME the villians and be stopped by batman.
 
I was gonna say...

Rhona Mitra is a hottie the nth degree. Whether she's your taste or not, saying she's ugly is just absurd.
 
BUAHAHAHAH!!!! i just saw a mama mia commercial on tv and it said that the movie was "the most fun you will have at the movies this summer"....how pathetic is that!
 
you cant really say its pathetic. its just peoples opinions. Maybe people like those kind of movies opposed to dakr and moody movies like TDK
 
true, that was alittle judgmental of me...it just makes me laugh to hear it from a trailer for mama mia. im sure most of the female crowd out there will thinks its a hellagood time. i guess the statement just caught me off guard. especially considering the movies that statement compares it too (tdk, hb2, wanted, TIH, ironman, prince caspian, IJ4, wallE, sex & the city)
