I received some info from a reliable source that Selina Kyle will be a part of the next Batman movie. The problem is, the rumor didn't originate with my source! It's more like one of those heard it from a friend type deals. Anyway, apparently said friend got a glimpse at some "script notes" from Nolan's upcoming Batman 3.

Catwoman, no thanks.

Talia just seems a far more logical choice, especially since Catwoman is a tad too eccentric for Nolan's grittier, grounded interpretation of the Batman Mythos. Plus, like you said, it's full circle.
 
EDIT: Also, I don't think non-comic geek fans even knew who Ra's was in the first one, so it would be nice to play up a villainess that hasn't gotten the mainstream cred she deserves.

I prefer Talia.

Catwoman is a tired commodity, and unneeded for this movie.  Batman 3 should have Zsasz in it, or, quite frankly, the next few Batman should feature the Knightfall storyline with Bane.  That would make me happy.

Is she necessary? Yes, I think she is. Her and The Riddler are the ONLY villains left that would work in Nolan's movies. They'd have to find someone really special to top Michelle Pfeiffer's amazing performance, but even so... Batman 3 would NOT work without her.

No, but you know who is? Robin.

no catwoman Riddler and mob penquin, taila al ghul maybe.

I would love to see Talia in the third film. She could even be accompanied by a personal bodyguard....wait for it...wait for it....Lady Shiva ;)

  Catwoman, huh?  It could work.

he has a bigger rogue gallery than just riddler and catwoman,
let some other people get a shot,
joker hadn't been seen since 89 movie, and scarecrow premiered,
come on, just stop with those two people.
bats don't need no chick

the third one would be better without any love interest because Batman would still feel like shit for feeling responsible over Rachael's death and he would be too busy evading the cops and living the life of playboy Bruce Wayne.

I think for the third movie, they need to add a new element.  As great as the first two movies were, I am not sure more of the same (Batman vs. Bad Man) will continue to capture audiences in quite the same way.  Outside of introducing Robin (which Nolan said he would not do), really the only other option would be adding a love interest.  And as much as the Batman fanboi in me would prefer to see Talia, I think it would make more business sense to add Catwoman.  
 
Catwoman is someone even non-comic fans could relate to.  Casting the role would be a big deal and regardless of who ultimately ended up with the part, it would create tons of buzz in (and out of) the industry. The moms and pops of the world would take notice when [insert a-list celeb here] got the role of Catwoman in the new Batman movie.  They wouldn't even bat an eyelash when Olivia Wilde (for example) signed on to play Talia.
 
I expect the Riddler.  I expect Catwoman.  And as a nod to comic fans everywhere, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bruce Wayne meeting a Dick Grayson in passing.

" Is she necessary? Yes, I think she is. Her and The Riddler are the ONLY villains left that would work in Nolan's movies. They'd have to find someone really special to top Michelle Pfeiffer's amazing performance, but even so... Batman 3 would NOT work without her. "

Just bring in The Riddler and call it a day.

I'm leaning towards Talia, but Catwoman can have a cameo. The Riddler will do well, just don't show scarcrow anymore since they made him uninteresting after Batman Begins.

michelle pfeiffer killed it in batman returns. so don't even bother. that catwoman was perfect.

I'd love Selina Kyle/Catwoman to be Nolanised, she's a perfect gritty yet elegant character who'd suit this process.

The state that Batman was in at the end of the Dark Knight left a big welcoming arms to Catwoman. I really wouldnt be suprised if shes in it.
1. Batman is now a rogue so to speak.
2. Batman has no love interest. 
Its kind of perrrfect.

First off, I do not want the third BatMan film to be the last. I have always hoped that they would continue with this franchise for more than three films. Unfortunately, it does not appear that that will happen. That brings me to my second point. If the third is the last, I do not want to see Catwoman introduced. It would not fit. She has always been a lingering character. Ending with her does not seem prudent to me. Talia may work, depending on how it is done. I would not necessarily be opposed to Talia having a role in the upcoming film, but I also would not necessarily be opposed to having no love interest at all in the upcoming film. Third, if the next BatMan movie were not to be the last, then I would not be as opposed to Catwoman being in it. Fourth, this is not related to Catwoman, but I want to see Black Mask as the primary villain. In my humble opinion, Black Mask's mafia-style villainy would align with the realistic, dark feel of the current BatMan movie franchise perfectly.

Talia AL Ghoul would be cool Babs : ) or Cat woman either still thou, how about poison ivy or Harley Quinn somehow in a any very different way? 

I kind of want catwoman to be in it so i can erase the halle version from my mind T__T but if there has to be a love interest it can only be between catwoman and talia
And I love the batman catwoman dynamic movie wise but the introduction of talia could be more interesting for nolan's version of batman. 
 
I dont know I'd be happy with either woman being chosen, but both will need a good reason and motive for being introduced
 
For villains I think the riddler might be too much like joker if you think about it, I think hush or  zsasz could be interesting choices
Too bad so many of batman's enemies are so difficult to use in nolan's world 

Talia who? Exactly. Catwoman is a much more recognizable character and would make more sense. 
 
Also, nobody is going to top Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman.

I'm 100% with Babs. Lazarus Pits to bring back Ra's and Talia as the new love interest. Done.

Frankly, I'd be really disappointed if there was no Catwoman in the next Batman.  
 
Nolan has said he plans on wrapping up the films in a way that precludes the possibility of more Batman movies without another reboot. I don't know how he plans to do that or how he could work a Catwoman into just a single movie, but I'm really interested in what his take on Catwoman would be. 
 
I don't think anyone but Batman nerds know about or care about Talia and I think going back to the same material as Batman Begins would be disappointing. 

 A friend and I had a lengthy discussion about this after seeing Dark Knight.  Basically, Catwoman would work because at the end of Dark Knight, Batman is on the run.  He is a vigilante again.  Catwoman would end up playing a duel-role like she's always done in that she makes her living as a thief but she'll fight on the side of angels sometimes too.  With his connection with the police severed, Batman would be drawn to her and thus the love-hate relationship begins.
The only thing I will say is she can't be the only villain.  There has to be another.  Plus, it's a chance for her character to be redeemed after that Halley Berry fiasco.  :)

I think I'm ridin' the Talia train here, just cuz I can really see Nolan's spin on the Lazarus pit and we'd get some more sick monk-fu action

I made a blog about my thoughts on the future Batman movie villains with Catwoman I said she should be a obstacle and not a love interest but also the way the last film ended he was by himself alone against the world the theme for the last film should be solitude Batman against the world after all his plans fell through and I don't think Catwoman can fit in for the third one. 
 
Also it's not like comicbookfilm.com is the most reliable website their "sources" saw the script? The same script from Nolan who prefers all his movies get made by confidentially? Even Batman-On-Film.com has said they are not the most reputable website.

I'd love to see a great Catwoman on the silver screen one day (I'm not crazy about Pfeiffer's portrayal and I refuse to even acknowledge... the "other one").

However, the Bruce/Selina dynamic deserves more than one movie IMO. From Year One to Heart of Hush and beyond: that's a story I'd want to see. It is certainly one of the great love stories of DC/Marvel comics.

I'm afraid it might be a bit late in the game for her potential role to be anything more than the usual flirty/adversarial relationship that's been told countless times in comics. 

That said, Nolan created a substantially different yet immediately recognisable Joker, and he did a brilliant job with him. If he does include Catwoman, I'd still trust him to tell a fresh story.

Talia... I'm not sure how well she would fit in. Ra's as Bruce's mentor was perfect for an Origins movie, but beyond that, the Ghuls feel a little too esoteric for Nolan's universe, especially after TDK really grounded his Batman in an urban, modern environment.

It could work with a few adjustments, I suppose: ditch the resurrections and make the League of Assassins less "ninja-y", more "yakuza-y".

(I'm very eager to see Talia in Arkham Asylum II, however...)

If were going for a definitive closure for the Batman series than bring Talia and her father into play.  Seeing the Lazarus Pit would be sickly awesome.  It should end with Talia being pregnant ;)

 Don't really  like Catwoman in movies

Fourth, this is not related to Catwoman, but I want to see Black Mask as the primary villain. In my humble opinion, Black Mask's mafia-style villainy would align with the realistic, dark feel of the current BatMan movie franchise perfectly. "

Oh, yes. Yes, please. Black Mask is THE perfect villain for Nolan's Batman. The crime families are in disarray at the end of TDK. The 3rd movie could chronicle Black Mask's rise to power in parallel with Batman's "new life" as a wanted vigilante.

I also very much agree that Batman doesn't need a love interest. I wonder why Babs posits that he does. If the new movie takes place immediately (or shortly) after TDK, it would even feel out of place.

I personally don't ever want to see the Batman movies end. Since I was a kid there was always some sort of Batman on tv or film and I personally can't imagine it ending now. The comics are great but theirs something about seeing the characters portrayed on screen that sticks into my head.

Catwoman is a joke, I thought we established that after she got her own film.

I have had an idea how to introduce Catwoman into the movie, but it depends on the entire plot.
So the plot, in my idea, is that Bruce has gone off the deep end, he hasn't lost it completely, but he is dangerously close to going down that path.  He is spending less time as Bruce and more time as Batman.  He has become more reckless, aggressive, angry, and brooding, in his actions against crime.  He talks to Alfred less, he barely talks to Fox, and never talks to Gordon.  He is almost alone now, and then while patrolling he finds Catwoman.  She is a cat burglar who, inspired by the recent events of Batman, the Joker, and others, has began dressing in a cat like costume of armor like Batman's.  
 

"No, but you know who is? Robin. "

Indubitably!

The movie does not need a love interest...sort of, see the thing is just having black mask combine all the broken gangs around gotham will not hold the movie up on its own. I find  half of the fun of dark knight was seeing the joker work which was great i don't know if black mask will have that same star power. So we will need more then one layer of drama going on in this movie. that is why an idea of a love interest is going around. "

I agree Black Mask wouldn't be enough, just like Two-Face or the Joker probably wouldn't have been enough on their own. I'm not saying Black Mask has to be the only villain. Black Mask + Hush? I'm in heaven.

But you know who I really want? Condiment King. Do it, Nolan, do it! xD

i think hush would be the perfect villain for nolan's world. it's one of my favorite comic book stories of all time, and i think with some tweeking would fit perfectly into Nolan's world. Also i agree that the catwoman/batman romance deserves more than one movie, but i think maybe the introduction of the huntress and a flirtation with her would be nice

You can never go wrong with Catwoman.

" Catwoman, no thanks. "

Should Catwoman be in Batman 3? no.
 
Should Catwoman be in a future Batman film? Yes.
