The Dark Rumor Has Rises!

Since the release of the blockbuster known as The Dark Knight, never-ending rumors about the production of its sequel never fail to grab media attention despite how ridiculous they may sound. The most famous amongst all is the news that superstar, Johnny Depp has nabbed the coveted role of The Riddler, Batman's arch nemesis. I would love to see Depp terrorizing Gotham City in a green suit with a Domino mask since he is best known for choosing acting roles that are eccentric in nature. However, when Christopher Nolan(director of the new Batman series) announced the title of his latest Batman project( The Dark Knight Rises), he stated that the possibility of having The Riddler as the main villain is ZERO!!! NONE!! Theoretically, The Riddler would be too similar to The Joker, and after Heath Ledger's brilliant performance as The Joker, I doubt that anything can top what he did in The Dark Knight.



Now lets talk about the latest rumor.For the past couple weeks, Hollywood gossips have been buzzing about the fact that Inception helmer Christopher Nolan has been auditioning actresses for two roles in his third Batman film. Deadline.com reported that Nolan will soon be meeting with 6 actresses to cast 2 of them to play Bruce Wayne's love interest and a supporting villain respectively. The 6 stars are Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, and Keira Knightley.
For the record, reps for Nolan and Warner Bros. declined to comment on the casting process.However, Nolan is known as the type of director who keep his mouth shut when working on a project. As a fan of Nolan, this is agonizing because all of the projects that he has made and will be making are interesting.

Hmmm, so we have a love interest and a villain? I don't know who Bruce Wayne's love interest will be since they're so many of them in the archive, but the villain has got to be Catwoman. COME ON! It can't be Posion Ivy .Are you telling me that Nolan would single out a villain that won't fit his "realistic" universe? Besides that, Poison Ivy has been used in the train wreck known as Batman & Robin(1997 film). Catwoman is a dark version of Batman. She is a femme fatale who's principles is against Batman's own, but nonetheless, they're attracted to each other mentally and sexually(ooooooh!!) The perfect villain in Nolan's Batman universe. Now, out of all the actresses that were mentioned above, who can play the part perfectly?



That would be none other than Natalie Portman. She played challenging roles before in movies such as Léon, V For Vendetta and her recent movie, Black Swan. She has the edgy, dangerous,and mysterious look which is similar to Catwoman/Selina Kyle. A director like Nolan has an eye for talents and Natalie Portman is one of the most talented young actress today.
