It's sort of a given that to really do well, a movie needs to draw in the kind of casual fans who might not know some of the more obscure villains. That might be one mark against her, and in Catwoman's favor. Harley could tie in with the last movie, so that's another possibility. And part of the sets are supposedly being done in New Orleans, which might be a hint that Croc is in it. Or not. There seems to be some disesntion on that. Likewise, if Two-Face comes back, there's another tie to the previous movies. Rumors say two female leads, so maybe both Talia AND Catwoman or Quinn?
I see what you are saying as far as obscurity, but we have a precedent for using less known villains already. Ra's wasn't well known to movie goers. Honestly aside from the Joker I don't think any of the villains Nolan has used are well known to movie goers. I figure if Ra's could work then so could his daughter Talia. As for her and Harley, it might work. Harley represents the same type of chaos as the Joker, which is the opposite of what Ra's wanted. To him chaos was the means to an end, not an end unto itself. |

The first two more likely, since they've both had relationships with Bruce Wayne/Batman in the past, and because Talia has previously trained Selina in practice of certain "League of Assassins"-styled techniques.

Amanda Waller would be an interesting alternative. |

She would, but Nolan probably won't touch her because of her Smallville appearances.
UGH. Now you got me thinking about Batman and Smallville again. Season 10 has been truly terrific, and Tom Welling & cast should graduate to the Superman reboot movie. But there's only one thing that would make the season absolutely perfect in my eyes:
:Scene - Clark, the Justice League and Justice Society stand on the battlefield. Around them lie a few comrades and many enemies, including the fallen form of Darkseid, laid low from his fight with Clark. As they begin to take stock of their injuries, talking and helping each other up, from the shadows of a toppled wall you see Desaad smiling, aiming a gun with kryptonite bullets at the young hero. Clark and friends are completely unaware as Desaad aims, pulls the trigger and--WHAM! from just outside the shot, you see a gloved hand grab the gun, while another fist (the flanges on the gloves very visible) hits and knocks Desaad out cold. Clark hears the commotion and turns, seeing the unconscious Desaad laying on the ground and catching the shadowy form of a man silhouetted with the bat ears. The man then disappears.
Batman: "Missed one. Be seeing you, Clark." |
