Argh everyone stfu about Catwoman. Catwoman has no place in a tightly woven trilogy. What role could she possibly play to advance the story?
Step back for a second: Where does this trilogy (if it is a trilogy) need to go? Here is where we left off:
1. Police chase for batman
2. Public thinks he is a 6 x cop killer
3. Who cares about Harvey Dent, he's played his role
4. They don't need the Joker. I don't think Arkam is as incompetent in the Nolanverse as it needs to be in the comic canon to keep the Rouge Gallery in steady rotation.
The next movie doesn't need a primary villian, it needs a very literal anti-hero. Batman is going to need to be hunted, and so I imagine the police, with under-the-table backing from gangsters, hire someone like Bane to do the hunting. If I were going to write the script, I would have Bane be written very similar to Emil Blonsky from the Incredible Hulk--a brutal special forces who doesn't have Bats aversion to killing. I'd probably spend some time in the first act committing some crimes in Batman equipment to turn the public opinion against Bats.
