Rumors start up again for Batman 3's possibly plot and characters. Being that this would be the umpteenth time we've heard about the Riddler's inclusion, I'm beginning to find this factual. Riddler would be a villain right up Nolan's thematic alley, and the videogame Arkham Asylum's audio recording show that he can be just as disturbed and unsettling as The Joker - even if he isn't as iconic. Now let's address these other rumors...
The appearance of Babara Gordon and Dick Grayson sounds like hogwash, but not of the cameo table. Nolan went on record saying Robin's not swinging in his series, but a cameo would be fair. Barbara was in fact in The Dark Knight, held captive with her brother at the film's climax. She was a child there so yeah... no sidekicks anytime soon.
The mention of Lex Luthor was interesting. With Nolan overseeing a Superman reboot it wouldn't be out of the question for him to play with his newly extended sandbox of characters. If he introduces his Luthor early in Batman 3 and let's his vision loose in a proper Superman movie, I can buy that. Especially if Nolan presents the white-collar criminal Luthor (also in Nolan's thematic alley), perhaps an antagonist to Bruce Wayne?
All rumors, though.
