If for some reason Harley Quinn were to be in the third Batman film (chances are she's not going to be), who do you think would be able to portray her?
My vote goes to Evan Rachel Wood.

I seriously doubt Nolan would add any type of female antagonist. The closet he ever got to that was Natalie in Memento.

I doubt that too. I would love to see Nolan work with a stronger female character. The females in his films are too, how do I describe this, they're too quiet. They don't stand out like the male characters.

Male directors tend to make films that are male driven. Same with women. I suppose its an unconscious gender thing.

It probably is, seeing as how throughout time, males always got meatier roles. And also with males, there are a lot of things a director can do with them that a director can't really do with a female.

Yeah. There is Batwoman, but she's not the same as Batman. And if someone wants to create a female superhero, then create something totally new. Don't just apply aspects of the male one to the female one.

Hahah, yea, I know what you mean. There aren't any really iconic women superheros that aren't based on their male counterparts.

Wonder Woman is the only one, I believe. Then we got Invisible Girl from Fantastic Four and a group of women from X-Men, but they aren't as iconic.

Wonder Woman is pretty much the only one that is iconic. The women from the X Men are pretty awesome as well, but I agree about them not being iconic. Such a shame too. I think that they're pretty cool.

I never really liked Invisible Girl. She's just too boring.
