Robin Williams recently said "I would do Batman in a second, playing anyone." The comedian has previous form with director Christopher Nolan too, playing the bad guy opposite Al Pacino in Insomnia. ?Nolan has a habit of casting actors with whom he has a history – he cast Bale in The Prestige after Batman Begins and Tom Hardy has been signed to The Dark Knight Rises after working with Nolan on Inception.

But Nolan has confirmed that he is leaving the series at the end of this film, and with two villains already cast – Hardy as Bane (he was previously rumoured to have been signed to play Strange) and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman – it is unlikely that the plot wants or needs a third.

Digital Spy reports that film insiders have hinted that the plot will be based on the "Prey" storyline, in which Gotham police employ the psychotic psychologist Hugo Strange to help hunt down Batman. ?This would tie in with the ending of Dark Knight perfectly, but as mentioned above, two villains have already been cast.

It is possible that the Prey storyline could run in parallel with others of course, but with so much material to get through, The Dark Knight Rises would face a longer running time than its predecessors, both of which already punch in at the "too-long-for-a-blockbuster" 2.5 hour mark.

With the project still in pre-production, there could still be a few surprises in store. ?Williams as Strange would be brilliant casting as we know the actor can do dark and brooding as much as he can torture us with Patch Adams. ?Whatever the results, the audience will have to wait until the film’s release in July 2012 to see them.
