I say, "No, thanks" to The Riddler, Bane, etc. as the main villain. I'd put good money on The Joker being back, a side-villain a la Deathstroke or Deadshot on the trail of Batman, and Batman on the run from the law. That's the final message of The Dark Knight, so it's obviously going to play a part in the next one.
Batman is taking responsibility because he doesn't the citizens pf Gotham to know that Harvey Dent and Two Face is one and the same. And Two Face is alive because according to Nolan and them Two Face is going to be in the next film. Unless o fcourse Nolan changes his mind and goes in a different direction which I doubt
