Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolie: Batty for Follow-Up to "The Dark Knight"?

It looks like the rumor mill continues to churn out a delicious dish of fodder for fans of Christopher Nolan's revamped and revitalized Batman series.

Over at Yahoo! Buzz there's speculation that Johnny Depp might be the caped crusader's next villian... the Riddler. There's no doubt the always-a-bridesmaid-never-a-bride Oscar nominee would do the part justice, but it might be difficult to eclipse Jim Carrey's spot-on performance as the fittingly over-the-top, mad scientist -- one of the only highlights of Batman Forever.

There's also word that Angelina Jolie is mulling over the idea of playing Catwoman. Fanboys (in unison): "Me-OW!" Christian Bale and Jolie duking it out with a "should-they-or-shouldn't-they?" backstory could be highly entertaining. Not to mention that Jolie is absolutely no stranger to action flicks. And, she has Julie Newmar's backing.

Finally, Yahoo! mentions Philip Seymour Hoffman as a possible Penguin. It's a fitting concept since it's the type of character he seems drawn to these days. Does anyone want to see Truman Capote in Penguin form? Hm.
