The "Dark Knight" needs TWO new ladies!

Well, with "The Dark Knight Rises" pretty much on the down low for a while, it's been said that Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel and Keira Knightley are going through the testing process to take over as one of the TWO new female leads after Rachel Dawes bit the dust in "The Dark Knight." There are also a couple of other names being thrown around such as Naomi Watts, Gemma Arteron (Prince of Persia) and Eva Green (Casino Royale), but those three are strictly rumors for now. The actual

characters have not been confirmed as of yet either, so it's still a mystery as to who the new actresses would actually be playing in the film.

I personally don't think that the three going through the

testing process really fit into a film of this genre.

Hathaway would probably be my first choice. She's a good actress when she wants to be, but she has some personal mannerisms that make you say "Yep, that's Anne Hathaway." I always find myself catching onto these whenever I watch her in any film. I think they need an actress who can completely transform into the character without any of their own personal characteristics to take away from the experience.

Biel, well, she's a whole other story. She's kind of a crappy actress, but I've mostly liked her in action roles. She definitely kicked @$$ in Blade: Trinity, and she's very good when it comes to being an action star because of her athletic build. But, judging by the character of Rachel Dawes in the first two films, I think they'll need someone who can carry a pretty heavy dramatic role, and I don't think Biel can handle it.

And last but...probably least there's Knightley. I don't really like her as an actress. She just plays the same characters all the time. The only time she ever stepped out of the romantic/love type role was for "Domino" (2005) and, although I like that movie, there was

nothing outstanding about Knightley's performance. I don't see her being a huge contender for this film.

With that being said, I think they need a new lineup of possible leading ladies. I actually think Gemma Arterton would be a great addition to the cast. Although she got her start in a couple of crappy movies (Prince of Persia, Clash of the Titans) I think she has great potential to be a serious actress.

As far as the story goes, I just hope they don't make the same mistake as with Spider-Man 3 by cramming way too many storylines into one film. But I have the utmost faith in Christopher Nolan. He's a phenomenal filmmaker.

So what do all of you guys out there think about the line-up for leading ladies?
