Sorry, Buffy fans... my data-collecting microbots have finally returned from Gotham City, and they're telling me that there's "no truth" to the recent rumor that former vampire slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar will have a role in the Batman sequel THE DARK KNIGHT.

When the rumor arose, it quickly led to speculation that Gellar would play the Joker's lover and accomplice Harley Quinn, but it's not even known if the character is in the script, and my microbots could not confirm either way (they're not very good -- hey, I made them myself out of some old Zoids toys and a Radio Shack kit). However, they did record some indecipherable mutterings that another female cast member would be announced soon.

But who could that be? Aside from the returning Rachel (played by Katie proxy Maggie Gyllenhaal), the only other female role we know of is a Latino cop, possibly the big-screen version of Detective Renee Montoya from the early 90s animated Batman series. Yet it's still conceivable that the Joker will receive therapy at Arkham Asylum from one nimble nubile shrink named Dr. Harleen Quinzell. Returning director Christopher Nolan starts production soon, so we'll see a complete cast listing in short order.

Extra Tidbit: Gellar is apparently still married to Freddy Prinze Jr. What's up with that?

Thank God...or Nolan...or somebody!
Sarah Michelle Gellar would have sucked so much as Harley Quinn or anyone else related to the Batman franchise. Anybody who starred in not one, but two Scooby Doo movies definitely does not need to be fucking up Batman!

SMG wouldn't of been a bad choice, but if Harley Quinn is indeed in the film, I reckon Brittany Murphy, Christina Ricci and Rose McGowan have some sexy-crazy in them.

That is the hottest picture of SMG I've ever seen. And I don't even like her that much.

Other female Batman characters..
Other female characters that kick ass:
Poison Ivy
Barbara Gordon/Batgirl
The Huntress
Catwoman
Talia

Since we know Harvey Dent is in this movie, the female character could be Montoya. In the comics, there was a little romance revolving around her and Two Face.
It also could be Talia, the daughter or Ras Al Ghul. Remember rumors of Rachel Wiesz being considered for this role?
But Harley

Good
Okay, I'm a HUGE Buffy fan, but I'm glad she won't be in the new Batman. Why? Cause SMG is a TERRIBLE actress. She would've dragged the movie down. Fairuza... now that would be bang on.

I typically try to avoid futile wishful casting, but on the off chance that Harley Quinn IS in the movie (which I doubt--doesn't seem very Nolan-y), I think Fairuza Balk would be an eerily good choice. Maybe too good.

Freddie and Tommy went to the same brainwashing academy and have the same skills. Hence, their continued dominion over SMG and Katie.

Part of me wants Jennifer Lopez for Renee, another (smarter) part wants Penelope Cruz, and a third part doesn't care who's cast in the part so long as they wear tight clothing and/or have a nude scene and/or are really really hot.
