If it's a movie done similarly to Seven, then the Riddler has no place in it at all.

Well the office worker guy is called "Mr. Reece" or something, so that is a possible Riddler (Mysteries?). Since he *already* knows batman's identity, that would add an extra dimension. On the other hand, maybe he is on Batman's side now. Or maybe not, given the events at the end of the movie.
Since the death of Heath Ledger, I don't think anyone else would do Joker in the next movie, but you could have a Nolanized, dark, version of Harlequin as some sort of disciple of the Joker, if they can find an actress to do her justice (although it would be dark irony if they cast Michelle Williams).

Heath Ledger. Liam Neeson. The accountant's not going to be the Riddler based on the actor alone - never mind the fact that why in god's blazes would he become the Riddler in the first place? There's no set-up, no reason. The movies have been more or less grounded so far. Turn some c-list character from The Dark Knight into the main antagonist for the sequel...? He'd have to have the set-up
did to get him to that point.
But, again. Minor actor. Not happening.
Nor do I see Harley showing up.

Guy Pearce.
And maybe the Riddler could be tapped by the City of Gotham to take down the outlaw "Batman" (owing to his current status in the comics as a legitimate private investigator). But he keeps being foiled in his investigations (since the police isn't *really* trying to take him). He uncovers a conspiracy that has led to him losing all his credit and goes for revenge,

I've always hated the Riddler. He's far too silly for me to take seriously. (Apparently David Tenant has expressed interest in the role; from what I've seen of his work, I can't picture something different coming from him.) If Nolan decided that he was the main villain, I'd be skeptical... and Nolan is probably my favorite director right now. His garrish green outfit and childish wordplay don't belong in the dark, drab, and mature Gotham we've been given.
Whatever they do for the next movie, I fear the series is going to suffer from Empire Strikes Back syndrome: almost nothing could be better, or even equal to, The Dark Knight.

[sblock]I'm not sure that any of us are on the right track, in as much as there doesn't have to be a "new" villain in the next movie. There's no guarantee that Harvey is dead; Batman survived the fall, after all. Given that they're already lying to the public, I can see him and Gordon claiming that Harvey Dent is dead, while secreting him off to Arkham or some hospital.
Beyond that, the Scarecrow is also still alive, and I can imagine Nolan doing something with him. I'd love to see him in a darker plotline, like Dark Knight, as opposed to the somewhat over the top "let's destroy the city" plotline of Begins.
My guess is that we'll see one returning villain and one new villain in the next movie, but a guess is all it is.[/sblock]

A few others have touched on it here, and once I thought about it after watching the movie. I agree.
[sblock] Two-face is not dead.
1. the scene with the mobster, a fall from this height won't kill.
2. that whole speech from Bats to Gordon about if Gotham found out what had happened to Harvey they would loose hope. Let the people think he is dead and make him a martyr.
3. if he is dead than that just sucks.[/sblock]

I think Harvey is dead. The impact of the movie would be much less if he was still alive for the next movie.
I think the guy who knows Batman is Bruce Wayne is going to have at least a minor role in the next movie. Though you would think he'd be the target of the cops right at the start, unless he just claims that he thought Bats was Harvey Dent.
Yes it's gonna be hard to top this one.

I don’t think any of these guesses are right. None of our guesses, or at least very few of them, were correct following Batman Begins. We will just have to wait and see what happens in 2011 or 2012. Before that, though, there will be lots of spoilers and rumors.
For the moment, we are just killing time.
And the next villains will totally be Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.
