Batman 3 Villain: Who Shall It Be?

Yeah, it's a tad early for all this, considering the second movie came out four days ago, but I've been haering this question quite a bit. You know I like to be up on all the hip topics so...what villain should it be?

I'm not a big Batman dude. Never read a comic book and Batman Begins was the first dose of Batman I got. So I'm not any expert on Batman lore, but I've done some research and I'll try my best.

Anarky, Riddler, or Hugo Strange

I can only narrow it down to three.

Anarky- "The essence of anarchy is surprise". Basically Anarky is a young, non-superpower'd(?) who lacks much skill and experience yet has his ingenuity that keeps him alive. He could be kind of a crazy, idiotic kid that poses as a threat. What makes him menacing is that he hasn't a clue what he's doing. He's realistic and scary, so...brownie points.

Riddler- A classic villain, probably the most documented of the ones I'll name. He's obsessed with puzzles and clues, and all that stuff. The Nolans could think up some creepy lines and situations for a character of that type. His trademark is green. He's aparently on Nolan's shortlist and he's a pretty iconic character, thus putting more bottoms in the seats.

Hugo Strange- Strange is an insane psychologist who lusts for Batman's fame and appeal. How about they work into the plot that Strange wants to take over Batman's identity? Fun, huh? He also is "a chemical genius who can turn people into lumbering, brutal giants". Interesting, yet I'd leave that bit out of the film. Little weird.

Bottom Line: Be maniacal, but don't be the Joker. Also, step outta' the box.

Who do you think should be in the film? Who should act in the roles? "McAvoy, McAvoy and, uh, McAvoy?"
