I guess with Rachel gone they will need another love interest for Batman/Bruce Wayne, but I really hope this doesn't give them the idea to use Catwoman to fill that void.

I just saw TDK again last night and was thinking about this afterwards. I don't think he should have any love interest in the next film. Have it focus on his detective skills and his "running from the law" baggage from the end of this film. As much as I like the Burton films, they're structured straight from the "Script writing for corporate Hollywood 101" textbook. Chapter 1 - Damsel in distress. Even BB and TDK suffered from that, although to a lesser extent. The next Nolan/Bale Batman film needs to break that mold and avoid the love interest angle completely.
