Completely predictable list of actresses in contention for The Dark Knight Rises

I'm not going to spend a lot of time with this, but Deadline has released the list of actresses Christopher Nolan is considering for the two major female roles(one a love interest, the other a villainess) in The Dark Knight Rises. Who are they? The same women who are up for pretty much everything:

Blake Lively, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, and Keira Knightley.

Nothing wrong with anybody in that group, I guess I was hoping for something a bit more inspired. As it stands, I would kill to see Rachel Weisz involved in any way. Doesn't matter who she'd play. Naomi Watts seems like an odd fit. Knightley could make one heck of a Poison Ivy. Portman and Lively....eh.  They don't do much for me.  Anne Hathaway has the best look to play Christian Bale's lady love. 

I'm just happy we don't see Sandra Bullock's name anywhere on the list.
