Six beautiful actresses are reportedly under consideration for the two unspecified female leads in The Dark Knight Rises.
Deadline claims "one of the roles is a love interest for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne, and the other is a villain." The six actresses are Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz and Blake Lively.
Portman, a Star Wars vet, is no stranger to comic book movies having appeared in V for Vendetta and the forthcoming Thor. Knightley starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy and also was up for the female lead in Captain America: The First Avenger. Hathaway was rumored to be playing either the Black Cat or Vulturess in Spider-Man 4 before Sony opted to go the reboot route instead. Gossip Girl's Lively plays Carol Ferris in next summer's Green Lantern. Watts' genre films include The Ring and Peter Jackson's King Kong. Curiously enough, Oscar winner Weisz, whose stateside breakthrough came in The Mummy, has long been rumored for the role of Catwoman in the film.
That's quite an age range between actresses; the eldest is Watts at 42, the youngest Lively at 23.

(my vote is for Portman and Hathaway...they'd fit the style of the movie the best IMO)
