Nolan has been doing it by film, they've offered him a deal to come and round out the trilogy - he hasn't agreed to it though.
The Depp as Riddler and Hoffman as Penguin is a rumour - it came from an interview with Michael Caine. They were talking to him and he said something along the lines of "i asked the studio how they're going to top the dark knight, and they replied: "simple, johnny depp as the riddle and phillip seymour hoffman as the penguin" "
So yeah, it's just a rumour. No one will be cast until Nolan agrees to come back. Bale however is signed on for than likely already signed for the 3rd - as most actors in franchises like these are signed to deals for a trilogy when the first is made (tobey maguire was as well)
