Next Batman film...

[Kaeb]

It means its a possiblity and I had always assumed based on the ending that the Joker was supposed to return and quite frankly that would've been awesome.

 

[Galykia]

Another great villian idea, Solomon Grundy.
Also would like a backstory of gotham getting a death penalty.

I don't think that Catwoman will appear, for the above reasons. Killer Croc would be cool, but I don't think he's big enough or smart enough (from what I've read and seen) to play a major role. He might be in the beginning on a rampage as Batman puts him down.

Personally, I'd like to see the Penguin. His character is meant to show what Bruce could have been. They're both smart and super rich (and have an animal theme, for that matter), but Penguin went bad. His wealth and influence, though, could make it hard on Batman in the next movie.

Are you serious..?

Nolan's said he wants to stay away from all the supernatural aspects of Batman. That means no villains with powers or god forbid retard zombies.

Personally, I'd like to see the Penguin.

The Penguin is one of the most hated villains in the comic book genre, theres nothing appealing or likeable about the character and The Joker and Scarecrow may have been theatrical, but not so much as to use birds, umbrellas and a laugh that sounds suspicously similair to a Penguin.

He's fat, hes annoying, repetitive and overall not entertaining or intimidating at all. So I really don't see him appearing in the Nolan series of films.

Hey I like grundy, so what. If you dont like it, GTFO. :CStern:

 

[The Count of Monte Cristo]

Riddler would be perfect.
Ivy would be decent. Hear me out. Screw some of the supernatural and freaky Ivy characters. She'd use poisons and chemicals from plants.
Now Ivy on her own would be a shitty character. But The Riddler has the brains to come up with a brilliant plan and Ivy is there to kill. Batman will take out the Riddler at some point, then Ivy will start randomly killing and going on an uncontrolled rampage where Batman takes her out.

Don't get me wrong, I like Grundy but not in a movie such as Nolans series.

Thank you, someone understands things.

Poison Ivy is really a character I'm not sure about, if you take out her control of plants then really...thats not her at all.

If shes just some chick with poisons and chemicals...then thats all she is, some chick with poisons and chemicals shes not a comic book or movie villain. Plus you'd have to find a motivation for the character that the audience can relate too.

Think of it this way:

The opening credits begin, revealing the director, writer, producer and main actors, a triumphant epic backtrack plays with the dark text. The black background fades into a night sky, and the camera pans down to reveal Arkham Asylum. Alarms and guard dogs can be heared echoing throughout the area and suddenly we a see an inidividual climbing over the walls, it is revealed to be a blonde woman.

She runs by the camera and instantly the scene changes to that of a news reporter speaking to his boss.

''Her names Harley Quinn, was reported to be severely shizopphrenic, when her cell mate died, known by the Alias the Joker, she wen't even loonier and escaped. Its the hottest story we've got right now and you know it.''

The Boss seemed very interested, there hadn't been an escape from Arkham Asylum in decades, it was a heavily fortified Institution but most of the media was all over this.

The scene changes to that of bruce wayne, in the newly renovated batcave, observing a news report of the escape...he was visibly shaken by the concept of someone escaping the institute and strangely was even further suprised by the death of the joker.

And thats only the introduction, once Harley Quinn is out of the way they can do something with the Riddler.

True, I really do think the Riddler needs to be in the next movie.


Harley would be interesting to see when she is a serious character.

The only reason I vouch for her to be in the film is because of this video:

Even if its just a short appearance like the Scarecrow did in the Dark Knight.

And then move on to a new villain in town, looking to follow the choas example led by the Joker.

This is from Wikipedia, about his realistic appearance in the Joker graphic novel:

• A radically different hipster style interpretation was featured in Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo's Joker. In this version he wears a solid green jacket With the Question marks on the very back of it and a spiral of Question marks around his abdomen. His cane serves the purpose of helping to prop The Riddler up, due to a disabled leg. In the story, he sells an unknown substance to the Joker.

A disabled leg, an awesome outfit, shades, a cane and an insanely smart and insane mind behind that persona?

That sounds like a fantastic Villain if you ask me.

EDIT: Also found this, thought it was interesting looking for the people vouching for Catwoman to be in the next movie:

 

[Brandon Rhea]

If Kristen Bell was Catwoman all my dreams would come true.

 

[Kaeb]

Meh, I just thought the costume seemed interesting, almost seemed practical. But shes not the kind of villain I think would work for a Nolan villain, we don't need a thief. We need another mass murderer...

hence:

KICK ASS HIPSTER VERSION OF THE RIDDLER!!!

 

[Ser Gregor]

We get it, you want the Riddler. You're beating a dead horse now, Kaeb. _-_

 

[Kaeb]

Not just him, but this piece o eye candy too:

Really like their take on the character.

You just posted that. Like... not 30 minutes ago. No need to post it again.

Harley as a character would be interesting, but she doesn't have the powerbase to be a main villain. She could definitely work in conjunction with, as you sugges, the Riddler.

However, I still feel that Nolan would be best to try something new once again. Rahs al Ghul is virtually nothing like the Joker in methods. Their end goal was similar to an extent, but they were vastly different characters.

I agree with you completely, although Rahs Al Gul sought to rob Gotham City of the decadance they valued so much, he also mentioned the other cities the League of Shadows had done this too, ''Sacking of Rome'' and ''the Great London Fires', etc.

However the Joker just loved Chaos, thats all it was, nothing more. He was just an agent of chaos, he held nothing dear, didn't feel empathy or remorse. He just....created chaos for the sake of chaos.

The Riddler, would be insane yes, but at a different level to the Joker, he would make up riddles in his own mind and incorporate them into his 'work'. And ultimately I dont know what he would want to achieve, or what his motivations would be. But thats Nolans job.

Because they can't bring the Joker back for the sequel, thats the only reason I would suggest Harley Quinn, because shes practically a female Joker.

 

[Ser Yorick]

Oh, and just to say, I seriously doubt the next movie (if there is one) would mention the death of the Joker. That's Batman's biggest villain. It's a philosophical struggle that has been going on almost since the inception of the character, and one that will continue until the day Batman fades from our popular culture. Heath Ledger may have died, but that doesn't mean the character will. They just won't mention beyond him being in a cell in Arkham or something.

 

[Kaeb]

True, but if they go the entire film without mentioning him that would be a little annoying. They could even dedicate the movie to him, at the ending credits.

They already dedicated The Dark Knight to him. There's no reason to dedicate another one to him, especially one that he's not in.

I thought it was funny when the little boys pretended to shoot the car and then it blew up.
