The Dark Knight Rises Deadshot

[Hunter Rider]

There are lot of multiple choice ideas and villain proposition and adaption ideas floating around but i think Deadshot is a character that fits well within the approach Nolan has taken to this franchise.

At the end of TDK Batman is a fugitive so it stands to reason that in a 3rd movie the GCPD would be hunting him. Obviously they are not capable of catching him, especially since Gordon won't be pushing hard for it, so my idea is that Deadshot is adapted as a member of the US special forces who is used on black ops missions, he works alone and is used from time to time by the FBI to hunt special criminals. With rising pressure to bring Batman in, the mayor turns to the idea of bringing Deadshot in to hunt Batman.

You get to see him in gotham knight...which is set in the same world as the Nolan's film.

 

[OwlBoy]

Deadshot did start out as pretending to be a Robin Hood-esque vigilante who promoted himself as a champion of the people while secretly pulling off his own crimes. With Batman's status as an outlaw it might make sense that someone with that m.o. might try to make their way into Gotham. Thing is Deadshot is more popular as a villain and he was already used in the Gotham Knight animated movie so that might hinder him being used in the third movie.

 

[Heretic]

I can see it now...they bring in Deadshot and Batman says "I beat him already...and it was easy". The mayor then realizes that he didnt buy the DVD.

Tis true...But you do also see Killer Croc in it...

No, it's really not. It follows the same "timeline" I guess you could say, but one look at that entire movie makes it damn clear this is an "alternate" Gotham that's very different from Nolan's.

Don't you think that going by that logic, the mayor would have brought in Deadshot to take down the Joker in TDK?

 

[OwlBoy]

Well he wouldn't have had to, Batman was still a good guy at the time.

 

[COMPO]

I actually thought Deadshot should come in in the forth film have this film deal with Batman regaining Gothams faith and the fourth film have him become some waht of a legend and attracting people to Gotham Ie Deadshot who is trying to kill him to claim credit of doing so.

Exactly, it's very much it's own interpretation and i doubt many movie goers will be going "Oh man he was in the animated DVD" in 3 years time.

Don't you think that going by that logic, the mayor would have brought in Deadshot to take down the Joker in TDK?

As OwlBoy said, at that point Batman was still a "good guy" and of Course Dent was leading the charge on the legal front.

I like the overall idea but honestly we will be lucky to get a 3rd movie with this team, i highly doubt we'll get a 4th.

 

[Nepenthes]

The best way to do Deadshot would be introduce him as the Gentlemen Vigilante first. And he publicly challenges Batman for the protectorate of Gotham. Then he you find out he was crooked all along and working with the Riddler or Penguin maybe

 

[Joker's Lackey]

Why not bring Deadshot and Catwoman in the fourth film? They both could be partners in crime till Catwoman stole something from him and ran to Gotham to hide, Deadshot comes hunting, and their game of Cat and mouse turns Gotham upside down leaving Batman to find an end to their game.


Also any casting ideas for DS?

My pick
Billy Crudup http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001082/

 

[I am vengence]

Deadshot? This is how I would like to see it done:

Inspired by the comic series "Batman: Gotham Nights" (not to be confused with "Knights") and "No Man's Land". Most of the film could be seen from the eyes of Gotham's citizens. Batman is portrayed as the boogeyman in the film. Knowing he's a fugitive doesn't help things.

The mafia is in shambles after TDK. Remember the movie "The Warriors"? I would have all these colorful gangs feuding over who's going to run Gotham. This could be part of the "esculation" Gordon was rambing about in BB. You have Black Mask, the leader of the False Face Society. Ventriloquist, a gangster with a few screws loose (and a dummy to boot). The Penguin, a wealthy arms dealer and businessman.

All hell breaks loose and the government declares Gotham a war zone. Deadshot, a gun-for-hire is sent in to eliminate the new crime bosses, as well as the Batman.

As far as Batman clearing his name goes I would have a scene with Ramirez. Batman nearly risks his life saving her (much like the animated "Gotham Knight"). She comes clean with the public on Dent.

P.S. Call it "Gotham".

Good choice, but he's already Dr. Manhattan so I doubt he'd do it.

The idea of Deadshot is very good though... I could definitely see him fitting into the Nolanverse... he should definitely be a hired gun or a a supporting villain though. I don't think you could make DS the "big" bad guy in a film.

 

[GhostPoet]

Still say Riddler is the best AND most logicial choice.

 

[MiniBond]

When I hear deashot I can't impeach myself to think about Ray Park for the part....t:

 

[I am vengence]

Even if he's plays second fiddle to another villain I would be happy with that. Batman being a fugitive is the perfect plot for Deadshot to be involved with. This kind of reminds me of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo when the samurai faces the gunslinger. If done right it could be awesome.

Timothy Olyphant

 

[IronLion]

deadshot is a good idea. gaotham knoght is meant to be set between begins and tdk. introduced deadshot and killer croc. deadshot was the best, never beaten, international assasin for hire....until he met batman. he was beaten, taken out of the game, and he wants revenge. he 'came the closest' to taking out batman(some liberties acn be taken in the script), hes in prison, and he has been plotting, biding his time. he is approached by the mayor. they need him to get batman. he gets released, and he is on the hunt....

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

I would have all these colorful gangs

hmmm yes, I see neon....

 

[Vanquisher]

Deadshot is Ok, but IMO, they still need a primary villain.

I think a deadshot á la the washington sniper who would have the city in fear would be a good way to go. Whoever the bad guy is must be a threat to the WHOLE city, and a sniper who randomly kills from anywhere would be a great way of making sure that the whole city is at risk.

Or he could be hired by the mob to bring down batman?

I like that idea. Kinda reminiscent of Dirty Harry too

 

[The Major]

I like the idea of a shady government agency using Deadshot to bring in or kill Batman.

He'd make a great partner to someone like the Riddler who could be the main villain in the movie.

 

[Killing Joke926]

For me, I think Deadshot would be great in Nolan's world of BatMan, thanks to Gotham Knight and it's sort of realistic feel; with that said, I think Timothy is a very interesting idea, but right now I'm kinda leaning towards Temuera Morrison.
