As Poison Ivy!

 

[DeadlyWest]

As I said before, I need Part II's opening to be Dredd condensed down to 10 minutes as Batman works his way up Penguin's penthouse to send him a message that he's no longer free to do as he's been doing

 

[Boom]

Alright what do we say to another round of "Guess the villain?"

Court Of Owls.

Deeply convinced it’s Hush.

 

[Boom]

We're getting Freeze.

Alright what do we say to another round of "Guess the villain?"

Hush makes the most sense.

Villain who has personal connections to Bruce Wayne, who debuted as the "big bad" in a large ensemble Batman comic book story written by Jeph Loeb, has a cool film-noir look, etc. Just makes the most sense as a sequel for The Batman.

"Metahuman" characters like Mr. Freeze are very unlikely. I think its probably time for you guys to let that dream die (unless the Reeveverse gets folded into the DCU, which is unlikely to happen).

I think Hush most likely, if the Clayface movie wasn’t happening I’d think Clayface too but I think it’s unlikely now.

I know she’s a little younger than usually portrayed but I’d really love Rosario’s energy for Leslie. Similar to how she played Claire in Daredevil but that might be too similar.

I’ve been back and forth on Robin but with this film taking place in the winter I wouldn’t hesitate to see Bruce and Dick together on Christmas as the film ends, I’ve also stayed by the fact forever that Cassandra Cain would be great in this universe

Alright what do we say to another round of "Guess the villain?"

Maxwell Cort / Night Scourge & Dr. Jeremiah Arkham, with Penguin & Catwoman returning too (and additional cameos by Riddler & Sofia Gigante as Arkham inmates).

Freeze, genuinely, doesn’t take that much grounding - he just needs a gun that freezes people to death and that isn’t a thing that’s horrendously hard to turn into a piece of mild sci-fi tech like what Bruce uses in the first movie. Liquid nitrogen based or whatever.

We’d have to cringe through a silly new name that isn’t Fries but it’d be worth it. We survived Oz Cobb.

My wishlist/predictions for part II would be Mr freeze as the villain, a winter setting obviously, harvey dent introduced as a close friend of bruce’s, selina returning towards the end of the film, and dick grayson being introduced right at the end to set up part III. Will be happy to get any of these honestly. So hyped to get some casting news soon

If Freeze can work in Gotham Central then he can work here.

No clue who the main villain will be, but definitely could see dent and crane being involved somehow. I think hush is an opportunity for Reeves to reinvent a villain that many people wouldn't be too upset with it being done.

Honestly, there are so many ways this could go so it'll be interesting to see what direction he goes in. He does like the 60s series so I feel like freeze is a possibility.
