The Dark Knight Rises Killer Croc

[Venom 1988]

I hated asylums croc, he was to big, he had a tail.

If you're referring to the new game, he does not have a tail.

 

[Texas Zombie]

sry, i must have been shell shocked that he was 15 feet tall and had teeth busting through his closed mouth, he looked terrible. He looked fake.

KIMBO SLICE FOR KILLER CROC!!!
He has acting experience!!! Watch the Drake and Josh Christmas movie!!!


Haha, seriously though, I agree with the good Mr. Soze. Joker style Croc all the way. Though I did have mine own original idea for the character.

Actually, this was a part of my idea for bringing in Robin (yeah yeah, I know, "LaWL, siLLY!1! No RObiNs in TeH TEE-dEE-KaY!!1"), but it could probably be adapted for a Robin-less story.

I thought a cool back story for him could be that he was from Africa and was from a tribe that would give their males scars that resembled croc/gator scales upon reaching manhood (This part is real. I actually saw this on a TV show, which is what inspired it). There, he lived peacefully with his family until he was taken and his family killed and he fell into a scenario like Jet Li in "Unleashed" where he is forced to compete in an underground fighting type thing. Eventually, it is busted up by the cops, and he is left with nothing in a country he knows nothing about (at this point he is in America). Fortunately, he is able to find refuge with a traveling circus (dun-dun-duuunnn!!!). He becomes close with everyone in it and it's sort of like a big family. He is even able to contribute to the show by using a stage name, "Killer Croc", (from the tribal scars and the crooked and broken teeth from his underground fighting days) and the skills that he has, by performing in exhibition fights and strongman type stuff. (He would also have some cool interactions with Dick Grayson, being almost like an uncle to him, as far as the Robin story goes, but that's a different subject).

Anyway, his downfall happens when Dick Grayson's parents are killed and for a second time a family is ripped away from him. It hits him especially hard because in the confusion Dick went missing and Croc assumes he was killed too, and he had become attatched to Dick because he reminded him of the son he had lost in Africa. He takes to the darkness of the Gotham Sewers and begins a severe downward spiral that causes him to become the criminal Killer Croc we know.

It turns Croc into a bit more of a tragic character I suppose, and I could understand not everyone liking that. Plus, half the backstory probably wouldn't even make it into whatever movie he showed up in anyway. Just thinking outside the box though.

So do Batman and Joker, for that matter....it's a video game.

 

[Texas Zombie]

Batman looks like batman and joker actually looks pretty realistic, my only complaint with the whole game was killer croc.

 

[Ziggyman]

I guess we can say goodbye to Croc if the Spidey guys go ahead with the Lizard...

 

[Texas Zombie]

Well since the spiderman movies are rapidly going down hill idk

 

[BatScot]

Azzarello's 'Broken City' also presented a workable 'pre-crisis' take on Croc... but 'Godzilla-Man' is a definite no go, at least within the context of Nolan's 'grounded reality'.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Has nobody seen that guy with what looks like bark growing out of him?

I like your idea,has some details from an old BTAS episode.

Batman looks like batman and joker actually looks pretty realistic, my only complaint with the whole game was killer croc.

I didn't like Croc's fight, you only throw him to the water.

This is why a godzilla baby or even a remotely reptilian croc would never work and DOESN'T work(to me) in the comics.

WAY too similar to Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard over in Spider-Man.

And this is why the Joker HC Croc would work PERFECTLY for Nolan's movie as a high level enforcer for Penguin.

A very large man(black or white, I don't care), a bad skin condition that LOOKS like scales, broken, jagged teeth, and a cannibal. Penguin's personal bodyguard.

Batman beats the **** out of him in front of Penguin and everyone else in Penguin's Iceberg Lounge Office, which makes Penguin pee his pants.

It's perfect.

 

[returntovoid]

They should go with the original Pre-Crisis Killer Croc written by Gerry Conway, who is a muscular Gangster with scaly/reptillian skin condition and is affiliated with the Mob (Not the unrealistic giant from B:AA and Batman: Hush).

WAY too similar to Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard over in Spider-Man.

Portraying Killer Croc as a tragic figure will make him too similar to The Lizard.

Croc would work PERFECTLY for Nolan's movie as a high level enforcer for Penguin.

That will work well since Killer Croc was affiliated with the Mob, in the Gerry Conway run.

I like this idea.

I can hear Penguin now "Waylon you have my permission to exterminate this cretin !"

lol

 

[Rodrigo90]

Oswald having Croc as his bodyguard,could account why people see fit to call him Penguin,which unlike Devito,a name he hates for himself.

"He's got a guy called Croc. We call him Penguin. They both enjoy their swimming lessons".

 

[returntovoid]

I think Killer Croc should be played by actor Michael Clarke Duncan.

This is one of the better ideas for a movie Killer Croc that I have read. I don't think he would be that hard to use in Nolan's universe. His Joker did open the door for more freaks to come out of the woodwork.

 

[Rodrigo90]

But what was the Croc in Gotham Knight? He was a monster in that.

 

[returntovoid]

In Gotham Knight, Killer Croc was just some mysterious creature living in the sewers.

 

[Piuchén]

I think Killer Croc should be played by actor Michael Clarke Duncan.

I think is a little old for the role but of course he is a great actor.

 

[BareYourTeeth]

I think would Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje would play a ferocious Killer Croc

 

[Rodrigo90]

He should appear like Joseph Merrick IMO.

Also,check out this skin disease Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis.

 

[RustyCage]

... but I suppose the writers of the next film may not count GK into the canon of the live-action trilogy :/

I can't seem to accomplish that myself either.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Why not either Kimbo Slice or that black dude from Never Back Down as Killer Croc.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I thought of a way we could have a reptillian-looking Croc in a Nolan film without him actually being reptillian. Look at Dennis Smith, a man who's body is heavily modified and tattooed to resemble a tiger's, right down to the black and orange stripes he has, his sharp teeth and an animatronic tail he has implanted. I'm thinking Croc could've heavily modified his body similarly and already had a skin condition at the same time, so he modified and tattooed his body to look even more reptillian. I reckon such an approach can yield Croc in a Nolan Batman film that looks fairly close to the toy I posted in my first post, and is a good way to maintain the classic look of Croc without it being too OTT or monster-like. It's doubtful Nolan will ever loosen his position on the realism in his films, so that might be the best step for a Croc that's monstrous and yet isn't in one of his Batman films.

 

[Rodrigo90]

This is the result Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis,the disease which Croc has.

A REAL DISEASE. Which is not unrealistic at all.
