Next Batman Villain?

[NewYorkSpider]

A horror movie type of version of Killer Croc would work to me.

This is why I would love for David Fincher to get on board and direct a Batman film. I think he would be perfect for someone like Killer Croc.

I want to see a Killer Croc where he is more animal than human. Sort of like Arkham Asylum version, but makes him a little smaller and make him look a little more gritty. Also, I would make Croc a little smarter. Not saying he has to be Bane level smart, but smart enough to wear Batman does have to figure out ways to stop him, instead of only being worried about him physically. I want to see Batman investigate murders in the sewers and he has to track this animal down. We spend a lot of time in the sewers where it's dark and wet. He comes across Croc eating a human and looking a bloody mess and Batman gets defeated by how vicous croc is that he has to retreat.

I personally hate the animal version of Killer Croc. He is a very uninteresting villain to begin with, make him a stupid looking animal takes the cake. One thing i hate about the Arkham Games is that everybody has to be monstrous looking for the sake of having a boss, especially Bane. The only version of Croc i like is the Lee Bermejo one. I wouldn't mind a more animalistic take on that version but please keep him human.

My top choices are Mr. Freeze and Black Mask. The former is a villain who needs redemption on the big screen, and the latter is a villain unlike any seen before in a Batman movie. Plus, I'd like to see Black Mask hire the likes of Deathstroke and Deadshot to take out Batman in an Arkham Origins-style film. Court of Owls would be a unique way to go as well.

I'd rather they wait on the villains Nolan used in his trilogy (such as Joker, Bane, Ra's al Ghul and Two-Face) for a while. Killer Croc wouldn't be a great option either, as there will certainly be comparisons to Amazing Spider-Man's Lizard. Though, Man-Bat would be an interesting choice.

Basically you need one person with powers, either via weaponry or their own body, and one "normal." Batman and Robin blew the load by putting two of the heavy hitters..I'm sorry, three of the heavy hitters in one movie.

Im trying to figure out the fascination with Killer Croc. So many people want to see him. Is it only because he's different from what we've seen in the previous trilogy? Because that's not the best reason for using a character within a story.

I just dont get it. Croc is a dumbed down version of the Lizard. He's one dimensional. He's a side character at best. Pretty minor.

BTW Man-Bat as a character especially pre-Man Bat, is even more like Lizard. So i dont get the "No Croc, but im good for Man-Bat!"

 

[the last son]

Well yes, to me going away from the previous trilogy is a strong reason to consider croc. People want something different and I pointed out a few changes you can make to update Croc and I'm sure talented writers out there can write a good croc story. Especially like I said if you went with a more horror/detective story featuring him.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

I get why people want something different, but I would only want Croc in a small role ala Scarecrow in TDK or The Rhino in TASM2 (presumably)

I'd rather they attempt Clayface if they wanted something 'out-there'.

 

[NosfeRomas]

Man-Bat is pretty decent with Talia and the League of Assassins and by himself he is another Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. He is not bad, he is not very good. A bit underdeveloped, i would like some more stories with him cause unlike Croc he seems interesting.

I would love to see Clayface, the Basil Kalo version of him. The way they handled him in Arkham City was pretty awesome, his motivation really sold the character to me.

I would rather see Clayface as well if they want to go with one of the monster villains.

Killer Croc just isn't interesting enough for me as a main Batman villain.

 

[terry78]

I say stick Croc in there so we get another black dude in the franchise aside from Lucius Fox.

 

[shauner111]

I wouldn't mind a Brian Azarello version of Killer Croc. He's the only one i ever liked. But as a small side character.

Clayface is more interesting than Croc or Man-Bat.

So this one is going out on a limb, but I actually really like it.

The Penguin, as an extremely rich, young, only mildly deformed but extremely depraved, unmoral financial and/or tech company mogul, who very well may have murdered his parents as a young kid. Totally ruthless. Loves the finest things in life. Total rich kid scumbag. Smokes black blunts, and has high tech umbrellas (the type pictured here is actually by a company called Blunt). Impeccable fashion sense.

Comes from the same world as Bruce Wayne but obviously much younger... in many ways, a direct foil to Wayne. Whereas Bruce's parents were killed and it turned him into Batman, Cobblepot's first kill as Penguin was his parents and various kids who tormented him while growing up. He's a master of manipulation, tied to every person of power either through coercion, bribery, and carefully orchestrated murders. Rarely gets his own hands dirty, but when he does, he's absolutely vicious and sadistic.

Dresses in all black. Accent colors are a cool blue, and a sickly orange. Ice blue to symbolize his icy sociopathy and glacial patience in planning. Orange to reference the coloring of King Penguins, as well as to accent that the kid smokes WAY too much. Sallow eyes, short, fat, with a deformed right dominant hand that could have been fixed at birth if his parents hadn't been so totally apathetic, absent and neglectful.

And here's the ridiculous image of Joker & Penguin (a much sillier version that I did for the Joker thread) that inspired me to take Jonah Hill seriously as a really out-of-left field, thoroughly modern monster that merges a lot of the kinds of celebrity rich kid tech moguls that we see in the news & popular culture with the visual flare of a Bond villain.

Going to do Killer Croc next...

If they go the fantastic route, i would like to see Clayface.

So i voted for him.

Would love to see how they'd do Clayface on the big screen. He's a character that hasn't been done before in live action.

 

[Two-Face]

I would love to see Killer Croc in the Batfleck films

 

[ThePhantasm]

[Spider-Aziz]

Clayface
He can be lots of fun

 

[SilentWarriorZ]

Clay face looks badass compare to penguin but maybe a team up would do good .

 

[Rodrigo90]

Clayface would be downright awesome to use.

The tension of knowing nobody can be trusted when he's involved.

 

[Two-Face]

I want Croc! in the Batfleck films! "I threw a rock at him... it was a bog rock.... " LOL

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Clayface could be used to show villains not made to be used as movie villains as well, like Signal Man

I want Croc! in the Batfleck films! "I threw a rock at him... it was a bog rock.... " LOL

"HIT HIM WITH A ROCK"
They might leave that and make him eat people

 

[bluerayer]

I gotta say that is a terrific version of Clayface, look at those eyes...

Anyone know where its from?

 

[Two-Face]

Batman Arkham City game.
