The Dark Knight Should Black Mask/Roman Sionis be in TDK?

[Two-Face]

Well?

 

[Cinemaman]

Well, i wouldn't have problem with him.

But won't it be the whole adaptation of TLH? As I know Batman movies are adaptations of comics (not only one).

If he works in the script, I'd be fine.

 

[E-Mack]

Only if the only other villains would be Maroni and Joker. Otherwise, I think it'll just be crowding everything.

 

[Two-Face]

Well Nolan could have like Scarecrow screen time for Roman.

I thought Black Mask was a girl? lol Who was that chick in that cartoon movie???

He's perfect if the rumors of a Bruce Wayne subplot are true. I'd love to see Batman battle the Joker and the Penguin while Bruce Wayne has his hands full with Roman Sionis. Besides introducing another character from the comics, you also keep the Bruce Wayne character from being lost in his own film.

It's a waste of a villain then. Which is why I actually prefer we have 2 villains tops, you go over than that and you tend to have to spread the screentime over those characters, thus decreasing the amount of development that goes into them.

The Phantasm?

 

[fabman]

!? Which chick? Catwoman?

 

[StorminNorman]

Yes, I want him to be challenging traditional organized crime. Maroni or Thorne should be the traditonal Mobster. Penguin should be involved somehow as well. The Joker should be causing all three of them (plus the police, public and Batman) trouble of all sorts.

The Phantasm?

I think that's the one... she shouldn't be in the movie.

Who's black mask?

I thought Nolan handled characters around Batman very well, I don't think that will be a problem for the director.

Scarecrow was severely underused. I even felt that Ra's could've used more screentime as well.

BUT I realize this is an origin film, so it's understandable. I expect much more development going into the villains in the sequels.

^ thanks

I dislike the idea of every movie all of Batman's troubles comes from a single pair of villians. Come on. If Gotham City is becoming a city full of freaks, then why not have it be a city full of freaks? Besides having a central plot, have other villians make appearances. Now Black Mask is such a villian that deserves to have a fair bit of screentime - like Two Face said, about as much as Scarecrow in BB, however I hope they are not afraid of throwing in smaller villians making cameo appearances.

- Batman should ALWAYS be the focus, not the villians.

I'm not exactly disagreeing with that.

Let me clarify a bit. With villains that have potential for a good story, I want the best screentime for them. Obviously, for the likes of someone like Penguin, Maroni, Falcone or whatever, a small role is justifiable. There's not much you can do for them.

Black Mask I think has very good potential. He's a mirror of Bruce in many ways, and they can play off that. So that's why I don't want too many villains here if possible.

Are you INTENTIONALLY trying to twist my words?

I never said the focus shouldn't be Batman. That's plain idiotic and I'd feel slightly insulted if that statement wasn't so stupid.

BB felt like 85% Batman, and 15% villains. Like I said, for an origin film, that's FINE.

But with the origin outta the way, there's a bit more leeway to go into other characters as well. Not necessarily 50-50, but 65-35. Get it?

It was much better than B89 with 45% for Batman and 55% for Joker, especially if there was only one villian.

 

[Two-Face]

If BM is in TDK then who should play him?

You guys are looking at things in my post that aren't even implied.

Yeah, BB handled things better than B89, but I also feel the villains should get more screentime now that the origin is finished.

Well, I think there should be a bit more villians stuff and action. But Batman should stay like the main character.

That's....what I've been saying all along.

Who says that Black Mask would only be around for one movie? Maroni/Thorne and Black Mask should be smaller villians, the size of Falcone and Scarecrow in BB. However while I think Maroni or Thorne will die in TDK, or atleast not return, Black Mask can and should return in BB3.
