[Ace of Knaves]

sounds familiar...

Spoiler

YES!!!! Just like that!!! But with Batman and Deathstroke!

 

[anrrd_2]

^sold!!!!daniel craig for deathstroke = perfection

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Very good choice. Either him or Viggo Mortenson, I think Viggo has got the perfect voice.

 

[anrrd_2]

hows about a 3 way batman/deathstroke/david cain showdown

 

[Jolly C.]

that sounds badass...maybe it could start as batman being taunted into a riddler trap in some building then deathstroke interveens and they start fighting and i pictured it to be like deathstrke is kicking batmans ass and batman is trying to keep up with him

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea, we need a villain who can physically beat Batman. Deathstroke fits that description.

 

[regwec]

Daniel Craig would be better as King Snake.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I'm not too familiar with King Snake, what stories is he prominent in?

For someone like Deathstroke you need someone with a unique voice and piercing eyes, like Viggo Mortenson.

 

[regwec]

Timothy Dalton would be a fantastic Slade Wilson, if an unconventional choice.

Am currently trying to recall King Snake storylines. But he is a blind British martial artist, and literally Bane's daddy.

 

[Jolly C.]

hmm i think riddler deathstroke and another villain maybe black mask could fit in....i just think there should be more than two villains in the next storyline mabe deathstroke could be partners with bane, mercinaries trying to hunt down batman?

 

[Melkior]

F%#%^#% Bat nipples!

pfft, seriously though....I'd probably like to see snow in Gotham.....and I'd want to see Bruce Wayne "brooding" more. I want to see him becoming less humorous with Alfred as the film progresses.

[p4poetic]

Well that goes without saying.


That's true... escalation...

How 'bout the ninjas are just larger? 12 feet tall ninjas outta do the trick.

Yes...shirtless, sweaty and nice sweat pants to go with that.

 

[Jolly C.]

YES!!!! Just like that!!! But with Batman and Deathstroke!

ace...as much as i totally agree that deathstroke should be in the next batman i was browsing at batman villains on a number of sites and didnt find him under batman villains but hes a teen titan villain...do you think the rules could be bent about him being in a batman film?

 

[Two-Face]

edit

 

[Two-Face]

Rubert Thorne or Alberto Falcone
Catwoman
The Riddler

Two-Face (flashback)

I hope Bruce keeps his batsuit until end of movie not "My suit carrying too much weight, I need to be faster" crap.

A new Batmobile maybe different style and batcave rebuild under Wayne Manor.

 

[ronny]

I want them to keep the ambiguity over Two-Face's death.
Nolan may consider him dead but keep the option open for a return. I love the character and want to see Eckhart return one day.

Characters:
Matches Malone
Richard Grayson
Jason Todd
The Riddler
Firefly
Deathstroke
Tony Zucco
The Penguin
Catwoman
Guido Bertinelli
The Drakes

Summary:
Batman is feeling the pinch of being a target by the police, citizens, and possibly an assassin that responds to a possible reward for his arrest/capture (assuming that "Alive" not "Dead" are the terms), to the point that he resorts to diverting his efforts to smaller-scale criminals, like one particular burglar that may try to steal from a Wayne-owned gallery.

The world in SOTB is virtually the opposite of that the Joker mentions in TDK: the mob is stronger and Batman feels as if he's been backed into a corner, so eventually he takes on the identity of a missing mob-commissioned arsonist to take down the underworld from the inside.

In addition:

• Two teenagers who have experienced the loss of their parents by the hands of the mob take to their own resources, indirectly provided by Wayne to help them (and their orphanage) financially after witnessing their parents' deaths at the circus, to exact revenge on their parents' murderers.
• One club (and possible umbrella boutique) owner deals arms to the mob, but has larger ambitions.
• One man who doesn't believe that Batman is responsible for the murders he allegedly committed terrorizes the GCPD and others via riddles. (I must admit, I'm a fan of this idea that was posted from the BOF(?) boards; I give credit to that poster for this idea.)

The characters' attitudes and motivations will give credence to the title of the film Shadow of the Bat: they desire to follow it for their own benefit (GCPD, Deathstroke, the Riddler, random citizens, the mob, etc.), they desire to follow in it (Grayson and Todd), and one faces the conundrum of evading or embracing it in the midst of the turmoil that occurs throughout the film (Bruce Wayne).

Any constructive criticism?

 

[MaceB]

If there were a particular inspiration for the next film, I'd like it to be Chinatown and other modern Noir films. Nolan has already proven that he rocks at this with Memento.
I don't know the particulars, but Catwoman could be the femme fatale - the woman/love interest who enlists Batman's help, but who turns out to have nefarious selfish aims.
The Riddler would be connected somehow to Catwoman and causing havoc all over Gotham as a Zodiac type seriel killer. In the end, we'd find that the Riddler was actually a distraction hired by the Penguin in order for him to trigger a gang war in Gotham without Batman's interferrence-thereby profiting with his gun smuggling operation. The climax would be an all out street war in which the gang members are supplied with high end technology from the Penguin.
I'd like to see snow in Gotham as well, and maybe Batman with some some scruff going. I feel like the next movie should be a mystery; it would depict Bruce as someone who's finally losing himself in his costume... so much so, that he becomes obsessed with uncovering the Riddler's bizarre puzzles. He becomes so diverted by trying to find the Riddler and Catwoman, that he misses the real threat... the Penguin.
I'd also like to see Batman bleed a little.

Use one of Ledger's lines in TDK and repeat it in TDK's finale.

Or, better yet, find Ledger's doctor, get a smaple of his DNa and make a clone.

I think so. The thing with Slade is that he is a thorn in a lot of DC characters sides, including other villains as well sometimes. He could adapted to alot of films really. GL and Green Arrow for examples.

He even had a solo that ran for 60 odd issues. There could even be a solo film about him, his origin and his character with his code of honour could be quite interesting to see played out on film.
