Remember one thing, two-face, ras all ghoul, mad hater and the scarecrow didn´t appear in the batman 2003 cartoon because thay were possibly going to be used in batman begins or it´s sequel.
Two-face, ras and the scarecrow were used, so i think that madhater is going to appear, and the riddler too since in previows ideas he was supposed to be the villain in the dark knight but they felt that it would be better to put the Joker.
 
A lot of people Ive read dont want the Riddler cause he is too similar to the Joker. How?

Joker was more or less a terrorist who had deluded beliefs of the world (dont they all?).

He doesn't have to be a serial killer,but still have those situations with his traps. He shouldn't be a terrorist like the Joker,making threats, blowing things up, and killing leaders.

Riddler should do a variety of different crimes,that force the authorities and Batman to be smart in the challenge,while he carries out his criminal activities.

Riddler is a challenger and Joker is an anarchist, this is how I differentiate the two.

:awesome:
 
IIn the comics the riddler is sane and is not a great threat, how are they going to make him a main villain?
 
Well Bond villains appear sane,but always have diabolical schemes.

Riddler has OCD and psychotic tendencies,but ACTS sane.
 
I think that Riddler is insane. Suave definitely has been a word describing him.

Riddler: Suave, Insane, Articulate.

Joker: Bold, Sane, Anarchist.

:awesome:
 
i would like to see Black Mask....That would be cool

I was thinking that Black Mask should be in, but dont' give him the 'skull mask'.

I was thinking the mask should represent 'beauty', something that he lost so it should be exotic looking. Almost feminine without being too girly; think of a Greek statue and its face.
 
^Exactly what I always thought. I thought the skull worked on him. I first found out about Black Mask through Morrison's ARKHAM ASYLUM, where he just has a plain, featureless black face, like you're staring into a void or black hole. I find it more unnerving than a skull.

I have always thought of riddler as that villain that appears not to be a big threat, but he is always ten steps ahead, but I always knew he could never beat batman.

Joker was unpredictable, riddler always seemed so predictible.

Also I like to think of those japanese samurai masks when thinking of black mask.


If I could name 3 villains I don't want to see in b3, riddler, clayface, and poison ivy.

I would really love to see any of the other characters, these are just characters I have no desire to see, but I don't think I would mind if they are done right.

I kinda' agree that with Riddler...although he may be a genius at what he does...does have patterns, intricate as they may be. As an anology....he may be the greatest chess player in the world...but at least you know it's chess and there's some sort of intrinsic order to what he's doing. Whereas with Joker, it's anything goes, motivated by a twisted, chaotic and erratic mind. It's more brutal and inhuman.

But I guess what Riddler lacks in physical/visceral brutality could be made up for by how intriguing the dynamics of his scheme are, and the evil fact that someone as intellectually talented as him chooses to use those talents the way he does. I just hope it's at least a bit more exciting than computer encryptions and the like. :O

What if he's like John Nash from A Beautiful Mind, but with a really bad temper and malevolent streak? :D

I think Zasasz would have made a brilliant villain. The psychological element is there, he'd really give Batman a run for his money as far as being a detective, and he's just plain unnerving in a Hannibal Lecter/7 sort of way. Unfortunately he was given a wasted cameo in Begins so more than likely wouldn't return later.

Huh? Could you explain how R is suave and J isn't, how J is sane and R isn't, and how R is articulate and J isn't?

Aren't they both dapper, melodramatic nut jobs? Aren't most comicbook villains?
 
The Riddler (mastermind and main villain)
The Penguin (small Mob Boss role like Falcone and Maroni)
Catwoman (petty criminal Batman encounters, anti-heroine and primary love interest for the Batman persona)
 
Roman Sionis- Mob Boss.Business Rival last act becomes Black Mask
Bane-Main Villain hired given initiative by BM to defeat Batman and bring his head on a platter in exchange for something(Spreading the word of who beat the bat maybe? identity of his father?) Bane would be one to beat the living crap out of Bruce but he would also be a tactical genius, formulating complext plots and at least once i want a Xanathos Troupe pulled off by Bane who calculated everything and thats how he pulled it off. Meanwhile Roman attacks Batman with the mob and Bruce on the business front. loosing it all when Bruce beats Bane and his compnay goes under, becomes BM and tries something(i dont know what, maybe holding Wayne Enterprises for Ransom with everyone locked inside? including Alfred?
 
Batman Begins was pretty much Year One.

The Dark Knight was pretty much The Long Halloween.

So...I'd place my bets and say that the third movie will pretty much be like Dark Victory; so that would add more sense to having Riddler and possibly Catwoman.

But if I was Nolan, I'd do the complete opposite and make the third movie more like War Games(but with some significance of Dark Victory, such as the addition of DA Janice Porter):

Have Black Mask raise awareness with the gangs and trying to unite them because Joker pretty much destroyed the gangs apart from the duration of The Dark Knight, so BM is trying to unite them all into one mega-gang while also trying to compete against Wayne Industries as Roman Sionis using his own company(have it called Sionis Tech maybe...it would further explain on the bounty hunter idea and where the weapons and tech comes from). He then decides to use his fame as Sionis and also help the police in tracking Batman down, so he seems like a great man with a great corporation behind him, he's helping the police in their manhunt against Batman, but he's also becoming a crime lord as Black Mask.

He then gets the police into letting him bring in some bounty hunters(See what I meant!), two specifically known as Deadshot and Bane(there could be other ones, but obviously lesser-known than those two) and an all-out war begins with the bounty hunters against Batman. Batman finds his way out of that mess and slowly comes to the conclusion that Sionis is Black Mask and defeats him(I'm pretty certain that the third film's main villain will kill themselves, as it fits the pattern of die, live, die).

And during that process, I want some build-up of two other things: Gordon once again becomes the solo good-cop during all of this and again helps Batman while trying to bring in other good cops from other districts to fight against the corrupt GCPD. And also in the movie, there is a new district attorney named Janice Porter(someone who was very close to Dent during college as well), who from the very beginning, does not think Batman is the villain that Gotham City has portrayed him to be and she even contacts Batman to let him know that she believes his innocence(a backstory involving Harvey Dent's sporadic episodes could be told via Porter(that's why she doesn't believe Batman killed Dent) so we further understand why he became such an evil person THAT fast during TDK).

The end of the movie sees Batman realizing how much he needs to be Bruce Wayne but also how much he needs to be Batman and decides to spend time as both equally, and so starts to date, and his first date is Janice Porter(I'd rather not bring in Selina Kyle if another female can be used, ala Porter). The date goes along fine until he hears sirens and then excuses himself and gives Porter some money for a taxi as he runs off and the film and trilogy ends off with Batman atop a building, peering down as the new Bat logo shines up into the sky.

Main villain - Roman Sionis, AKA Black Mask

Minor villains - Deadshot, Bane, and others such as a psychotic arsonist named Firefly, or maybe even a Joker-esque wannabe by the name of Mad Hatter(who aren't given first and last names, just their 'villain names')

New characters - District Attorney Janice Porter, Detective Harvey Bullock(another corrupt cop as Flass was in Batman Begins)

Cameos - Dr. Thomas Elliot(after another scuffle between Batman and Scarecrow(yes, Scarecrow needs to return for one more time) Batman returns Crane back to Arkham and hands him off to Dr. Elliot(you see his nametag, as he wouldn't need to have a lot of lines)), The Iceberg Lounge(a regular place that Roman Sionis attends)
 
Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are actually set in year one, and i hope batman 3 does it too.
 
If the rumors about 'whereisbrucewayne.com' are true, then the third film will only be six months after TDK.
 
Really?
Do you know how after batman begins the dark knight takes place?
I remember that it was still less than a year before begins.

The Joker says at the mob meeting "A year ago these Cops and Lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you"
 
TDK takes place a year after Batman Begins. The Joker says so in his meeting with the mob.
 
I said that they are set in year one but i wanted to know how much time they are set between each other, 5 months, six months? that´s what i want to know, joker sais that one year before there was no batman but that means that the dark knight is not set exactly one tear after begins it only tells us that TDK is set in year one, the dark knight could possibly even be set 2 weeks after begins but with the statements from the film we can see that the dark knight is set some month after Batman Begins since they say that they are with batman after the mafia for some months but i would like something more specific, sorry to ask, it´s a tricky question.
