The Dark Knight Rises Villains you most want to see in sequels? (Post fan art if yee wish)

[RustyCage]

I dig the Catwoman being a more vicious/killy sort of vigilante angle, and having a vendetta against Black Mask. Naturally I expect Nolan would make that story point more faceted and harder to accurately predict.

Ok you don´t understand I think I´m wasting my time trying to explain it for you.

Actually, I understood perfectly, and directly addressed your complaint. There was no need to re-state it as if you were saying something new. Not understanding and thinking it's nonsense are two different things. Sorry if that's harsh.

actually she's not. she was amazing in 'Nothing But the Truth'

Yeah, don't take actor/actress bashings on here too seriously. It's pretty ridiculous sometimes the people that get insulted and the people that get praised.

 

[Mister H.]

I don't think its ridiculous at all to say Beckinsale is a pretty bad actress. Outside of fanboys who want to see her in a Catwoman suit, I doubt there is much clamoring for her to appear in Batman 3.

There are sexy actresses who are also fine actors. I'm guessing that's the direction Nolan would go, if Catwoman is in it, which I kind of doubt.

Please nobody tell me Jett's been hinting at Catwoman. He's the same jerk that was hinting at Penguin and Black Mask throughout the TDK pre-production.

 

[Golgo-13]

The Ventriliquist, Black Mask and Catwoman.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I really wanna see them pull off a Catwoman who is more than just a hot actress in leather...

 

[Tony]

Black Mask, Bane, and Talia al Ghul

 

[John Locke]

I'd like to see Michael Emerson as the Riddler. Riddler working for the cops but also working for Talia al Ghul to investigate what happened to her father and played by Katheryn Winnick.

 

[Hobgoblin]

I like how Nolan has made the mob into a central part of Gotham's criminal world. I can see Black Mask and Penguin being a part of that organized crime mentality. It may be a little "Batman Returns" but I like the idea of Catwoman having it in for one of the bad guys. Then again, she had it in for Carmine Falcone in TLH so I guess its in character.

word. Agree with what you said about Cotillard btw

 

[Spider-Kurt!]

Personally,I'd like to see an opening scene of Catwoman breaking into a crime boss' penthouse only to be confronted by Batman on her way out.They go thru a rooftop chase until they're hit by a GCPD spotlight and they both escape. While I'd love to see another take on Batman and Catwoman's relationship this go round, part of me feels that it would be better to explore it in another sequel. Especially if we do get a different director after Batman 3. I think introducing Catwoman in this movie and exploring her character more in the next would be a nice way to "bridge the gap" of this franchise and the next.

 

[Daredevil]

I voted for The Penguin, Riddler, and Mr Freeze. I think Nolan could do something great with the Riddler especially.

BANE. Played by Javier Bardem. Make it happen.

Casting Javier Bardem as Bane would be like casting DDL as the Blob.

My pics for Bane are Bardem and The Rock, they're both good if not great actors, big, and tall with a presence

 

[regwec]

I think that Bardem is massively overrated, while the complexity of Bane as a potential role is generally ignored. So I would say it would be more like casting Ricky Gervais as The Penguin.

I think he's a fine actor but who really wants a Bane that is smaller than Batman?

 

[Ledlunar]

Yeah Ricky Gervais could never play Bane.

"are you havin a laugh?"

 

[KalMart]

Bardem really isn't that big/tall...around 5' 10", even though he's 'listed' as 6'. Then again, neither is Bale for that matter, but still...like the suggestions of Hardy, you'd have to help sell the size cinematically/effects-wise if you want him to tower over most others.

 

[ALP]

Bardem is a twig compared to how large Bane should be. The character takes up body building for years while in prison and uses venom too.

 

[sabetoonth]

he is only 5'10''? well, acting wise I think he could do it, and they could work the camera tricks to make him bigger and all that,and he can put on muscle

 

[LightningFlash]

Riddler and Black Mask.

And Deadshot as an extra villain

 

[ALP]

...a thespian is not necessary for Bane either. He wears a mask that covers his entire face 90% of the time. Bardem cannot get to bodybuilder size, nor would he for a role that keeps his face covered and would more than likely be a supporting role. Really, there are only two things necessary for an actor playing Bane. 1) The right physique, 2) A good voice. Of course I am speaking feasibly while I assume most of you are just talking about fanboy wishes so by all means, continue on.

 

[KalMart]

I really liked the TAS version of Bane in the later version of the series, especially in the episode 'Over the Edge'. But that's still very much in the vein of comics/animation. And the Nolan stories are really better suited to villains who are primarily leaders and masterminds....not that Bane isn't a cold and calculating character himself, but his appeal/threat still seems more as muscle....with the whole wrestler/mask/steroid tube getup not quite right for this style of movie/story. Maybe if they adapted him along the lines of Ducard/Al Gul in BB....like a militia-leader of sorts trafficking physical-enhancement drugs through the crime underworld and such, but still being a really imposing murderous figure...but then not dressed up in wrestling tights and a mask...would it still be Bane?

I dunno....maybe as a supporting figure in the big scheme of things, like Crane/Scarecrow in BB, but more of a physical challenge to Batman. But then, that screentime/plot space may still be better used for a more appropriate main villain. That said...I'd probably go with Kevin Durand or Randy Couture as Bane.

Seems like if you take away his mask, tubes, and what have you it becomes a Ra's in BB rip-off.

I liked Bane because he met Batman equally on all terms--a skilled tactician and powerful enough to physically break his back. Bane as one or the other doesn't do it for me, and so far he's been pretty well maligned in all media outside the comics, even AA. He might only have one story about him worth telling, but it's a good one and push comes to shove, would rather see a DTV of Knightfall than another ball-less Bane on the big screen.

I assume you have never read Knightfall

Bane was created specifically as a cold, calculating, mastermind who worked behind the scenes and created an entire villain revolt in Gotham City. Bane was fully a leader to the highest caliber. His appeal and threat was how he mentally destroyed Batman before physically destroying him.

 

[KalMart]

I did not, and again, I say the stuff about Bane pretty tentatively because I know there's more room in there than just having him be a goon.

Bane was created specifically as a cold, calculating, mastermind who worked behind the scenes and created an entire villain revolt in Gotham City.

But then you could do that with other characters that don't also have to wear a wrestling outfit and mask, tubes running down his body, etc.. I just think he's better suited to a movie that's more stylistically conducive to him and Mr. Freeze, for example.

Seems like if you take away his mask, tubes, and what have you it becomes a Ra's in BB rip-off.

That's what I mean, in that you could end up adapting him too much away from what makes the character what he originally is. I think I'd rather see Bane in a Batman version done (well, hopefully) by Del Toro or Zack Snyder or the like, than in Nolan's, so that you can really push the fantastical/comic-like qualities more, rather than subdue or adapt them too much. I like him being a big, monstrous bruiser as well as a tactician....just like I also like Croc being very reptilian, for example.

 

[ALP]

I definitely recommend the Knightfall trilogy. Bane is one of the greatest mental threats Batman has ever faced(and physical of course). The problem is that after that writers couldn't really think of what else to do with him.
