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

[regwec]

He's pretty good in "Secret Six" nowadays.

 

[ALP]

Cool, I'll be sure to check it out.

 

[Spider-Kurt!]

I believe there was a recent rumor that Eric Roberts will return as Sal Maroni. Hey, Harvey Dent survived the car wreck,why can't Maroni? I wouldn't be surprised or would i oppose the idea or Maroni returning and being the one to clear Batman's name for the sole purpose of dishonoring Dent's if clearing Batman's name is a part of the next movie's agenda.

 

[sabetoonth]

I liked him as Sal, you so wnated to hit the guy even though he had some kind of charm to him, I wouldnt oppsose maroni surviing, though that begs to question

Who are the five people Dent murdered?
Wurtz
Driver,(the)

I'd rather see a new mob boss. We got Falcone, Maroni, I think it's time for Thorne.

 

[Spider-Kurt!]

Down the road and most likely under a different director's tutulage (though I love what Nolan's done with Batman)I think it would be kind of cool to see Ra's Al Ghul and/or Two-Face (preferably played by Liam Neeson and Aaron Eckhart respectively) seemingly return from the grave only to find out they were both actually Clayface who had been hired to play mind games with Batman somewhat like his role in Hush.

 

[Spider-Kurt!]

Today's wish list...


For the next movie,I really want to see a physical threat along the lines of Bane, Lady Shiva,Deadshot,Deathstroke or David Cain as one of the main antagonists.I'm hoping for the best onscreen live action Batman fight scenes yet.

 

[Micah12345]

I'd like to see a villain that's physically a challenge for batman, but I think considering nolan's strengths, it would be better suited for batman 4, and nolan could do better with someone like the riddler.

The fight scenes have been the weakest aspect of any of his films. If he really wants to focus on making that aspect better though, then that's cool with me.

I can agree with all of this.

 

[Matt Mortem]

If the Penguin was used, I would prefer him to be in the film as a mobster informer type who chills in his private underworld nightclub. The Riddler might be nice, but he would seem a little too obvious. I agree with other posters in saying that seeing a villian who would be a physical threat to Batman in the next film

This is pretty much how I've always envisioned the Penguin in this film series.

 

[zeptron]

^Ditto. I don't see how Nolan finds Penguin too unrealistic.

 

[Matt Mortem]

IMO The Penguin would fit best in Nolans universe out of all of Batmans villians. Some fugly fat dude who runs a nightclub for the mob. Whats not to love??

 

[Hobgoblin]

^Ditto. I don't see how Nolan finds Penguin too unrealistic.

Double ditto. Scarecrow is more unrealistic than Penguin and I loved Scarecrow in Batman Begins.

 

[KalMart]

^Ditto. I don't see how Nolan finds Penguin too unrealistic.

Maybe he also finds him uninteresting...at least for their story purposes?

 

[Nightmare]

Whatever Nolan does, I trust.

 

[Matt Mortem]

If Harley were ever in a Bat-film I could see Beth Riesgraf playing her. She's on a TV show called Leverage and I think she could pull it of

 

[RustyCage]

I think people assume too strongly when they call Nolan 'realistic'. He's actually rather lenient. Like, seriously, how likely is it that Batman could catch Joker from falling with the grapple gun like that? Just one of many examples.

Yeah, I think realism is a mislabel.

 

[Gianakin_]

It is. And I don't think he ever intended for us to take the term "realism" literally.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I think The Riddler should be the primary antagonist of the third Batman film, but I don't know if he should be an outright villain. As I've said before, in my opinion Paul Dini's recent reinterpretation of The Riddler as a sleazy private detective - a constant foil for Batman, but not an outright criminal any longer - is the most interesting the character has ever been. I think that portrayal should be carried over to the film.

Think of it like this: Batman is on the run now, a criminal in the eyes of the law. He's like Harrison Ford in The Fugitive. So his enemy needs to be a Tommy Lee Jones. That can be the role The Riddler plays in the film. The Mayor brings in former con man Edward Nigma (real name Eddie Nashton, but he had it legally changed), who earned the nickname of The Riddler due to his propensity for solving unsolvable puzzles. He is given the task of solving the puzzle of Batman's true identity. We can have a great dynamic of him bristling with Commissioner Gordon, as they clash over the best way to pursue Batman.

 

[Gianakin_]

I like this, but would that mean that he wouldn't give the Batman any riddles/puzzles to solve? Or would they be used as traps to lure Batman?

Perhaps Nigma could create The Riddler as a fictional master criminal who leaves clues and puzzles in the wake of a series of staged robberies and high profile crimes. It could be done with Gordon's clearance as a means of drawing out Batman - a series of unsolvable crimes.

Then if you wanted to go outright villain with Nigma, have him start to crack under the pressures of the case and adopt the Riddler persona for real.

 

[Gianakin_]

The thing you should be careful of here is the case itself. What pressures would such a case bring? Also, it sounds a bit like 2Face in that respect.

I, too, thought of the idea of Nashton creating the Riddler persona as part of the investigation, but getting clearance from Gordon is not such a good idea, imo. I expect Gordon to do everything in his power to hinder the hunt on Batman.

The problem could get solved by making Nashton a bit more villainous from the get-go. His descent would then be easier.

Oh, no doubt Nigma should be utterly repugnant, even when not breaking the law. Have you ever seen The Frighteners? Jeffrey Combs character in that, FBI agent Milton Dammers, could be a really good template for how to portray The Riddler, albeit perhaps not quite so comedically grotesque.
