What un-used Batman villain should be in the new film(s)?

[NateHevens]

Meh Sub-Zero counts, hehe.

I was thinking live-action. I know he's been used in the animated films.

 

[Victarion]

God that's stupid.


I WANT IT!

You should read up on Robert Johnson.

Said it before, saying it again: I like Poison Ivy as a drug-dealer that uses plant creatures as her heavies. Easily controlled brute force brimming with toxin-dripping thorns and the ability to regenerate. Sounds like a winner.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Yes, I feel Ivy and Freeze deserve redemption. Not in the same movie (coz it's stupid). Both provide really great spectacle, Ivy can be teamed up with Margot from Suicide Squad.

My imagination goes wild when I'm thinking what can be done with modern technology and CGI, when it comes to Freeze.

Also, what do you guys think about the Court of Owls and Bruce's adopted brother storyline?

I agree about Freeze and Ivy.

As for Bruce's adopted brother from "Court of Owls", I say no. He's pretty much a rip-off of Hush, who was also not original Batman villain himself. and I'm not fond of that "I am your father" shtick.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Alright, outside the adopted brother, what are the chances they may utilize Court of Owls in a solo Batman movie (trilogy)? There's just too much awesomeness about it.

Outside of the disappointing finale it's certainly an interesting story and I guess they could end up doing it, seeing how they also taken elements from New 52. Though the primary appeal of the story is that it changes for decades established occurrences regarding Thomas and Martha Wayne, so I'm not sure how they'd tackle it... I can easily see them preferring to stay on the classic approach of Thomas and Martha's killing by Joe Chill being random, as well.

So, yeah... I didn't really give a proper answer to your question... I can see them adapting it, but the story requires of them to shake things up a bit, so it depends whether they're willing to do so or not.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Yeah, maybe they will leave it for much later, letting the myth of the court grow a bit, also establish Batfamily - Nightwing, Oracle/Batgirl and other occasional allies like Catwoman.

But I feel they're going with Red Hood, since death of Robin is heavily mentioned in promo materials for BvS. Looks like it affects Batman's methods and motives. Personally, not a big fan of the idea, but whatever.

No, they were still killed by Joe Chill, it's just that a young Bruce Wayne assumed the Court was tied to it.

Yeah, it seems like natural direction for them to go. I am not crazy about the Red Hood either. Never liked Jason Todd, neither as a Robin nor a Red Hood... Keep the bastard dead.

Wasn't it though? From what I recall, it was eluded that Court was behind it indeed.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

What about Dr. Hurt? That is a character who would be stripped of all that made him great if this was yet again an young Batman. But Ben's Batman seems to have assumed almost all of his comic book history. He would be a great 'Ultimate' villain. If there is a Batfleck trilogy, they can slowly build him up as the final villain.

 

[The Overlord]

People seem to bring up Clayface and I do wonder what Clayface brings to the table that would justify the expensive CGI needed to put him on screen?

 

[DieSmiling]

I'd love to see Joker and Red Hood, do the Jason Todd storyline. Then maybe throw in Black Mask.

In the right circumstances they could do Clayface, but that's not the direction I'd go for the first Batfleck solo movie.

Hugo Stange could be cool too.

 

[Decepticonus]

No, he never found any evidence of it.

 

[NateHevens]

More seriously this time... I joked about Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze before, but I also think they need to be redeemed, and if Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn from the trailers (CC one and the first major one) is any indication, I think a Poison Ivy in this universe could be done incredibly well.

So I want her in a Batman film, or at least a future team up film.

As for an unused villain... I think I'm going to have to go with Black Mask and/or Hugo Strange... and/or maybe the Mad Hatter. Would any of the other villains actually justify a whole movie?

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I'd love to see Poison Ivy, Riddler, Penguin, and Mr. Freeze properly done (and please for the love of God do not tattoo them up).

But as far as a new, unused villain: Black Mask, The Ventriloquist and Scarface, Firefly or Dr. Hugo Strange I feel could all work in a Batfleck movie. They're all grounded, down to Earth characters that all could be realistically done. Sure, I'd love to see Two-Face and Bane again down the road, but there are plenty of villains we haven't seen that could warrant cameos or a full top villain.

To me, these new Batman films should have a gritty, realistic element to it like "The Town" but go for and not be afraid to embrace the fantastical too. I like Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy but we've been there and seen that. I want something that is the best of both worlds: comic book-accurate but still grounded in what feels like a real world setting and environment.

 

[KillerWolf]

No, he never found any evidence of it.

I remember it wrongly then.

 

[Victarion]

I want a cyberpunk Riddler.

 

[Omegabat]

Prometheus in a Batman film would be awesome.

 

[charlesmwatts]

I would like Ivy as the secondary with Joker and Harley as the main.
Christina Hendricks to play Ivy and some lesbonics between her and Margot would explode my fragile little mind.

 

[RustyCage]

I think the best immediate fits for this version of Batman are: Red Hood, Hush, Court of Owls.

Black Mask could be strung throughout as the main mob character, and maybe we could have a Deadshot appearance or two.

There are a number of others I'd love to see adapted, but this doesn't feel like the right kind of Batman for it (so far). Here's hoping for more mystery and detective stuff...

 

[Ceb-Man]

I would love to see Black Mask (loved Black Mask since his introduction in 1985), I would also love to see Mad Hatter, Man-Bat, Hugo Strange, Clayface, Court of Owls, and Hush.

 

[Decepticonus]

What about his greatest threat?

 

[Mandon Knight]

Court of Owls would work well, (beyond the extention of the bat family not being on the table yet) as they are clearly introducing the family heritage with on set pics from B v S, so the element of the family tree is there to bridge out from.

 

[Corysxj88]

I would love to see Clayface and Hugo Strange. I would also love to see an up-to-date Riddler.

However I think we will def see Red Hood and Killer Croc soon.

But my all time favorite villain is The Joker...so I hope he is around for a long time!

 

[regwec]

Ventriloquist is one of the best villains of the Breyfogle era, and one of the best villains invented after the 1940s. He easily gets my vote.
