Riddler Next Villian [Official Riddler Batman3 Thread]

Sorry if this comes across as lazy but I don't feel like watching the vid...what is it of?

Riddler would build off of Batman's detective skills, we have not seen that much yet in a Batman film, i think Riddler is the best choice for the next villain in a Batman film.

I'd mainly like to see Bane because the guy is so smart and in the comics figured out Batman's identity without any type of snooping or the like. If not Bane, bring on the Riddler and have the Scarecrow in as a bigger villain with a better costume and have him use Croc as his muscle.

Of course. I have already stated that I have total faith in Nolan, on several occasions. However, I still believe that there should be an enemy to provide a real physical threat to Batman, in addition to a genius, 'psychological' villain.

I've always been interested to see him in a Batman film.

He wouldn't work in this franchise, unless they took a cue from the old comics and had him use make-up to disguise himself rather than him being able to shapeshift, which would be kind of boring in my opinion.

Hmm, I can't imagine it working too well. Don't want Batman 3 to be Spider - Man 3

Exactly...we need them to introduce villains on the scale of Two-Face & the Joker.

I still think that the Scarecrow is ready to have a bigger role before this franchise is finished.

I posted this a couple of minutes ago in the 'Baaaane' thread. My thoughts on a physically threatening villain:
There are plenty of physically threatening villains that aren't Bane, you know. While characters like Killer Croc (who's a Lizard copy anyway) and Clayface (who would probably seem like a rather pathetic imitation of Sandman, to be honest) would both be unrealistic and fail miserably, you could use characters like Deadshot (yes, I know he was in Gotham Knight, but that means nothing), Amygdala (now there's a character who could be a mindless thug- maybe liberated by the Riddler from Arkham), or the Reaper (who is, of course, a rival vigilante, who kills). I could see any of those three or many others working very well in Nolan's 'universe'.
And, Strangelove, don't double post!

I'd like Cain, Shiva or Deathstroke more, personally. Bane's my number one choice though.

Yeah, don't worry about it too much, AB, shit happens. Back to Riddler.

We won't see him in a Nolan film.

EDIT: Actually, I'm inclined to agree with Bardock. Shiva, Cain and Deathstroke would probably be superior to my three suggestions, though my preference, come to think of it, would be Talia al Ghul.

Talia would be a very good choice.

Maybe the Riddler could make a cameo though.
