The Riddler would make a good villain, but I don't want him to learn that Bruce Wayne and Batman are one and the same.

Well.....to answer the two questions thrown at me......1: I posted this here instead of the batman thread, b/c, unlike general batman fans, comic book readers usually are much smarter and know much more about the actual story behind the different batman universes (ie, the dark knight vs. the happy-go-lucky crime fighter)
2: I was referencing Dr. Hugo Strange, not the marvel character.
anywho, i agree with the lot of you that the riddler would be a great bad guy. Jim Carrey was great, but he really wasn't playing a character, just acting like himself (as someone mentioned a few posts back).

That doesn't make sense. You posted this in another forum because they would be "much smarter and know much more about the actual story behind the different batman universes" than the people in the Batman forum?
myth, am i wrong in saying this is the batman comic book forum? am i also wrong in saying that most of the people in the general batman forum have most of their knowledge from the movies, and maybe a couple of books? I came here because I figured that anyone who was looking at this forum, in the comic book section, would have read more batman comics then the common person, and therefore be more knowledgable about villians and the like.
Everyone knows about the riddler and penguin and catwoman. only people who had read deeper into batman would know The Ventriloquist or Hugo Strange. Shoot, if you had asked the typical, generic batman fan who Raz Algul was, before Batman Begins came out, i'm sure not many would know.

Personally, I think that Zsasz would make an interesting enemy for the movies. I mean, I understand that he had a cameo in Batman Begins, but I think it'd be cool if they actually brought him into a larger role.

I want Riddler or Hush. I really like Hush.
I just re-read Year Two and Full Circle actually, and I thought the story had some real flaws, the Reaper was incredibly awesome. Maybe a bit of explanation or adaptation would be required as it may seem somewhat "unrealistic" for an OAP to be kicking the crap out of Batman...
Also, I think that maybe it should be made clear that the Reaper was even more of an urban legend than Batman. I think it would lessen Batman's impact of another very well-known vigilante had existed...
