Next Batman Villian??

Started by Neo Darkhalen9 pages

Anyway i hope the riddler is the next foe in the Batman franchise, i think he slots in well with Nolan's universe, and even if he was not a full fledged villain he would work well as a Private detective hired by the cops to track down Batman; reveal his secret identity.

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.

I agree with the private detective idea. Mr Shindiggery suggested that a while ago and I thought it was awesome. The character worked so well in that role in Dini's Detective Comics, and I would love to see Nygma portrayed like that in the comics. It would tie in so well with the ending of TDK as well...

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?

Scarface and the Ventriloquist would be great if done just right. "The Batman" had him done perfectly in "A Fistful Of Pelt". Something along those lines.

I liked the batman version of Scarface.

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.

It just seems to me that it would make most sense to put a Batman thread in the Batman forum rather than in the general Comic Book Section.

Erm... gee, thanks for the sweeping generalisation. I go to the Batman forum, which, oddly, is in the comic section anyway, and I read Batman comics. Funny that... 🙄

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.

It'd be cool if he had a slightly larger role in Batman 3, maybe being taken down at the start (a la Scarecrow) after a committing several murders. But I doubt he'd have a major role after clearly being little more than a thug with a knife in Batman Begins...

..........i feel like a crazy person.......is this not the batman comic book forum........thats what it says on my screen

Yes... it's the only Batman forum. And I'm pretty sure you're sane, just mildly pompous. But that's not a crime (I'm no hypocrite, at least I'm not being hypocritical right now).

I can't even remember anymore, but wasn't this originally posted in the "Movie Discussion" forum? Or was it in the "Comic Books" forum?

I want Riddler or Hush. I really like Hush.

I don't want Hush. He's too recent, and bandages would look pretty silly. Not to mention, Bruce never mentioned Tommy Elliott. Also, if Bruce's Dad saved Tommy's mother, then Hush would have been a murderer at the age of... 7? Not likely, methinks.

The Reaper...

Yup, I change my vote.
Reaper for me!

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...
