Next Batman Villian??

I could see the next two villains being the black mask and the riddler. The black mask has the ability to rally criminals together. I could see someone like the Black Mask being the integral figure that turns Gotham into an essential no man's land with an over abundance of organized crime. I would really like to see Batman do some detective work in the Batman movie, instead of creating some super gadget that conveniently shows him where everyone in the city is located. HAving the Riddler as a villain would give the movie an outlet to focus on Batman's investigative prowess. Maybe, during the first half of the movie, Batman believes the Black mask is really the Riddler, but then finds out different and realizes that he has two master criminals on his hands.

D) Hasn't he appeared in a load of Teen Titans stuff???

true

I may of already said this before, but I think what we need is somebody who actually CAN overthrow the performance of TDK.

We need realistic villains that can make for one hell of an awesome ending to this franchize, so in other words, NO RIDDLER, damnit.

He's way too boring.

Deadshot, Bane [needs abit of altering] Black Mask, Reaper, Phantasm, Harley Quinn...

Any pairing of these characters should end things beautifully.

ermm the Riddler is anything but boring.

Riddler sucks, IMO. I bet no one on this board finds him an intimidating villain. What a craptastic villain.

But as much as some people think he's craptastic its him that tests Batman's detective skills.

I would love to see Riddler in the next film.

To make him much more interesting, I would suggest him be more like John Doe from Se7en: a cool, calculating psychopath.

John Doe from Se7en-esque Ridder will be nice, although I'm far from a fan of the Riddler. A shame that the best Batman villains (including the best comic book villain, period) were already exploited in the series.

That being said, though, I believe it would be interesting if Gotham is almost comlpetely in ruins from crime and corruption; Maroni's and Gambol's deaths would both create a massive power vacuum to fill, leading to an inevitable gang war; with Batman an outlaw, he and the police (namely Jim Gordon) cannot work together appropriately, taking away from their efficiency and, in turn, allowing crime to flourish, especially with Harvey Dent's (confirmed) death. Therefore, I feel that the most interesting villain will be the Reaper, a vigilante- like Batman- who actually kills the crooks. Seeing a battle between Batman and the Reaper- well, more of a battle between disagreeing methods- will be very, very interesting. I'm also open to the Scarecrow returning in more than a cameo role- he's my second favorite Bat-villain, and he will no doubt be great to fit in Batman 3.

The Joker should also have a cameo. Just a cameo, not a major role. That'll be awesome.

How does that scenario sound?

Sounds great!

Thanks.

And yeah. I think that with the best Batman villains having already been used, it's best to pit Batman against a vigilante rather than just a typical villain.

And, well, IF Nolan does the right thing, he could create an entirely different identity for the Reaper, making Batman 3 a sort of a mystery. Heh, that'd be pretty cool.

No cameo for the Joker. I don't see that their would be a point and with Ledger dead, just... no thanks.
Reaper would be good though, and more mobsters must be there too. I agree with most of that.

Just saw some of "Batman Forever" again after such a long time of not seeing it, and Jim Carrey was actually a great Riddler. Hell, he even made the character separate from the Joker when it came to attitude. The only big issue was on how he got his stuff, and his costumes were idiotic.

Batman Forever sucked. Major time. Although the Riddler wasn't that horrendous.

You're kidding, right?

He wasn't THAT horrendous in the sense that he wasn't a deplorable pile of shit. He was pretty bad, yeah, but he wasn't -THAT- bad. That being said, though, I'm not a big fan of even comic book Riddler, so meh.
