Sounds nice, I really would love to see Azrael in Nolanverse. He could make it work.

I suppose the costume would need to be changed a little, but it's fairly functional armour, used both for theatrics and for practical use, so it isn't too bad. I reckon he could work very well. Not sure if they could have Azrael using the blades in his gauntlets a great deal, as they're pretty vicious for a 12A/ PG13 film.

Sure they did, but they didn't show him actually in the process of face-cutting. With Azrael, you'd expect him to use ridiculously sharp, fiery blades whenever he's in combat. They can't subtly shoot every fight scene to make sure no one glimpses people getting hacked to pieces, can they?

They could modify him, or tone him down to a certain extent.
By the way, what do you think of having Lady Shiva as a villain? She's pretty cool, and could easily fit into a realistic environment.

Lady Shiva would be pretty cool. She could be both a fairly minor villain or in fact a major villain in a film, considering the fact that she has ties with the League of Shadows. I doubt she'll appear in the films, sadly, and I would rather have Talia al Ghul appearing, and they surely wouldn't have both.

Talia works, too. Or Catwoman. Both, as love interests, are far, far, far, far, far superior to Rachel Dawes.
Still, they shouldn't go overboard with the number of characters. Batman alone worked fine until now, so maybe he doesn't need a sidekick/love interest or w/e.

While Catwoman could be very cool, I have a feeling that Nolan's already said that she won't be appearing, and I actually think that Talia would be my favourite potential villain for the next film. She'd fit in really well, following on from Ra's. The story could come full circle very nicely, and maybe she would ultimately realise Batman's the hero and help him defeat a main villain at the end.

Talia would be an interesting villain. Her and Batman always have had a love/hate relationship. It could work.

To be fair, Tut isn't particularly realistic. I thought your idea wasn't bad, but I'm still not sure it could work in Nolan's Batman "universe". What equipment would a bad guy need from the fearsome "Museum Man"? Why would he be so f*cked up?
He just doesn't fit in with the Nolan series. Sorry. 🙁
He does, actually.
He believes that new weapons merely corrupt(which is why he uses old school tools), and his craziness is for his confusion and anger over his own theory of reincarnation.
If a guy with a messed up face with no eyelids on one side still has two working eyes, then Tut could work.

Perhaps he could. I doubt many people would have expected that the whole Batman "universe" could be handled so realistically before Begins, so perhaps people (and "people" certainly includes me) are too hasty in writing off certain characters as "unrealistic".
I don't know if you guys saw this yet or not, but its interesting. Both characters and actors have been mentioned before, but this time it comes from Michael Caine. I'm cool with Hoffman as Penguin, but I'm not quite sold on Depp as Riddler. My fear is that Depp's Riddler will be too similar to previous Depp characters. I loved how Heath didn't seem like Heath. I fear that Depp will seem like Depp.

Which is why if the rumor is true that WB wants to interfere, then they are making a gross mistake. Let Chris Nolan make a good movie. There is no way he can top The Dark Knight so he shouldn't even try. Chris Nolan should just make a good movie.
