Next Batman Villian??

Wow now thats a Harley Quinn that actually looks like a female Joker, and quite terrifying to say the least. The original Harley isn't that terrifying visually.

Let's keep Harley FAR away from this series, please...

I would rather go for baddies that haven't been on the screen before.

So would I...

But I DON'T think Harley should be in this series... At all.

She could be good if "creative liberties" are taken with her as other characters have. Thats why I think of making her more like a female Joker would be cool.

Poster if Mad Hatter is in the film.

Another Riddler poster:

Catwoman:

Guy Pearce on Riddler: http://splashpage.mtv.com/2008/09/02/riddle-me-this-guy-pearce-is-down-for-visiting-chris-nolans-gotham/

The Catwoman is nice, but Harley Quinn's poster is S-W-E-E-T.

Still, I don't think she should be in this series- certainly not as a primary anatagonist. I've never really seen Harl as much of a villain; she's more of a comedic (and freakin' loveable) character that often brings the Joker's human side out. No, she's not very intimidating.

However, she COULD work if, say, early in the movie, the Joker would die (sad as it might be, it'll give him a major role to play in the movie); Harley Quinn, a psychologist working in Arkham Asylum who becomes obsessed with the Killer Clown cannot take his death, both destroying her 'work' and her secret obsession. Swearing to take vengeance upon Batman- whom she blames for Mista J's death- Harley Quinn decides to become an image of the Joker, a sort of 'continuation' of him, and works with the primary villain- whoever that might be- to kill the Batman.

I think that might work.

I don't think Joker has to die for that to happen. I think it could be as simple as her working with Joker drives her crazy, and then she decides to become an image of the joker, etc.

I really don't think Harley Quinn will appear, and I certainly don't want her to. She's not a particularly realistic character, and just isn't that threatening a villain. She's just Joker's groupie...
Also, has anyone considered that this (as yet unconfirmed) third Nolan Batman film is getting horribly overhyped? Yes, the Dark Knight was great, but this third film surely won't be out for 2-3 years. However many times people say that they know the Dark Knight can't be matched, they still seem to be so excited for this film that they're ignoring the fact that nothing about this potential sequel is known.
Then again, I don't mind speculation. Hell, I'm as guilty as anyone on here. I just think that all this hype and excitement over a film we know nothing about is, perhaps... premature.

Probably. But although I believe that The Dark Knight cannot be matched, I have come to terms with the existence of a third film; it might be awesome, damnit, although I originally thought (and posted about it) that it should not be made.

Harley Quinn, with a few tweaks, could be made into a friggin' psycho. But honestly, if they wanna bring back a Joker, bring a recast Joker, not a female version of him (which a tweaked up Harl would be).

While I don't necessarily think the Dark Knight cannot be matched (hell, we know nothing about this third film, and TDK was not perfect), I just think people should think realistically about this potential third film.

Agreed. I think Nolan will go for something new again, however. The Dark Knight and Batman Begins certainly differed quite a lot, and I expect a similar difference between the Dark Knight and "Batman 3". I hope to have another unique villain, not a weak Joker replica, and I don't particularly mind who it is, as long as it's a new, fresh character (for the films). I have my preferences, but I don't mind greatly who it is.
I'd love to see Bane or Talia, but I know Nolan could make a great film, whether he uses the Riddler, Catwoman or someone entirely unexpected.

I just saw this. Could work to have Harley Quinn be a female copy-cat of the Joker.

Holy crap, that is incredible!

If Heath was still alive, I would've loved to have seen Harley Quinn appear.

TDK- aside from being slightly too long- was all a Batman movie could possibly be. It simply cannot be improved; it's the ultimate Batman movie.

And I agree with your second point.

Horrible photoshopping.

Agreed. It looks ****ing ridiculous. You can tell that's just Catwoman's costume from a comic, which looks utterly ludicrous with a human face in it...

Harley Quinn picture is BADASS, though.

Yes. I'm a Harley fanboy.

Great fakes, especially of Kate.

i dont think they should recast the joker because i think nolan should honor heath ledger and never replace him.
