The guy was the first to truly beat Batman because he figured out that, individually, the rogues were no problem for Batman to beat, so he released them all at the same time. The guy knows how to mentally play with people, is all I'm saying. So yeah, Bane would be awesome.

I really hope it's Bane as well....if only for the sole purpose of destroying the abomination that Batman & Robin created.....never had I ever been so dissappointed at a movie adaptation as that.........and they turned him into a big dumb zombie ape that just mumbled "bane.."
I vote "BANE!!!!"

The recent Batman villian Hush could be interesting.

However, they need a villian that is convincing; one that is real enough and does not come off as whackjob looney with no attachment to reality.

Of course I don't know if they really top the Joker and Al'Ghul; two of Batman's most real and dangerous opponents already depicted.

why not the riddler the riddler is awesome what is actually better than fake bombs full of jello attached to a bridge but if not him it should be bat mite ,bane(the smarter one though the dumb one i could beat off with a spoon ),the red queen and Alice(and the rest) or the silent killer drink.

Penguin could be good if done as a true organized crime type villain. We haven't really had that.

Frankly they should have stopped at Dark Knight. Why insult the greatness of that work with lesser films?

Alternatively, are there any vigilantes in the Batman repertoire? It would be interesting to have Batman having gone off the edge, and being pursued by others that view him as the villain.

If your setting yourself up as the next Batman villian, I don't think Frazzled the Wonder Weiner fits the bill.

YES! Batman's newest, most diabolical foe. An unstoppable tide of evil!


Led by their evil arch mastermind and his moronic cohort

Bane please, he would do well in that he really has done some terrible things to Batman.

Mark this date in your calendar - I (mostly) agree with Frazzled.


I know, I know... I took it pretty hard too, but there it is.

The only thing I disagree with is stopping at Dark Knight. I want more!

This.

With all the Crimelords reeling from Jokers power grab, the underworld seems ripe for someone to come and grab the reins. Have the Penguin come in as a Kingpin kind of character, who's "legitimate" as a buisiness owner, but is also controlling the organized crime. Like an evil version of Bruce Wayne.

Catwoman can be involved as a 'rogue' element that's playing both sides of the fence, "Fistfull of Dollars" style. Throw in some tension between her and Batman, as they both understand the lure of living behind the mask, and bam, you've got a movie.


The ownly downside to that is that it's pretty much Batman: Returns...just hopefully not as sucky.

My vote is for.....

Arm Fall off Boy!


With Matter Eater Lad as my second choice.


GG

Poison Ivy...

Yes.

I heard the new villain is might be Particle Man. Or they could go with Triangle Man. But, there's also Universe Man and Person Man. No matter what though, when they fight, Triangle always wins. So I'd say it will most likely be Triangle Man.

I'm kind of glad The Riddler isn't the main villain, mainly because of my desire to see David Tennant play the role someday.

Bane would be cool. Poison Ivy I never really liked, but it might be okay. Penguin... it just depends on how they approached it.

Also Christina Hendricks = yes.

Hmm, Riddler cast as a private investigator committing crimes to trap Batman seemed to make the most sense, but I guess not.

The Penguin doesn't make much sense, once you strip out all the fantastical stuff he's just a gang lord, and halfway through the first movie they were being dispatched in a subplot - Batman's beyond fighting a crime boss at this point. Bane is just a non-entity, basically defined as being smart and fighty, but what's the actual theme to the guy?

I'm thinking maybe Harley Quinn, as a follower of the Joker, but probably not...

I'd like them to create a new antagonist not from the mythos. My pitch would be a really straight and narrow cop who is out to arrest batman and who si really good at his job- maybe an FBI agent or something? He'd be the major antagonist and point of philosophical debate. Then I'd go for some minor villains for batman to deal with- maybe a nasty serial killer (Zsaz stands out here as a choice and he's already been mentioned) or crime boss (black mask, perhaps?) I think they shouldn't feel limited to the rogues gallery if it's not going to work well on screen.

Bane's theme is that he is essentially a dark mirror of Batman, equally as formidable in terms of what he can achieve, but instead of protecting the innocent he kills them on a whim. Seemed like a good idea to me.

This film trilogy will never fulfill its potential without including Talia al Ghul.

100% agreed Manchu.
I actualy think that "The Son of The Demon" Graphic novel would make for an excelent "frame work" for a Nolan film.

There's some great stuff in there but I think it's still too zany (i.e., the kind of Batman I prefer) for Nolan's film.

In a Nolan film, Talia ought to be introduced as the new Ra's. With Dent and the secret ID out of the way, we need some new wrench to throw into the Bruce/Rachel relationship. Also, Maggie Gyllenhal ain't as kind on the eyes as a big picture main squeeze needs to be. Some suitable vixen as Talia qua Ra's would add some beauty, class, danger, and headgames--everything even a "realistic" batfilm requires.

I just don't want to see Liam Neeson returning, barring a cameo in flashbacks.

You know, it is a huge pity Nolan isn't using the Riddler - it would have been a great opportunity to fix the damage done to the character by Jim Carrey's performance.
Sigh... a man can dream, though...

I think the Penguin has already been ruled out.

Hmm, you know who they should add? Robin
(j/k)

I'll never tire of pointing out the good points of that Batman&Robin film, if you get my point.



Point taken?

Yep.

Point taken

I don't know if its been mentioned but Christopher Nolan has said that he felt Penguin was TOO unrealistic for his batman, so I'm ruling that one out too.

I have to agree with that, Hollywood is already full of enough thin ladies playing the roles as the eye candy in the movie I think Christina Hendrix more voluptuous form would make for a type of eye candy that is more unique. Plus who doesn't

like big bosoms.

Not a big Batman fan (I prefer Marvel) but I really hope they do Catwoman. Isn't she the character who tries to bring out his darker, carefree side and the two have a love/hate relationship? Or am I confusing her with Spidermans Black Cat?
