Well, who should they be?? 


A lot of people are talking about Phillip Seymour Hoffman being penguin. Penguin is a character that can TOTALLY be made in Nolans Batman universe. He could be dealt with much like how they dealt with Two Face. 

Personally I'd like to see them do a take on Bane, many of you may only know him from the crap broadway musical goofy lookin Joel Shoemaker Batmans, but in comics he is actually a very good character and not super stupid but rather a criminal mastermind with crazy genetic enhancements called venom, and of course he is well known for breaking batman's back. 
They covered Killer Croc in the little anime collection they just released on Blu-Ray so i think its safe to say we'll never see him on film. 
I think The Riddler is totally concievable in Nolans universe. Even though I actually liked Jim Carrey and Shoemakers take on the Riddler, i felt it was too joker like and really lost what it was all about. I think in the next film the Riddler could easily do what the Joker did in The Dark Knight, just basically causing trouble and screwing things up while never being the main focus of the entire film. 
I'd also like to see azrael implented somewhere and possibly Robin, not so much Robin, but it would be cool to check out Nightwing. 



So who would you like to see? I could go on and on about it so ill let you guys discuss. its actually quite interesting considering how amazingly well Nolan is handling Batman and his villains so far.

I do not want to see Robin at all. And it would be silly to just add him in, in the third movie.
Not to sure about the villians, but Penguin might be cool.

Doesn't the Batman universe have more villains than Penguin, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Catwoman?

How about Clayface?

A lot of the rumors are swirling around the possibility of the Riddler, but I feel ol' Edward Nigma functions on a lot of the same mechanics as the Joker.  Sure, he's a different villain, not as psychotic, not as hands-on, but he toys with Batman in a similar manner. 

I'm hoping for a Bane-Azrael arc.  I don't think it will happen; neither of the Nolan films have followed one particular story, rather they've been amalgamations of several similarly-toned stories.  Despite that, however, I think the Azrael arc could function as Batman's redemption piece quite well, though I don't know how strong the movie would be without Bale as the centerpoint (because neither Bane nor Azrael is as compelling a villain as the Joker).

I would be very interested in seeing a new Riddler, and we all know Two-Face didn't really die at the end of Dark Knight.

The problem is that Heath Ledger's Joker set the bar so high, I don't think anyone will be able to reach his caliber.

UGH.no ROBIN please~

robin always ruins a batman movie.

i'd like to see the riddler and penguin.

one thing i hate the most abt the dark knight is that they killed off

SPOILER!!!
DO NOT Read!

killed off two face way too early.

/end spoiler

i expected to see two face in the next one but i guess not.

and did anyone felt scarecrow's escape from the first movie was pointless???
he appeared for like 10 mins only.

I don't see why so many people are against Robin. Is it because of the 60's TV series? Or the 80s -90s Batman films? Either way, I always thought all the characters in all versions were kind of wacky. I believe if Nolan sat down and seriously considered putting Robin in, he could think of a very clever way to do so, and convince everyone to accept it.

Personally though, I think Robin should be held off for a few movies until Nolan's Batman grows older a bit.

I just think it'd be interesting to see them go into his compulsion of adding Riddles, and such.  But I'm not sure.  I'd like to see what they do with a lot of the villains.

I would like to see an adaptation of the Knightfall storyline, with Bane (and later Azrael, or a character like Azrael) as the villain.

Oh yeah, and good Batman villains to add...

I'd say the Riddler and Two-Face. I know they alluded to Harvey's death but he didn't get enough "Face time."

I wish we could see the Joker again, but it wouldn't be right to add him to any major role in the series again. Perhaps they could refer to him...

Harley Quinn would be cool, and pretty much any villain who hasn't ever been featured in a Batman movie. I actually enjoy the lesser famous characters more. (Except for Heath Ledgers unbeatable Joker).

I think Dark Knight goes to show that Two-Face just isn't complex enough to enjoy a movie to himself, or rather another movie to himself.

Once the transition to Two-Face is complete there isn't much left to demonstrate, in the whole scope of things, until Batman confronts and defeats him.  Instead, it is necessary to have Harvey Dent to juxtapose his manic alter-ego.  Think about it.  Without the Joker, The Dark Knight is "The Rise and Fall of Harvey Dent," essentially.

I've heard Bale would leave the project if they added Robin so I don't see that but I would really like to see the Riddler.

I don't see how they could do Clayface. I want to see Riddler. They also could do FireFly, but in a supporting villians role as apposed to main villian. Also, I think they could fit Hush into Nolan's world nicely.

I've heard this brought up before, with Hoffman's name attached. I couldn't agree more that this would be a fantastic presentation. However, the penguin may not be quite serious enough for the Nolan canon, but I guess anything's possible.

I would love to see The Riddler in the third one, as he's always been among my favorites. Someone mentioned David Tennant in the role, and I can honestly say I would be more than satisfied with that choice.

Bane deserves a decent remake after that terrible incredible hulk persona they gave him in Batman and Robin
He'd be easy to bring into the Nolan-Batman universe.
However I would love to see a remake of Clayface too as long as they make him deceive more and turn into a Japanese monster movie villian less

If they managed to bring the Joker back, Daniel Day-Lewis anyone? Mr. Freeze, minus any sort of Arnold influence, is a cool character. Not sure how it would fit with the Nolan universe though. Whatever it is, it has big shoes to fill.

Well there will be no Robin, that's a certain, because a Robin= no bale=no good. Nolan said he wants to add a villain we have yet to see in a Batman film. Im not to great with all the villains so Im not sure who he would pick. IGN had an interesting article about this, they suggested it be Batman vs, The Cops, and they hire The Riddler to come in and try to hunt down Batman,

jim carrey could do riddler again, only this time not so flambouyant and joker-like. 

he was supposed to be super smart and nerdy i suppose, not the hippity hoppity joker wannabe. even though i liked jim carrey as riddler. 

i think Penquin is definitely going to happen though, it fits so well with the whole "the wire" type of city gov and police department aproach they are taking. just no three fingers and raised by birds backstory please lol phillip seymour hoffman is the man for that job though no doubt. 

clayface would be ridiculous unless they came up with a new unique way to do it which i doubt. killer croc is out of the question they covered it in the batman gotham knight. 

i would love to see bane

i like how scarecrow will probably make continuing appearances for comic relief, he's just a pathetic loony now its kinda funny. 

i really want to see Mr. Freeze, now that im thinking about it, Nolan could totally make this work.

I think Two-Face will return(his death is not "confirmed" so we know what that means in movies), he's one of Batman's main villans besides Joker, and i dont think we'll ever see a return of him.

But after Two-Face i would love to see Scarecrow(just make him a little better then "Dude with a sack on his head"), Penguin, Mr. Freeze, or Riddler...basically i would love to see a Rehash of anyone that got F'd in the past movies, although i did kinda like Devito as penguin.

Bane would be cool, but i am really hyped hoping for more Two-Face...he's one of my favorite villans.  But Scarecrow would be awesome to, and that would allow Nolan to keep the "psychologial" vibe he has going with this movie.

why is that? he could be dealt with just like harvey dent was. make him seem ordinary but definitely have a huge role in the film and have him try to get into office so that he can destroy the justice system there from the inside out. i can totally see nolan getting this right. 
penguin and riddler in the same film is a great idea. but if nolan wants someone we've never seen as a villain he can always throw in a character that aint so important like Scarecrow was

they had a funeral for him. im pretty sure he is dead. and i liked it that way. nolan makes one movie at a time. you guys are way to fixated on trilogies with continuation. theres no need for two-face to go on, the guy had such a tragic storyline it would be stupid and silly to see him go on a mindless rampage on the city. and then everyone would hate the city government for covering up his death and his crimes and to blame it on batman
