Who Is Batman's Next Foe?

As the Internet rumor mill heats up about a possible foe for the next Batman film, writer David S. Goyer (who got a story credit for The Dark Knight) told SCI FI Wire that it's possible the villain may not even be one you've ever heard of.

"There's no reason why we necessarily have to use the same three or four that are still around," Goyer said in an interview at Comic-Con International in San Diego last month. "I mean, Batman's got a wide variety, [a] rogues' gallery. Certainly we used two in the first movie that hadn't been in the films before."

Goyer, who wrote the script for Batman Begins with director Christopher Nolan, was referring to Ra's al Ghul (Ken Watanabe and Liam Neeson) and Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy).

The Dark Knight, written by Nolan and his brother, Jonathan Nolan, features Batman's most famous enemy, the Joker (played memorably by the late Heath Ledger), and a second well-known nemesis, Harvey Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart).

And Goyer's comments come as Web sites speculate on which well-known villain (The Riddler? The Penguin? Catwoman?) and which actor (Johnny Depp? Philip Seymour Hoffman? Angelina Jolie?) would play him/her in an inevitable third film in the most recent incarnation of the Batman saga.

But there are plenty of others: Villains that Batman has faced in the DC Comics alone include such familiar and obscure names as Anarky, Bane, Batzarro, Black Mask, Blockbuster, Calendar Man, Catman, Clayface, Cluemaster, Deadshot, Firefly, Hush, Killer Croc, Killer Moth, the Mad Hatter, Man-Bat, Maxie Zeus, Mr. Freeze, Mr. Zsasz, Poison Ivy, Hugo Strange, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Ventriloquist and Scarface, according to Wikipedia.

No decision has been made yet on whether to move forward with a third Batman movie, though it's likely one will come together eventually. "It's really up to Chris to decide, and he has not decided whether or not he wants to go back to the well again," Goyer said. "And if he does, I, you know, would be honored to work with him." --Patrick Lee, News Editor

wow that changes a lot of the rumors that have been going around the net since Dark Knight came out.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Poison Ivy would be a good choice as the secondary villain. And the main baddie should be either Riddler, Catwoman, or Hush.

[André]

After having to look at Maggie's ugly face

Grow up.

[sabin26]

I absolutely don't want Angelina Jolie in these movies. I think she is overhyped and doesn't really work for me as any of the characters, it would be like putting Clooney in as Batman.

[MasterChief117]

Completely agree with you there, I think she would draw too much attention to the character and that would just be pointless.
I would love to see Hush, Calendar Man or even Mr. Zsasz as the villains. I mean they are all somewhat realistic and they don't have any ridiculosis superpower.

[Diablo]

Well, that's if you believed in them. ;) I knew it was too early for anything to have happened.


I'd love to see Black Mask though.

[Knerys]

Just not seeing Jolie as catwoman.....sorry. :/

[DragnFire22]

Grow up.

you come up with that one all by yourself? :rolleyes:

[Escape]

Also I don't find Angelina Jolie attractive, she looks good in some movies but overall no.

Ditto!

And she's done enough movies flipping and flopping around Matrix style so I would hate to see her in yet another one.

[Boiiinng]

Dude, if you think Maggie is how human women look then you need to go out more. And Maggie definitely isn't a super model. Just some ugly girl. If you want cute plain girl but human see Renee O Connor or Scarlett Johansson.

Wow, and you called me racist. :rolleyes:

[DragnFire22]

How is that a race issue...?

[Boiiinng]

How is that a race issue...?

He said she wasn't human looking.

[André]

you come up with that one all by yourself? :rolleyes:

Aww, so cute, you're holding a grudge.

[The Walrus]

He said she wasn't human looking.

I think that's more of a misanthropic comment than a racist one.

I agree with all the comments about Jolie upstaging the whole thing, by the way.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Grow up.

You first ;) .

[Fighting American]

Actually I find Scarlott to be plain, cute, and real. Katie Holmes is just plain. Maggie is in the dog ugly category for me.

Katie looks like Angelina Jolie compared to Maggie!!:meanie:

[King_of_Skid_Row]

A lot of women look like Angelina compared to Maggie.

[Justin]

Does it matter?

[sshuttari]

As far as I'm concerned Nolan has already stated he doesn't want to do Catwoman, and Robin.

So in the end... this is a dumb statment.

People wanted Venom for Spider-man 3 so badly and Raimi didn't want to do it. Look how awful that turned out.

Nolan will do whatever he thinks is right and it's not going to be catwoman as much as people want.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

How about Poison Ivy and Hush?

[petergriffin246]

I say Riddler

[drob127]

How about Poison Ivy and Hush?

poison ivy is a dumb character, but i do like hush

[JT3294]

Wow lol, some serious Maggie Hatin' going on here. She isn't THAT ugly. AND just to set the record straight... she is a very REAL girl (Scarlet Johansson, although hot, is TOTALLY NOT "real". She does make up ads for God's sake. Find a picture without her make up then say that.)

2nd- Depp as the Riddler I'd give a limb to see. I think the Riddler is a completely viable nemesis to bring into the new realistic Batman series. And Depp seems to me to be the perfect man... Can play a charming alter ego for the Riddler and a crazy persona for the Riddler.

3rd- Catwoman... no. Angelina no. Biel no. Maggie obviously not, that was a bonehead statement for that journalist to make. Just flat out... no. It's inconceivable that any woman is going to put up a fight against Christian Bale's Batman. This Batman is about technology and not about superpowers... Catwoman's athleticism and strengths are based on comic book fantasy, not reality.

4th- Poison Ivy was an epic fail not just because of the movie... but who's gonna take her seriously? Just don't kiss the chick, you're safe. And in this new Batman storyline (again realism) controlling plants ain't gonna mesh.

Now... this is just me... I'd like to see Riddler. People get too antsy about seeing numerous bad guys. Look what happened in Spiderman 3. Too many subplots. Just one villian and that's it.

And before it comes out, The Dark Knight didn't have 2 villians. Two Face wasn't a mastermind... he was a pawn and a very short term pawn at that. I love the short fight against Scarecrow and I think they could pull that off with another baddie. A Prologue kinda.

So for me... psychotic enemies work best and a psychotic Riddler or Mad Hatter or something would be cool. And yes... Black Mask could be a cool appearance or something.

PS: On a side note... IF (hopefully not but IF) the Penguin showed up... I think Phillip Seymour Hoffman is an EXCELLENT choice. Probably the most redeeming factor of Mission Impossible 3 was his bad guy act.

Jolie Turns To Porn Star Pal For Catwoman Tips
12 August 2008 4:58 AM, PDT

Angelina Jolie has been asking for advice on taking the role of Catwoman from an unlikely source - porn star Tera Patrick.

The Lara Croft star is said to be keen to sign up for the part if the Catwoman character is resurrected in a future Batman sequel by Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan.

Jolie has even been tipped for the role by Julie Newmar - who played the original feline villain in the 1960s Batman TV series.

And the sexy star has been discussing her possible portrayal of the character with porn star pal Patrick, who is a huge fan of the role, according to New York gossip column PageSix.

A source tells the publication, "They are friends and keep in touch via e-mail. She and Angie have a girl-talk thing going.

"After seeing reports that she'll land the lead role, Jolie asked Patrick what she thought. Tera had such insights into the role that Jolie cracked, 'You should do it!' "

[DragnFire22]

He said she wasn't human looking.

That has nothing to do with race. Species, yes. But not race.

[Knerys]

What? You have never heard of the Human Race? ;)

So ugly=real. That can't be right. Maggie also wears makeup too so she's even more unreal cause she's ugly with and without makeup.

[Justin]

What will make you people shut up about Maggie? Honestly, it does not matter. Not everyone needs to be a super model to be in a film. Focus on her acting skills (which are barely above par in The Dark Knight), not her appearance.

It just makes you sound unbelievably stupid. It's no wonder that the same guy who quotes Rambo is the same guy who focuses on the appearance of actresses, rather than their acting skills.

[FranklinTard]

not to mention her character died... so i dont understand why shes even being discussed...

[DAN!]

because she can take bale's place as the new batman!

Her acting was average in TDK. It just as average as Katie Holmes. I'm not saying she's a bad actress but her performance wasn't that great. Rachael just wasn't an attractive character to begin with. Yes, I think Katie looks average too.

[Justin]

Did you even read what I just posted, or did you just skim through it?

I just said her acting was average. And for the last time, it is NOT about her appearance.

[DAN!]

maybe he thinks acting and looks are the same thing

[Justin]

I really wouldn't be surprised.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

he probably just wants Maggie to get a reboot

[DAN!]

he uses the term "reboot" for so many things it has lost all meaning

[Justin]

She can join them in the reboot of Star Wars where Vin Diesel plays Luke.

[Jason Krueger]

She can join them in the reboot of Star Wars where Vin Diesel plays Luke.

What the hell? O_o

and Will Ferrel is obie wan and rosie oddenel is darth vader

What the hell? O_o

you have to read the SW thread to get that one.

I'm not sure which possibility is worse...

A: She might actually be considered for a role that shouldn't even be implemented in the first place.

B: She's cocky and arrogant enough to prepare for a role that hasn't even bee implemented yet and, in all likelihood, won't be.


And really... enough on Maggie. Looks aside I thought she was leaps and bounds over Katie Holmes' cardboard Rachael. I mean she was barely in it anyway but the scenes she was were great. There, to me, was not a single weak spot in the acting of that WHOLE movie. (Aside from the extras and bit players, mainly the cops.)

[DAN!]

i think they should use the scarecorw again and throw in another bad guy like the ridler, mad hatter or hush

[JT3294]

Yeah, Scarecrow is pretty solid as a bit baddie... but I think he's been expired as a serious threat. Riddler is a solid bet.

Also I'd be curious to see what Nolan could do with a Robin character. I know he's opposed to it, but I think he could pull it off if he wanted to.

Maybe Robin, instead of being a sidekick, is an unwelcomed nuisance to Batman. Always showing up to "help" but just annoying him. I don't know, but I think Nolan could do it.

[Knerys]

A: She might actually be considered for a role that shouldn't even be implemented in the first place.Amen.

Though don't believe everything you read at this point. The rumor mill is in overdrive.

oH PLEASE.....The interogation scene with the chinese mobster was laughable. Maggie was pretty wooden at times and good in others. Katie was the same......she had some really good scenes. I think it's fashionable to throw Kaite under the bus because of the whole TomKat thing. She's a good actress.

Nolan will do whatever he thinks is right and it's not going to be catwoman as much as people want.

Exactly which is why news articles about her getting the role need to stop. It will only lead to Warner Brothers telling Nolan to throw her in there because they think it would make for a better movie. Have you ever read Kevin Smith's script for Superman? It wasn't bad, but WB was telling him what to put in it and not, like no flying and a gay robot sidekick to Brainiac.

[IanTheCool]

here's the poster without the awful title

WB needs to buy this poster asap

[Boiiinng]

You misspelled "partner".

Oh, come on now, I know you've seen a western.

[Bourne 415 71]

Try not to blast me much but who's hands are those? The Riddlers? lol

It says Riddler on his hands ;)

It may be fake but that is so bada**!! I want one.

wow it does look good

[jbailey84]

thats a pretty bad ass fan made poster!! i likes it :D

[Dhamon22]

Yeah, its really cool.

[drob127]

i def think that if there is a third one that scarecrow will be in it

[jbailey84]

IF scarecrow is in the third, he better have an actual part and not same lame cameo

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Maybe Batman 3 should be based on that Arkyam Asylum graphic novel. Only instead of the Joker as the main baddie you use The Riddler. Plus you can have Two Face in it and we'll see just how far poor Harvey has fallen.

[drob127]

IF scarecrow is in the third, he better have an actual part and not same lame cameo

yea i know. in a way i understand why they did it but they could of done someting where the character doesnt come off as a cameo

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Well he did become a top drug dealer selling to the mob. So he was pretty big target for Batman.

[sshuttari]

Do you guys remember that guy that works for Wayne Enteprises and finds out who Batman is.

He kind of reminded me of the Riddler because he is the only villian who knew the true identity of Batman...

But I doubt it... it's just interesting.

HA! I had that same thought driving into work today. Either it could be him, or the Riddler could kidnap him. At this point, he's already said on the news that he knows who Batman is, so wouldn't somebody at some point try to beat it out of him? This is Gotham for crying out loud!

looks like someone wants to TRY and break the July record. lol, good luck!!

i think there are more harry potter fans but this is going to be a hard record to break

[Two-Face]

Harry Potter sucks.


Anyway, I doubt Reese is Riddler, unless Reese is Edward and using fake name like Ra's did with Ducard but we already seen that in BB.

Shouldn't this be name The Dark Knight Sequel (Batman 3) news and info?

[Comingsoonfan777]

obviously fake but still looks awesome

dude that poster is AWESOME!!!!! though fake probably, the 3rd film could really be good if they used the riddler correctly. JUST DONT PUT THE F***ING PENGUIN IN THERE OMG

That would be the worse villain ever.

anyways, REALLY impressive poster here

[jbailey84]

like i mentioned earlier, the viral marketing for this could be interesting.

[drob127]

the joker stuff was too hard can you imagine riddler stuff? it would be impossible

[jbailey84]

exactly! :D

[drob127]

i dont even think i would want him in the green suit like carrey

[King_of_Skid_Row]

I can picture him wearing Black jeans, black T-shirt, a black coat, a black burgler mask, and on the mask;s forehead portion is a green question mark. Oh and gloves are green.

[drob127]

i hope your joking

[King_of_Skid_Row]

It was just a thought. Clearly it needs to be A LOT better than that. But the Riddler does need a...update if he is used.

Personally I prefer to have Poison Ivy and Hush. Poison Ivy because the character was completely murdered in Batman and Robin.

[drob127]

i'd like hush cuz i would like the fact that hush used to be his friend but ivy is a terrible character. i'd rather have catwoman than her and i hate catwoman

You need to be kicked in the nads until they're useless... you can never procreate.

That was the goofiest Riddler suit ever... and Poison Ivy was murdered in Batman and Robin because she is impossible to translate in anyway other than a campy, comic booky way... Batman and Robin was just bad even at doing a campy, comic booky Batman.

Hush is more of what Scarecrow was in the last movie... he's just not special enough to be the backbone of a film's conflict.

[JT3294]

You mean Mr. Reese....Mr. Reese....MYSTERIES! :eek:


:P

:lol:

That's actually really clever... kudos on the catch.

[drob127]

im still freaking out about that

[JT3294]

it's trippy... who knows... maybe the Dark Knight was the first in the next ones marketing campaign lol

I'm pretty sure it was, "It's alive, it's huge"... but don't quote me lol

[JT3294]

About that poster though... I disagree with the Harvey Dent's death thing. I'm hoping Harvey somehow pulled through (never said he was dead and the producer acknowledged the ambiguity as being intentional) and he makes a reappearance. I think there is much more room for Two Face in this saga.

Only problem... I want the Riddler too, so it's looking like I'm shooting for a Nolan Style "Batman Forever v2.0" lol

When it comes to Batman, the future of the franchise is in Christopher Nolan's hands. That's what a successful reboot with "Batman Begins" and breaking records with "The Dark Knight" will do.

There's a deal for the director to helm a third pic, but he has yet to decide on whether to tackle it yet.

"We have no idea where Chris is going with this," Horn says. "We haven't had any conversations with him about it."

wow, you think they would have called Nolan like the day the first weekend numbers came in.

[jbailey84]

all i can say is im loving these riddler made posters :D hoping the riddler is the next villian.

[Doomsday]

The one with the question mark on the newspaper is too reminiscent of the Joker drawing on the newspapers and pictures. I think they should do what they can to separate the Riddler (who lets be honest will probably be the villain) from the Joker. The Joker had that grundgy, sorta messy look. I think they should take a different approach with Riddler, make him more refined or something instead of just Joker part II.

[petergriffin246]

Yeah I'm also pulling for the Riddler

TOTALLY agree. He needs to be more Bruce Wayne's counterpart than inverse. Intelligent, well spoken and clean lol

[drob127]

I'm pretty sure it was, "It's alive, it's huge"... but don't quote me lol

yea it was "its alive its huge", but when the teaser came out people were saying it said "its a lion its huge"...you dont remember that?

anyway, if the slight chance that two face is back i agree that he could and should be the backbone of the movie

i still think they should throw hush in there as a side.

[JT3294]

My thoughts too, Hush is a complementary bad guy... not a backbone. I think Riddler or Two Face has the cajones to ride the primary villian position. I COULD even see Two Face being primary and Riddler being a bit player. But hopefully not lol... too much potential in BOTH characters to revert either to back up status.

AND... no... lol I didn't hear the "It's a lion" thing lol. Although I am kinda surprised now that I think about it... the people in the area I live are boneheads lol.

[drob127]

google the line and you will see

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i remember those people "OMG TEH VOLTRON MOVIE!!!!!" :funny:

[drob127]

^LOL...what else was there? pokemon, rampage...

[JT3294]

Wasn't there even someone saying it's a transformers sequel lol

[drob127]

yea i think so...also godzilla remake, dragonball z, digimon even ghostbusters lol

[jbailey84]

there was so much talk of what the thing was going to be in cloverfield lol

[drob127]

if you had two face come back how would you do it?

[jbailey84]

if you had two face come back how would you do it?
thats something i need to think about...i'll get back to you on that.

[JT3294]

Pretty easy, I mean there was no fact that the little ceremony that Gordon was speaking at was a funeral. Could have been dedicating a building to him for all we know (faked his death and all). He might be in the basement of Arkham for all we know. I think that'd be ideal. Just gotta find someway to spring him. Could account for him going a bit crazier... solitary for however long and all.

[drob127]

i would like to hear peoples thoughts on how you would get him back into the movie...i kinda thought either harvey wasnt dead and they put him in arkham but then how do you explain the funeral thing. i wish he did something like as he is on the table about to get flushed he pops up and makes the guy put someone else in the coffin idunno its hard to think about it

[drob127]

i was actually writing something like that on microsoft word and had the scarcorw as his cell mate and scarecrow starts to mess with his mind saying like "look at what he has done to us...i can get us outa here. i gotta a plan happening but we need one more. in...or out? and harvey reaches into his pocket and takes the coin out and says "let's find out" and then as the plan goes down harvey kills the scarecrow

That actually sounds like it'd be a superb idea lol.

[drob127]

thanks

[JT3294]

There has to be a way to spring Two Face though. I can't imagine it's a cakewalk to escape from Arkham lol.

[drob127]

thats where you would either introduce a villain very smart(the riddler) or very strong(bane), but bane would make it way to much like batman and robin...use anyone even a mob guy who has the scarecrow gas

[JT3294]

Aight, here's my Batman 3 synopsis lol.

Batman 3:

Bruce Wayne finally has reason to hang up his cape. With the inspirational image that has been painted of Harvey Dent, a new and just as brave DA has stepped up to fill his shoes. Partnered with Commissioner Gordon's revamped Gotham PD and the hero turned criminal image Batman is portraying, Gotham has had little use for Batman.

Meanwhile, in the basement of Arkham Asylum, Harvey Dent has been tucked away from the public eye. Stuck in solitary with the constant taunts of the Joker and other lunatics, Harvey finally snaps and kills a guard.

The decision is made to move Dent to a more secure facility. One of the guards in Arkham leaks the information to Sal Maroni, who wants revenge for the crippling, near fatal car crash caused by Dent. Maroni hires the criminal Hush to assassinate Dent mid transport.

The attempt goes awry when, as GPD attempt to hold off the ambush, Batman arrives and complicates things. In the confusion, Hush flees, Two Face escapes and Batman is implicated as an accomplice due to his reputation.

Now, in secret, Gordon and Batman must wrangle in Dent while preventing Hush from fulfilling the contract on his life.

-That's my spot treatment lol. I figured that we'd save the Riddler for part 4 as I couldn't find a place for him here lol. And I was debating between Hush and Black Mask as the catalyst, but I think that Hush has more backstory to fit him into the little nooks of the story.

[drob127]

nice.i like it, but if i could say one thing. i know how cool it was in TDK with harvey in the back of the swat car but it would seem like the same thing. other than its good.

[JT3294]

Yeah, i couldn't figure out any other way to get to him lol. Instead of a chase though... I had more like a stand off in mind. Blow up the escort vehicle... blockade Dents and Hush and thugs shoot it out with the cops.

[drob127]

its hard to bring him back...a lot of fans want it including me, but its just too hard to do

[slinger]

Writer Jeph Loeb on The Dark Knight. (http://splashpage.mtv.com/2008/08/14/could-the-dark-knight-inspire-a-new-round-of-comics-we-ask-leading-creators/#more-660)

Jeph Loeb (“Batman: The Long Halloween”): “It makes me want to write a third part of the story that I did with ‘Long Halloween’ and ‘Dark Victory.’ If I had any control over it, I would go back and rename ‘Dark Victory’ ‘The Long Halloween II,’ like how George Lucas made ‘Star Wars’ the fourth one, for ‘A New Hope.’ So this would be ‘The Long Halloween III.’

If the first story was about the transition between when the freaks took over from the crime families, and the second was about the destruction of that family, ending when they’re completely in power, the third would be whether or not organized crime could rise up again, and what that would cost Batman’s city.

It puts Batman in a really interesting place. Which is more in the interest of the public good? So the third story would be more one of hope. He may not ever be able to complete his task, but if he inspires someone to do the job, he does. And that’s a good thing. Batman stories can get really bleak when you get down to it, so this would make sense of it all.”


Just bring in Jeph instead on Goyer.

Hm, i don't know, he really didn't say anything substantial there. Detail wise...

[slinger]

Well instead of writing a new 12 part max-series for the third time, he could work with the Nolan brothers on the script. Long Halloween and Dark Victory fall in the top five best Batman stories and TLH had an influence on BB and TDK.

Aight lol, I was thinking he was talking about him being the driving force behind it. Kinda goofy what with the Nolan Brothers doing such a fantastic job... giving it to him would have been goofy.

I found these amazing posters for Batman 3 villians as well as a few other things...fan made but really well done.

http://joshwmc.deviantart.com/gallery/

[drob127]

anyone else think that robin could be introduced as a batman imposter? i dont want robin in any movie but that would be a really good way to do it. his parents get killed and he does the whole batman thing and batman notices how good he really is and lets him be the sidekick. just for the record i cant see robin in any of these films especially standing next to bale in costume...i just cant

[FVD]

While it's been said by Bale an' Nolan that they don't intend on having Robin in their films, Jeph Loeb believes he can be introduced after his work on Dark Victory. I think he could work especially after seeing him on TAS. Still I do think they could at least introduce Dick Grayson and the tragic death of his family involving Tony Zucco, still seeing that there is still a Mob influence in Gotham.

[drob127]

i said this before...the only time i think robin should be in this is at the very end of the last movie like the whole joker card thing...i just cant see it in these movies

I'm getting really tired of how the media brings up catwoman to Angelina Jolie when they talk to her now. It's like she's gotten the role already and there haven't been any talks between her and the studio or even with Nolan on when he is planning on making the third one. I really wish somebody would just duct tape all of their mouths till Nolan tells us....oh wait I could do that.

[Justin]

Hahahahahaha.....

[Diablo]

A studio executive said: "Cher is Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years.

"The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations."


:funny: A Joke article right? right?

[therook]

Hopefully, but I don't mind it being called The Caped Crusader

[Diablo]

Well I know that the reports of her playing Catwoman are BS but I hope for the writer's sake that he wasn't serious when he wrote the article. ;)

[Jason Krueger]

I'm guessing thats what the aim news thing meant when it said Cher was ready for a catfight, but I doubt its true.

[FilmJerk]

YES!!! I was thinking that. I was thinking bring him in as another hero that Batman doesn't work "with" just happens to show up too. Obviously not all "spandexy" but you know, like a vigilante. And no, not as a costar... I think as maybe an appearance. Like I said, if anyone could pull it off Nolan can

Wow, lol. That's a joke. The script isn't even done. And it took how long to confirm that the Joker WAS going to be in the next one... the title would be The Dark Knight... WHO was playing Two Face and Joker...

To think that they already are announcing that 1 month after TDK release is a joke.

I hope that article was a joke, otherwise that journalist needs to be out a job.

the cher rumor has been around a couple days, and word is that nolan is the one that mentioned it

[WuTical]

If Cher is Catwoman, i will kill myself

[JT3294]

I just wish and would feel MUCH batter if Nolan would come out and go... "Look, I just wanna let y'all know that ALL these rumors are bulls**t... except the Johnny Depp/Riddler one... that one is true" lol.

He's got a publicist... he's got me antsy by not responding to the wild rumors.

[sshuttari]

all these rumors are a waste of time...

Cher as catwoman come on give us a break.

You guys think Nolan is stupid or something...

That's awesome... I think any Depp/Burton combo is the greatest thing since sliced bread... or condoms.

[Matrix_Fan]

Not to get off topic, but I'm getting a little tired of Burton and Depp collaborating. I know they're best friends/possible secret lovers, but not every single Burton movie needs to have Depp or half the cast of Harry Potter in it nowadays. Knowing him, he's going to cast Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen Of Hearts. Come on Burton, show some variety. You're cool and all, but seriously, try a new actor.

[DVDAVE]

What villians would every one like to see in the sequel. Just make a random list. List as many as possible that you think would make good candidates.

Talia al Ghul
Bane
Deadshot
Riddler
Hush
Anarky

[EnderDeschain]

Bane. That's my list.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Hush, The Riddler, or Two Face as the main baddy. Poison Ivy or Catwoman as the sub villain.

[Doomsday]

King Tut
Egghead

That's my list.

[Tornado]

Dracula
The Mummy
Frankenstein's Monster
Gill-man
The Invisible Man
The Wolf Man

Bring back the bat-nipples, bring in Robin, and just camp the hell out of it. ;)

[jbailey84]

Alcoholism
Drug Abuse
Father Issues
and the Riddler

...and the Clap

[drob127]

^LOL...the line that i liked from that article- "filming of the new Batman instalment, provisionally entitled The Caped Crusader, is due to begin in Vancouver early next year".

they dont even know if there is going to be a third batman movie. there is no script yet and nobody knows a thing. i think that would be the worst batman title ever...the caped crusader

[JBond]

Osama Bin Laden/Egg Head

[JT3294]

Venom







oh wait....

[bbf2]

Osama Bin Laden

Frank Miller, is that you?

[drob127]

im thinking about going to see this in IMAX

[Nilade]

No sub villian, just The Riddler.

[Knerys]

Bane, the real Bane, would be awesome. I could see the story going somewhere with that.

If I had a say, Bane and the Riddler would be good, with Talia as a possible love interest if they went that route.

And I'm not going to listen to any article or new flash until I know for a fact that Nolan has said he is doing another film.

[Fanible]

I wouldn't mind hearing some more casting thoughts on either character. Other than, you know, the "common" ones that sites keep rumoring. There's a few I wouldn't mind for the Riddler. I have no idea about someone like Bane though.

[IanTheCool]

Not to get off topic, but I'm getting a little tired of Burton and Depp collaborating. I know they're best friends/possible secret lovers, but not every single Burton movie needs to have Depp or half the cast of Harry Potter in it nowadays.

Agreed.

[Knerys]

I think the Riddler make logical sense to include because now that Batman is a fugitive everyone is going to be clamoring to figure out who he is. Bane is more or less for vindication but I could see Nolan fitting him in there.


As for casting.....they're all so....obvious. Not that is bad, but, I don't know...think outside the box or something.

[casablanca3]

not sure if this was mentioned by anyone, i might have even said him i forget haha but what about michael emerson(ben) from lost? i personally think he would be fantastic and is my top choice after daniel day lewis which we all know would never happen haha

[sabin26]

I really hope that when Nolan does say he is making a third that he keeps it hush for awhile on who the villians will be, that way he has more time to pick who he wants. If Warner Brothers get to involved with who they think he should cast...we'll have Bret Ratner directing it and ruining another comic book franchise.

[Deexan]

I think Nolan will come back for at least one more, after all he'll be well aware that if he didn't then Warner Brothers would inevitably bring somebody else in to make it and i don't think he'd want his Batman legacy ruined in the way that Tim Burton's kinda was by B&R.

[André]

Dont worry, Nolan will be making the third movie. Why? Because WB can afford to pay him whatever he demands.

[Frowningclown]

But am i wrong... Batman and catwoman are suppose to have some kind of love nest going but is there a story where catwoman is a cougar and batman is the naughty college boy home for winter break... so

catwoman(but not cher...maybe the chick from the happening)
riddler
two face(he's not dead-HE'S ALIVE)
AND BATGIRL( HELL YEA)

[DAN!]

you silly clown. a bat and a cat can't have a love nest. Cats and bats don't even find eachother attractive! creatures tend to mate with their own species.

and two face aint alive. i visited him in the after and he is fine. he met a nice girl that likes his face....she is goth.... and a vampire.

[drob127]

i still think its gonna be hard to top this one...and i think its safe to say that if ledger didnt die then he would prolly be in the third one

[therook]

of coarse with all the money that this movie is making

[petergriffin246]

Hey I was bored so I wrote a one page treatment of how I think the Riddler should be portrayed, sorry its not in script format:

(MIKE ENGEL walks on to the patio and he sees a neatly set up table with a tablecloth, two chairs, a teapot and two teacups. One one side of the table sits EDWARD NASHTON who will later be known as THE RIDDLER. He is wearing a standard suit with a black tie. he is younger about 30 and is VERY clean cut with a rather distinguished look about him and he wears rather normal glasses. He appears to be rather timid.Behind him stands a rather large man who is presumably a bodyguard of some sort)

Nashton: Hello Mr. Engel, please have a seat.

(ENGEL sits down on the other side of the table)

Nashton: Care for some tea?

Engel: Uh yeah, thanks.

(NASHTON picks up the teapot and pours him a cup)

Nashton: I'm a big fan of yours, Mr Engel.

Mike Engel: Hey, thanks! I don't have much of those anymore.

Nashton: Really? Well I think your a fine reporter. Anyways the reason I called you over is to discuss something that happened approximetly one year ago. You were on the news about to reveal the identitiy of the vigilante known as the Batman, when you were cut off by some madman.You never addressed the issue again. I would love it if you shared this valuable information with me.

Engel: (nervously)Oh I was just talking out of my ass. You know,for publicity.

Nashton: Dont take me for a fool. I can promise you that this information will be kept entirely confidential.

Engel: Look I think I better get going.

Nashton: Mike, please!

Engel: No, goodbye.

Nashton: (To bodyguard) could I have my cane please?

(The bodyguard hands him a black cane. ENGEL watches this with a confused look on his face. Suddenly NASHTON hits Engel over the head with the cane. He hits him again and again. NASHTON'S seemingly timid demeanor has now changed to the demeanor of a lunatic)

Nashton: WHO IS THE BATMAN?!

Engel: ( In pain) I DONT KNOW! JUST PLEASE STOP!!

(NASHTON hits him again)
Nashton: TELL ME!

Engel: WAYNE!!! BRUCE WAYNE!!!!

( NASHTON ends the beating. His demeanor changes to the timid gentleman he was before the beating.)

Nashton: Thank you, Mr. Engel you have been most useful.


(NASHTON begins to walk off but is stoppd by his bodyguard)

Bodyguard: Thats it?

Nashton: Most certianly not! We must dispose of him.

(The Bodyguard takes a gun out of his pocket and trys to hand it to NASHTON. NASHTON just stares at the gun in disgust.)

Nashton: A gun? Really? I dont associate myself with those things,because, as you know, I AM a gentleman. You shoot him then come and get me when your done. I'll be in my car completing a crossword puzzle.


(NASHTON straightens his tie and walks off)

It'd be interesting to see how Nolan would write The Huntress into the story. But that would require Catwoman, so never mind.

1.) Why Nashton and not Nigma?
2.) Why do you think Engel knows Batman's identity?

[petergriffin246]

^ He was about to reveal the identity but got cut off, but if I'm wrong then hey I'll just replace him Reese. Why Nashton? well ALOT of graphic novels change Edward's last name to Nashton, its quite common

[drob127]

i thought you were going to say the bodyguard was bane

[petergriffin246]

^lol no, I wouldnt do that

[Fanible]

Engel was the reporter (which you seem to already know from your written story), so yeah, obviously it wasn't him that knew Batman's identity, but was Reese. Reese is the one who found out and talked to Lucious Fox about it, and then went onto the news, whom Joker told people to kill before he could reveal anything.

[drob127]

i think he means reese might have told engel, idunno

[FVD]

I've no reason why they would want to kill off Engel. I think it's because I don't want to see AMH getting killed off. ;)

Still wished the Dead Zone could've at least continued for just one more season. :(

I thought Reese might've told him. I dunno it's confusing cuz Reese and Engel look so freakin similar!!!

[drob127]

not only is the whole mr. reese (mysteries) thing weird but the riddler's whole thing was to find out who batman was and reese knows...if the riddler should be anyone it should be him, but it wont

Hey I was bored so I wrote a one page treatment of how I think the Riddler should be portrayed, sorry its not in script format:

(MIKE ENGEL walks on to the patio and he sees a neatly set up table with a tablecloth, two chairs, a teapot and two teacups. One one side of the table sits EDWARD NASHTON who will later be known as THE RIDDLER. He is wearing a standard suit with a black tie. he is younger about 30 and is VERY clean cut with a rather distinguished look about him and he wears rather normal glasses. He appears to be rather timid.Behind him stands a rather large man who is presumably a bodyguard of some sort)

Nashton: Hello Mr. Engel, please have a seat.

(ENGEL sits down on the other side of the table)

Nashton: Care for some tea?

Engel: Uh yeah, thanks.

(NASHTON picks up the teapot and pours him a cup)

Nashton: I'm a big fan of yours, Mr Engel.

Mike Engel: Hey, thanks! I don't have much of those anymore.

Nashton: Really? Well I think your a fine reporter. Anyways the reason I called you over is to discuss something that happened approximetly one year ago. You were on the news about to reveal the identitiy of the vigilante known as the Batman, when you were cut off by some madman.You never addressed the issue again. I would love it if you shared this valuable information with me.

Engel: (nervously)Oh I was just talking out of my ass. You know,for publicity.

Nashton: Dont take me for a fool. I can promise you that this information will be kept entirely confidential.

Engel: Look I think I better get going.

Nashton: Mike, please!

Engel: No, goodbye.

Nashton: (To bodyguard) could I have my cane please?

(The bodyguard hands him a black cane. ENGEL watches this with a confused look on his face. Suddenly NASHTON hits Engel over the head with the cane. He hits him again and again. NASHTON'S seemingly timid demeanor has now changed to the demeanor of a lunatic)

Nashton: WHO IS THE BATMAN?!

Engel: ( In pain) I DONT KNOW! JUST PLEASE STOP!!

(NASHTON hits him again)
Nashton: TELL ME!

Engel: WAYNE!!! BRUCE WAYNE!!!!

( NASHTON ends the beating. His demeanor changes to the timid gentleman he was before the beating.)

Nashton: Thank you, Mr. Engel you have been most useful.


(NASHTON begins to walk off but is stoppd by his bodyguard)

Bodyguard: Thats it?

Nashton: Most certianly not! We must dispose of him.

(The Bodyguard takes a gun out of his pocket and trys to hand it to NASHTON. NASHTON just stares at the gun in disgust.)

Nashton: A gun? Really? I dont associate myself with those things,because, as you know, I AM a gentleman. You shoot him then come and get me when your done. I'll be in my car completing a crossword puzzle.


(NASHTON straightens his tie and walks off)

END SCENE

"He's Dead."

Straight from the Eckheart and Nolan. Can't get much more true than that.

Not that I never suspected that he wasn't in deed dead. But you know even though the words were spoken from the man himself, people still gonna say he's lying. And the arguments over the topic will continue til they realize that he won't be in a third film.

[drob127]

^yep. i thought they could of killed him off in a better way though

[slinger]

He wasn't signed for a second film which is pretty odd. Sure he could get signed for another movie but usually the studios cover their ass. Harrison Ford and Shia were signed for more Indy movies. But its good to hear his character won't be returning, the character had justice performed on everyone involved in Rachel's death. 500 criminals would be released if the real information was revealed, its better to use someone else.

[Birdy]

^yep. i thought they could of killed him off in a better way though

I agree. His character was portrayed well. I just wish his death was something other than going over a ledge. But other than that the character's time was brief and was glad he was included.

and so many people claim they are so sure otherwise. it was so obvious, people shouldnt have argued it. or acted like it was a fact that he was alive

[Matrix_Fan]

Though it would have been nice if he was still alive, I can accept that he died, only because there wasn't anywhere else the character could go.

[bbf2]

Wow! I hope you never become bored again!

That's not cool. I thought it was a pretty entertaining write-up, PG246.

Wow, that means I was right the whole time.

Hardly a spoiler too, because HE DIED.

[drob127]

it was fair to say that he might of lived only because the way he died. like i said before batman and harvey fell the same fall and batman was shot and still survived. it should of been a different way.

[jbailey84]

i thought he lived because he fell the same height Sal did and broke his ankles. thought maybe Dent broke his neck or somethin. oh well.

but Rachael did survive a fall from the top of a freakin building ontop to a car too!!

[FranklinTard]

.... fanboys... get it straight... hes ****ing dead.... we know it, he knows it, now you need to accept it.

[bbf2]

I think it's pretty obvious that both Two-Face and Rachel survived. In the next film, Rachel will become Catwoman (taking the reins from an older Catwoman, played by Cher) and Two-Face will team up with The Riddler (Johnny Depp) and the Penguin (Phillip Seymour Hoffman.)

Sounds Legit to me ;)

[EnderDeschain]

In all fairness to the fanboys, Harvey's death did seem a little ambiguous. If they were that goddamn certain they wanted him to stay dead, they should've done a little better job of removing doubt. Him getting zipped up in a body bag or in a casket or friggin something. Everyone's sorta prone to disbelieving deaths in movies anyway, leave the slightest bit of room and you oughta know folks aren't gonna believe it, so leaving room seems to suggest it might not be so. ****, I'm not making any sense.

[DVDAVE]

Well I actually thought he lived. But oh well.

[sshuttari]

Well he's dead.... moving on...

[DragnFire22]

Harvey Lives!

[Knerys]

.... fanboys... get it straight... hes ****ing dead.... we know it, he knows it, now you need to accept it.

For someone who didn't like the movie all that much you are certainly adament about this.....

You've become quite the troll in your old age.

[sabin26]

I second that what Knerys said. Why even get into the discussion if you didn't enjoy it in the first place.

[JBond]

I'm not really complaining though, just felt like pointing it out.

[sshuttari]

Man... I really hope Chris Nolan puts down the Catwoman rumors and that Angelina Jolie might get cast.

[FranklinTard]

For someone who didn't like the movie all that much you are certainly adament about this.....

because all the info, even the actor and director, not to mention script writer, all have said he died. yet there are these people saying 'well i think hes alive' in the face of insurmountable information that he is in fact, dead.
