Screen Rant:
While recycling is great for the environment, in movies it can get a bit stale. As the The Dark Knight Rises is set to swoop into theaters next month, we see some select Bat-baddies (Catwoman and Bane) yet again getting another bite at that big-screen apple.
With the list of Batman’s rogues gallery being longer than Catwoman’s whip, it may be time for some fresh (albeit slightly rotten) meat to get their shots at the silver screen. I personally would love to see Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze get another, less-hokey, depiction in a movie – but if I were going to sit here and drag on about the old movies, we would be here all day...
So if you’re tired of seeing the same old Batman movie bag guys, then join us as we take a look at 15 Batman villains on our movie wish-list.
Christian Bale took on the role of Batman for three motion picture releases, however it seems the actor wasn't pleased with his performance.
SBV: "April 1 starts strong with The Color Purple and Goodfellas. The HBO drama series The Nevers premieres on April 11. And then on April 16, the latest Mortal Kombat film premieres. If you like superheroes, Green Lantern and The Dark Knight Rises are also coming in April."
Is this one of the greatest trilogies of all time?
I wouldn't have minded seeing some of these on the big screen against the Dark Knight.
I would have LOVED to see Nolan do a take on Riddler. With a serious, dark tone such as Nolan has done, Riddler could have been amazing.
Since it's mentioned, I do think Jim Carrey gets a bad wrap for his portrayal. As this article mentions, the portrayal was indeed campy which didn't make it as good as it had potential to be (if for instance a more serious and dark one was done by someone like Nolan). But, that wasn't Carrey's fault. That was a directional choice. And for what was asked of him, Carrey actually did pretty damn well, I thought.
Talia...I assume we'll be seeing.
Hugo would be a good choice for a Batman movie. Wouldn't mind that at all.
I also think Calendar Man could have been an interesting sub-villain for Nolan's movies. But only in Nolan's movies maybe. The character itself is nothing special so it would need to play out in a realistic universe where he can stand out. If you try to introduce him into some fantastical world (where things like Killer Croc, Clayface or Poison Ivy, etc live) then he would just come off as too plain and ordinary.
I'd really like to see a Harley Quinn character in a movie. I just like her for some reason. With her being one of only few worthwhile female characters in the universe, it would be nice to see her as opposed to something like....Catwoman, more Catwoman, more Catwoman, oh..and more Catwoman.
Hush was one I was semi-hoping for in Nolan's final Batman movie as well. Him or Deadshot would have been a nice addition.
I would have really enjoyed seeing Harley Quinn in on of Nolan's movies. Alison Brie would have been perfect for that role.
I think JL is right though...some would have only worked in Nolan's Batman movies because of his mind direction and what he projects and directs to his characters. Harley Quinn a big yes!
Hugo + Riddler in one movie will give Bats a real BIG mind F.
