Couch Potato Club:
Well, it’s official that the Riddler will not be making an appearance in Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie. Nolan himself confirmed earlier, along with the title of the movie (The Dark Knight Rises), that the Riddler will not be the villain. He also remained tight-lipped and wouldn’t give any more information about who the villain might be. Given this news, the web has been abuzz yet again with speculation about the high-profile sequel. Speculation is again running rampant about who could possibly be the villain.
Today, we’re going to join in on the speculation and buzz as I give my top 5 choices of who could be the villain and who I would like to see. While there were previously rumors of Killer Croc being the villain (and Tom Hardy playing him), I’m not too sure on that rumor and not particularly fond of the idea either. So here we go with 5 villains that I would like to see in the third Batman film from Nolan.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I think these villians are a bit more useable in the Nolan universe, but in terms of advertisment for WB not so much. You can't really use any of these villians to gain interest in the movie. Unless you leave Nolans world and make it out there and really cool loooking in commercials.
Overall it's a pretty solid list. Personally I don't care for the crime boss ones, even though those are the most likely. I really want a super villain who can give Batman big problems. Call me old fashioned.
I would love to see Hush in the third film, but part of me feels like his story would need a little more lead in. Perhaps if they had mentioned him in some way in the first film (where Crane releases everyone) or even mentioned him as a boy from Bruce's past. It just seems like a lot of back story cover while still trying to move forward.
Anarky, would be interesting, but I can't see them going that route. Honestly, I really want Scarecrow to finally be a main villain. I know it's not likely to happen, but it would be nice. He's my all-time favorite and he's proved himself worthy time and again in the comics.
I can only think it must be his personal nemesis Cialish & his gang of Viagrants.
Seriously, Black Mask sounds like an interesting story spanning the two lives of Bruce Wayne. That would make a movie-worthy psychological tale -- and you could always add a subplot for the erectile dysfunction.
the problem with this list is these are villains that most people that don't read the comics have never heard of. And the only way I'd green light Black Mask is if he was as crazy as he was in Batman: Under The Red Hood!
It's also rumoured that the lady from Inception (Marion Cout...) apparently turned down the female role.
Possibly Talia or Catwoman to add to the mix.
