So far the popular vote has been the riddler
the concern i have with that is that i think the riddler, if nolan were to reinvent him, would be far too similar to Ledger's Joker to stay consistant the darker tone of the movies
and please, no jim carrey ugh
Wishlist for next Villain in Batman 3
Mr Freeze would be really hard to ground him and make him realistic like the joker
him and poison Ivy
I could see the Riddler work if they left the sadisitc maniacly humor and lean towards a Jigsaw like character from Saw
I'd want to see the Penguin with or without Bain. Bain is a really cool villain, and he'd be perfect.
I'd like to see Two Face re-done in a darker way, like Joker was in The Dark Knight. I think Tommy Lee Jones' performance was a little over the top and not that great. I wouldn't want to see the Penguin OR Catwoman re-done because I think Tim Burton did a really good job making those characters very dark in their own way. So yeah, Two-Face for me.
I think the bigggest problem is besidese Penguin (He represnts class strugle) most of the villlians that are left to really showcase are not very deep. i mean poison ivy is good for lust etc but that stuff is played. Honestly if you think you enjoyed the batman movies a whole lot because the villians were "Cool' you are either A) not really understanding what made it cool or B) Super Ridic
I'd like to see Mr. Freeze redone.
He has a very tragic history and it would go great with these new dark themed movies.
I 2nd the vote for Mr. Freeze, that would be awesome...but i don't know if we'll ever see Freeze again after Arnold murdered him.
"I would like Mr Freeze, but only if he is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger again...seriously?
"
My vote is for the Penguin. Danny DeVito did a damn fine job though, it will be hard to top him.
I don't want a second villain added if he is going to get the short end of the stick. I was really disappointed by *SPOILERS* how quickly Two-Face was killed in the Dark Knight. And for the sake of everyone, I hope none of Batman's sidekicks are ever introduced in this series of films.
By the way, *SPOILER AGAIN* does anyone find it funny that the Joker lived, but the actor died and Two-Face died, but the actor lived?
Penguin would be pretty dope.
But for some reason the ending of the Dark Knight made me feel that Catwoman would be an excellent villain if played right.
*SPOILER*
I mean he lost his girl and he's now seen as a villain to the people of Gotham so maybe a whole "Catwoman and Batman are working together!" type headline in Gotham newspapers could work a-la the situation that happened with Spiderman and The Green Goblin in Spiderman 1.
*SPOILER OVER*
Plus i"m interested in seeing a Christopher Nolanized Catwoman.
Hulk wouldn't mind seeing a Knightfall rendition. Bane comes to town. Bane breaks puny Batman. Jean Paul Valley (Azrael) takes up the Batman mantle. He goes over the line and kills Bane and brutally beats down and kills other villains through out the movie. Batman spends time recovering. He then takes down Azrael, who is revealed to have a connection with Ras Al Ghul and the League of Shadows, who survived the end of Batman Begins. Batman then smashes him too.
Christopher Nolan should hire Hulk.
Mr. Freeze but he would have to be entirely reimagined just like Scarecrow.
The Riddler is different from joker in the sense that he's not insane. Joker doesn't use puzzles. And Riddler would have an origin and a motive for what he's doing both things Joker doesn't have.
And Catwoman. Time to bring her back as well.
"True, true. I think the reason we associate the two so much is the puzzles. The joker's social experiment may seem too similar to The Riddler's methods though.

And how awesome was Dark Knight guys? Seriously. Wow. Ledgers Joker is right up their with Hannibal Lecter and Daniel Plainview.
Even though I really don't want to see a Batman 3 after how good Dark Knight was, Penguin and Catwoman are the only two I could possibly see in Nolan's more realistic world.
