Nolan And Goyer Talk Batman 3 Villains

[GreenScar]

Go here for the full interview (and a lot of Joker talk).

These guys know what the hell they're doing!


DAVID GOYER: The movie still feels complete. I think if there was not a third one, it’s not like “Oh my god! These things haven’t been answered.”

JONATHAN NOLAN: That’s the idea, very much. It’s to make complete films.

MoviesOnline: You’ve done Scarecrow, you’ve done Joker, Ra’s Al Ghul, and now Two-Face, if you were to do a third film, which characters would you like to tackle?

DAVID GOYER: We’re not going to tell you other than to say Batman has been published for 70 years. In the first movie we used Ra’s Al Ghul and the Scarecrow who had not been in the movies before and had not been in the 60s TV show and there are dozens, if not hundreds of other characters that fit that bill. Everyone says you have to use the Penguin or Catwoman. Well, I completely disagree.

JONATHAN NOLAN: There’s a very deep roster of great characters over seventy years.

I want to see Clayface and Bane (the real Bane who breaks Batman's back).

A Redo of the Riddler is a must. After knowing the ending

[Show spoiler] Two Face dies

[Show spoiler] Its kind of obvious a new Villain is needed

Just get him ranting about Scientology and you'll have no problems with Batman being able to try and riddle out what the hell he's yammering on about.

How did this go from a Batman thread to a Tom Cruise thread?

Given the pigs-breakfast Tim Burton made of both in his version, I don't.

(And the tragedy is, in the scenes Penguin shared with Catwoman, or playing to the crowds, you could see Hamm and Waters writing the "real" character, and Danny DeVito playing him letter-perfect to the original--
But Tim didn't think that was "interesting enough", unquote, and turned him into the Sewer Boy...Uh, that's nice, Tim; here, you go play with this thimble, and let the real comic book fans talk for a while, 'kay?)

Stop it with the temptation!

[gamer4eva]

there are rumours circulating the web that its gonna be The Riddler most started by me (na jks) but i believe its gonna be him because by judging christopher nolan's f***ing AMAZING movies he would like a character that is human not some freak or a wierdo but some1's character that can be explored and not just limited by what he/she does eg catwoman, penguin

[Daredevil666]

I don't get how Nolan can say this movie is complete : there is no catharsis in the ending, and it's left open just like Empire Strikes Back.

[BirdManJr]

Yeah i guess if there going for the more dark...real feel...riddler would be the best fit....if done right that is....

what about scare crow tho? everybody seems to forget he didnt die in batman begins....

[Show spoiler]Dark Knight is heavily influenced by the graphic noval Dark Victory, that novel ends with the Joker shooting Two-Face in the head. Two-Face falls down a cravass in the Batcave after being shot. Two-Face is then seen alive at the end of the story. It is possible to bring Two-Face back, depending on how he dies.
