Who should be then next Batman Villain

[DarkestDemon17]

I dont see how they can put Quinn into the picture cuz u'd need the joker for that..as far as the choices given..i'd say the riddler. but i agree with some of u on the Madhatter, that'd be interesting. as far as superman in gotham...i'd say Nolan would be the perfect choice to make that happen. and title it World's Finest

I doubt that Nolan is interested in make a Batman-Superman Movie.

I'm all for using some of the lesser-known villains that haven't been used in a Batman movie yet. Black Mask would be awesome.

[andyman1970]

None of the above. Way to predictable and cheesy. Why not just re-release the old Batman movies?

What's so particularly-great about The Riddler (seeing as how he is in the lead here)?

I just remember how great a job Jim carrey did. And if they could find someone to blow Jack Nicholson's performance out of the water as the joker, they might be able to do the same with the riddler.

I voted for Catwoman but not because she'd be the big bad of the movie, just 'cuz I think she'd be an interesting foil for Nolan/Bale's Batman. Otherwise, I'm really not too hot with the other names on the list. Mr. Freeze became a very interesting character in TAS, but in a live action film, he's just a bad guy with a gun. Penguin, mob boss with an umbrella. Ledger did too good a job as The Joker for there to be a plausible reason for Harley. The Riddler might be plausible, but what, for lack of a better phrase, is his motivation that's on par with a global villain who almost poisoned an entire city and a psycho who crapped on the mob and the Gotham justice system. My preference is to introduce Talia al Ghul, tie her in obviously with her father, maybe she's even the new leader of the League of Shadows. Having Nolan create a strong female villain for Bale's Batman to have to deal with would be fresh and new. It couldn't necessarily be about physical combat, but wits and strategy, which has been in every Nolan Batman film.

Sensitive Ponytail Man... I'd like to see Batman kick his backside.

I don't think Jim Carrey's hyper-manic, campy and overall cartoon-ish portrayal of The Riddler fits in with the Christopher Nolan model of the "Batman" universe... so, if they did choose to go with that character I'd imagine it'd be an entirely different take.

Is this the same Black Mask I'm thinking of. The movies with Jet Li?

[Blu-Curry]

I think it should be the Riddler (preferably portrayed by Depp) and Black Mask. The Riddler would be the main villain with hopefully some fun "games" (maybe like Saw but not totally?) for his victims and I guess he could be used as a character to find out who Batman is, so the police could arrest him for his "murders".

Black Mask would be the mob villain, and I believe he has a history with Bruce.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Ventriloquist though with his Scarface dummy. That guy just gives me the creeps....

No, that is a totally different character entirely. Here is the Batman universe's Black Mask: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mask_(comics)

[MAPdead]

The main villain be The Riddler and the other be a lesser known one or someone who hasn't been in the movies at all.

Johnny Depp could probably only pull off a good manic Riddler. That's not the sort of Riddler that I'd like to see... we already got that from Jim Carrey, and that's how it was done in the '60s too. Frankly, I'd say that Depp would be more apt to doing The Joker (although, a different Joker than Ledger's).

Riddler should be played straight. A fine gentleman in a nice green suit and bowler. A calm and composed fellow who commits crimes and is driven by a compulsion involving riddles. I was involved in a similar discussion elsewhere and the best actor for this sort of thing in my opinion turned up to be Hugo Weaving. If Depp played it that way, I think it would probably come off as too dark and sinister. Remember that the Riddler might be a thief, but he's not an outright killer like the Joker is; he's not fundamentally evil.

Just being "not used already" doesn't make it good by default. Madhatter would be interesting, but it wouldn't work well within the universe here. Mind control is a little farfetched.

But, say, Hush, would be great too. Unique, not a known character outside of comics, and his appearance would play well into the plot of Batman having been identified as a murderer. Others like Black Mask would probably a step backwards after what we've seen thus far. I'd say even the likes of Penguin would be a step backward... if they include these sorts of characters, they'd have to be more like cameos I think, because I don't see how they could hold the full length of a film after what this Batman's been through this far.

The interesting thing about the relationship between the Riddler and Batman is that the Riddler is potentially the very best at bringing out the intellect of the Dark Knight. He doesn't beat the Riddler by punching his lights out, he beats him by besting him on an intellectual level. And that's the thing, The Riddler intends to test the World's Greatest Detective. And given that we've seen very little detectiving thus far, I'd love to see something a little smarter from Bruce Wayne (forgive the possible negative connotations about these first two films, because they were amazing in all honesty).
