is the name for the third instalment of Chris Nolan's Batman movies. He also confirmed that the Riddler won't be the villain. I think it has to be the penguin now, but maybe one of you guys knows something I don't know.
 
I love Batman, but everybody stop talking about this film in particular and Christopher Nolan in general.
 
I heard that Nolan didn't want to use penguin because he wanted to use characters that would be much easier to portray for someone.

As for the real villian,. I would really want Hugo Strange to be the one. I think he would fit in well with Nolan's batman film series.
 
Penguin (Nolan would probably only use the Oswald Cobblepot name) could be possible, if used as a crime boss, and not some caricature. Same thing with Black Mask. I agree about Hugo Strange, could be interesting. Deadshot would be rather fun as well.

Also, I wouldn't quite count out Two-Face. I realize Eckhart said he wouldn't be back, but things can change. Am I banking on it? No, not at all, but it's somewhat possible. I would say Ra's al Ghul is still possible, but I think he died in a pretty clear fashion. But then again, who knows.
 
I have to agree with Quinn being in it. I don't see her being the only villain though because Batman won't beat the shit out of a female for 3 hours. I really am stumped since they ruled Riddler out because there aren't very many "Realistic" people they can do things with.
 
Maybe the title means he gets another love interest.

PLEASE let the villain be Penguin. He'd fit. Just make him a disgusting organized crime boss with a pointed nose and monocle. Oh, and lots of money. And make him a complete monster. Get Timothy Spall to play him.

Yeah, because Ra's hasn't died and come back to live in the comics before. Ra's never dies and doesn't come back.

If the likes of Catwoman, and/or Poison Ivy come near the 3rd movie as the main enemies - Nolan deserves his nuts cut off. They can be 2nd rate, like Harley. Sidekicks even.

Well, Catwoman is pretty solo and all, and that's what triggered when you said love interest. But fuck all, if Poison Ivy is the main enemy, then the movie will be shit.

I'm honestly thinking someone else will simply play the Joker character. I mean, Heath may be dead - but the character isn't.

As stupid as this might initially sound, I always said I would like to see Johnny Depp play Heath Ledger's joker.

I don't want him to play his own version, I just think he would be capable in imitating Ledger's role.

As much as I would like to see it be Joker/Batman for the final movie, there's just no way.

Penguin would be a pretty good choice, as would Talia al Ghul.

Honestly I really want to see Mr. Freeze. It could be really awesome if done right, plus that character deserves redemption after the atrocity that was Batman and Robin.

Well, Depp did play a slight cameo (along with Jude Law) to cover up for Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. So it could be possible.

Albeit, I simply don't think it's worth it to try and imitate someone, so much as to make your own character out of it.

I mean, no matter how black Robert Downey Jr. turns himself, I'll never view him as Samuel L. Jackson, understand?

I wouldn't mind Penguin, but depending on where and how he went with the character, I'm simply unsure if it'd be worth it.

As for Ghul, the only problem I have with him is the same problem I have with personally wanting Croc. Only die-hard Batman fans are going to know who that is. And most of the people going to these films are doing so because of the traditional high profile characters that main-streamed Batman.

Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed Batman & Robin. Not because I thought it was a masterpiece, though.

Arnold, originally had me in belief he was perfect for the role - but to be honest, some big muscle bound guy is completely wrong for that role. It needs to be someone that looks more weak than strong. Freeze wasn't a powerful enemy by strength, he was powerful by skill and knowledge.

That all being said, Freeze being in the movie borderlines turning it campy. His main weapon was freezing everyone. Think how corny and stupid that looked in B&R.

Poison Ivy has potential, scary potential, to be a villian. Same with Catwoman. I'm disappointed Riddler won't be the guy, but I'm sure he has his reasons for why not.

I hear what you're saying. Either way there will be backlash from people complaining that " X wasn't as good as Ledger" I think that Depp has the skill to take what Ledger has done with the Joker character and make it is own. Build on it, without tearing it apart if that makes sense.

Scarecrow wasn't a mainstream character.
 
Catwoman was confirmed somewhere, I read it earlier. Just not sure where.

I'd love to see Penguin though, Depp sounds a good idea for Joker if he makes a comeback & Harley.
 
All that's been confirmed 'villain' wise is that Nolan has cast Tom Hardy in a yet un-named role while he is also looking for a female lead as well.
 
Rupert Thorne & Hugo Strange. Maybe Throw in Deadshot for the Fight Scenes. Just Go Through Englehart's Run on Detective Comics (Minus the Laughing Fish).

No Deadshot. Suicide Squad movie in the works.
