I don't think he really died in TDK. I was thinking that it would be the usual "I thought you were dead" thing, after "surprisingly" seeing 2 Face make a comeback. Besides it would be such a shame to have him die so quickly. I mean he's only been a villain for like 10 minutes.
If Nolan isn't into mutants or the like. Killer Croc could be a Jim Rose circus type with scarification. See Crocodile men of East Sepik. I'd go Talia al Ghul as the major villain with Killer Croc (minor) Characters like the Riddler, Penguin, and Mr. Freeze don't appear to fit with Nolan's Batman.
The Riddler would fit fine with Nolan's Batman. So would Catwoman or The Penguin (in his contemporary mob boss incarnation). I'd rather they stayed away from the Al Ghul's. They botched Ra's pretty badly.
very cool news.... who do you want to see as the next villain? personally, i'd really like to see the rest of the joker story played out...but i'm just not sure if that's possible after ledger.
I wouldn't count Nolan out. He has had a trilogy planned out from the get go. Batman 3 will be monumental.
the first one was a great movie, too. i'd be fine with that. i don't expect it to live up to Dark Knight.
I hope so but I doubt it. Some director will never change their color. I mean both Batman was a great movie but the chase and fight scenes were terribly disappointing. He's a good story teller director but not very good on placing his action scenes.
I'd like to see The Riddler...it would fit in with his universe quite nicely and could give you the illusion that the Joker exists without actually having to cast anyone as the The Joker. The Penguin I feel would be too similar to Falcone, but he would be another obvious choice. I would have loved to see Nolan take on Freeze but I know he won't. But I think if you consider where the story left us at the end of Dark Knight, Penguin or Riddller would be the best characters to bring the trilogy full circle, with Joker lurking somewhere in the background. I don't wanna see Depp as Riddler... I'm starting to get burned out on him...he gets mentioned with any character that has any sort of eccentricities these days... I feel if he's in it, as good as an actor he is, I'll be looking at Depp and not Riddler.
I think the Riddler could work very nicely.. I'm picturing something less quirky but more demented, along the lines of Kevin Spacey's character in se7en.. Nolan and Fincher are my favs :grin:
Now that you say that, Spacey playing a demented version of the Riddler would rock. Just because they cast The Riddler as a character doesn't mean they need him to be dressed in green with big question marks all over him. Lots of real life villains have been given weird names by police officials to mark who they are. A demented criminal who leaves cryptic notes and gets labeled the Riddler by the police.
What about Phillip Seymore Hoffman for riddler? I know that rumor was floated a while ago. I liked his villian character in mission impossible 3, and he's definitely a talented enough actor to fit into the seriousness of Nolan's movies.
Just cuz the movies are about Batman doesn't mean he has to dress up in a bat suit. Why should the Joker have to wear clown makeup, maybe just sunglasses like he is a Poker player... don't F with the fanboys. Nolan knows.
