Click to viewWhen it come to discourse about what should take place in the follow - up to The Dark Knight , all of the ( so far totally baseless ) hearsay seem to be centering around all the honest-to-goodness familiar character : Catwoman ? The Penguin ? The Riddler ? amount on , people . Batman ’s been around for almost 70 geezerhood , ca n’t he deal with some other spoiled guys on - screen for once ? Under the start , we look at five villains that Christopher Nolan really should – but probably wo n’t – consider for future silver screen stardom .
Never mind the gaudily - dressed evil - doers that people normally associate with Gotham City ’s protector ; any succeeding Batman photographic film should stick with the more grounded version of n’er - do - well that we ’ve seen in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight . sure enough , the Scarecrow still had his veneration gas pedal and the Joker had his trademark make - up , but even both of those were given a more realistic and believable treatment that you could fall for without demand too much of a suspension of unbelief . That ’s why the villains we need to see are less about the ocular pizazz and more about the psychological problems they ’d pose Mr. Wayne ’s popular alter - self-importance .
Professor Hugo Strange : A demented psychiatrist who knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman but want him deadened so that he can take over as Batman himself ? That ’s on the button the form of thing we ’re look for . Although this comparatively - unknown character was create before the Joker and appear in various comics and cartoons , he ’s never really commence his due – But perhaps Nolan could fix that .
Deadshot : Another bad - guy with a genial braid , Floyd Newton may be better recognize to mirthful sports fan nowadays as a member of Gail Simone ’s Secret Six , but he started life as the mankind ’s second - big bravo and a gentleman’s gentleman with a secret : He wanted to be catch up with so that he would be killed for his offense and absolve of his coercion to kill . What A - List Hollywood thespian would twist down that kind of a role ?
Prometheus : Grant Morrison ’s “ Anti - Batman ” would call for some ocular reworking to fit into Nolan ’s reading of Batman ’s public , but the basic thought of an “ anti - Batman ” is still a compelling one : A child whose criminal parents were gun down in front of him by cops , leading him to give his lifetime to put down law and order , would make the perfect counterpoint for Christian Bale ’s troubled crimefighter .
Deacon Blackfire : This forgotten 1980s character from The Cult miniseries put up up the probability to take the “ Citizens for Batman ” musical theme from The Dark Knight to its logical conclusion . Blackfire was a preacher who muster the homeless person of Gotham City into an U. S. Army that declared a real war on criminal offence , bringing battue and topsy-turvydom to the streets and pull up stakes Batman in the middle of a difference of opinion where he wanted neither side to gain .
Gorilla Boss : The mind of a mob hirer in the soundbox of a gorilla , this … Okay , I ’m joking . My last pick would be Lex Luthor . Yeah , I know there may be trouble freeing him up from the Superman movies , but Luthor offer not only an intellectual challenge to Batman , but a corporate challenge to Bruce Wayne , if you institute in the LexCorp / LuthorCorp mythology of the eccentric . And in addition , Warners would get to do some of that crosswalk between movies stuff and nonsense that Marvel have push back fans gaga with recently . Where ’s the downside ?
