I like that you had to skip the 1995 & 1997 Schumacher films.
The year is 1995. I am watching a brighter, nipplier Batman movie with a new take on a villain.
The year is 1997. I am watching a montage of crotches and butts.
Brighter and pointier
Those aren’t real, they can’t hurt me.
Oh you mean the best ones?
I would honestly exclude Dark Knight Rises, it wasn’t really darker than the preceding, and I don’t think they did a particularly new take on bane.
The new take on Bane: “What if he had a silly voice?”
Condement man and calendar man confirmed
The I.R.S
Not that many choices left if they are new screen villains.
- Hush
- Hugo Strange
- Mad Hatter
- Manbat
- Ventriloquist
- Professor Pyg
Some I could think of:
Killer Croc - Probably not a good choice, would need to be working with someone
Clock King - Could be a good villain and fairly open ended character meaning the movie could do what they want with him
Court of Owls - Not sure good as a second movie villain, but could be interesting later on. Would actually be amazing if they built up a series of movies with them pulling all the strings throughout.
Calendarman - Given the more noir style of the last movie, he could be an interesting one, but would probably feel too similar to the Riddler.
We’ve seen Killer Croc though, in Suicide Squad.
Court of owls seems like something build to.
They could go for one of the really unpopular villains that no one remembers. People like Calendar man or Orca
Wasn’t calendar man in one of the arkham games? That’d actually be a decent choice since people will at least be a little familiar with him.
I would bet on Hugo Strange.
From the article,
will focus more on the character of Bruce Wayne
and Huge figures out who Batman is, so this will require more focus on who is Bruce Wayne.
Also he’s only been done on TV (in Gotham), hence the new to film comment.
Plus he fits the grounded universe that’s been established.
Strange was also the big baddie in Arkham City, but thats also not film
Nah Crazy Quilt FTW
What about Kite Man and his redemption arc?
Knowing the tone and world of The Batman, and what’s been done elsewhere, I’m guessing something like the Hush, Hugo Strange, Professor Pig… maaaaybe some a little wackier but with a more serious coat of paint on it or Scarface/The Ventriloquist. But I would love to see them do a truly sinister version of a sillier character, like Calendar Man, or Mad Hatter. If they decide to work in meta humans, Clayface could drive a really good villain arc too. Or Azrael.
Almost all of these have been done before in B:tAS, and done well. Whether or not the primary audience was intended to be children, there was some really solid characterization in that show.
He did say in film though. I’m assuming we’re not counting animated series. Almost all of his rogue have been in at least one show
CLAYFACE
do it. do it justice. CG is there.
…that is interesting… uhhhh… huh.
so I love the character I just don’t see it as a standalone film w/o bats… but interesting…
Spider-Man new Batman villain confirmed.
I would watch this so hard. I would see it multiple times in theaters just to make a point. Copyright law was a mistake. Why won’t the world let this happen!
