Hush [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Hush]. He's a great character for Batman, but seeing as he would have had to been worked in Batman Begins I guess he wouldn't be a good choice. Hugo Strange [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Professor_Hugo_Strange] would have been interesting, or if Nolan wanted to do interesting shifts of reality in a pseudo mode of Inception he could have used The Mad Hatter [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mad_Hatter]. Personally I don't think Deadshot or Zasz would have really worked well, but that's just me.Cheesebob said:What other A list non-ridiculous Batman villians could you have instead of 'Bane' though?
You seem to misunderstand me. I mean Spider-Man as in Spider-Man, the film. Not The Amazing Spider-Man, which is a different film. It's okay. It's an easy mistake to make. Except one proves my point and the other exasperates it...Soviet Heavy said:http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/6003-Untangling-Spider-ManAndy of Comix Inc said:Would you ever compare Begins to Spider-Man?
Black Mask could work, or a Red Hood character. Riddler was the obvious choice that I still think would of been interesting to go with. The Penguin as more of a concept than the cartoon version.Cheesebob said:What other A list non-ridiculous Batman villians could you have instead of 'Bane' though?

Now since Bane "may have or have not" have had connections with the League of Assassins from the first movie, why not ditch Band and go for Talia al Ghul instead? Shit, she was a serious pain in both Batman and Bruce Wayne's life for a while there. Maybe she would have fared better as a central villain, or as a secondary like Two Face was in The Dark Knight.
Hey Bob, if you read this, can I get your thoughts on it?
Ra's al Ghul. It's a weird name.The Last Nomad said:I heard that Robin Williams was in consideration for the role of Hugo Strange early on in production.
And instead of Talia al Ghul, they should have brought back Raas al Ghul(is that how it's spelt?) like there was rumours about for so long, he's immortal in the comics anyway. But maybe that was a bit far-fetched to the Nolan films, and it would have tied the film to Batman Begins instead of being the stand alone film that it is.
[alot of speculation in this post as I haven't seen the film, maybe Raas is in it, Bob did mention special Cameos did he not?]
The problem is that after the performance that Ledger gave as Joker - the most iconic of the Batman villains - NOTHING they did could possibly stand up to The Dark Knight.GrimTuesday said:Fucking called it. I and have been saying for a long time that its going to be a disappointment that doesn't live up to the previous two movies. I figured it would be good, jut not a satisfactory conclusion to the trilogy.
Aye, Ra's. I could have looked it up I suppose. I remember seeing rumors about something that resembled the Lazarus pit(s) was seen on the set. Or to be more precise, a pit with a large green covering, which could have been used as a green screen to add cool effects, and I assume a Lazarus Pit would look fairly fucking strange.Frank_Sinatra_ said:Ra's al Ghul.

He actually isn't "immortal." He has to be put in a Lazarus Pit to be brought back to life and when someone does that to you, you lose more and more of your mind. Plus this Ra's was in more of an Asian area where the Ra's from the comics is from the Middle East where most of the pits are located.
I don't want to spoil for you with your speculation, so keep speculating.
