Nolan Puts Official Title on Third Batman Flick

[qbanknight]

I dig the title, still betting on Zsasz, Hush, or Hugo Strange to be the villain. Maybe a little Catwoman thrown in for good measure

 

[TimeLord]

I want Mr Freeze as a villain.

And I want him to be played by Schwarzenegger!

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Harley Quinn looking for vengeance?

That would actually be pretty cool. Say Harley was a mental patient who was working for the Joker and wants to continue his legacy. Or like they said in Arkham Asylum, that she was The Joker's therapist who fell in love with him. There's a myriad of ways Nolan could work Harley Quinn into the story.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Catwoman would be cool. No Joker probably means no Harleen Quinzel, though ten to one says Crane shows up again. Zasz is a possible minor villain, and Clayface seems a bit too soft-science for the series, but I'm kind of hoping for Killer Croc or Bane. And it's not like The Riddler can't show up, seeing as we are talking about Hollywood, here, the place that will flat out tell us they aren't doing something only to announce just that a few ticks later, as if we are children asking about our Xmas presents.

Maybe Batman becomes an alcoholic and he has to battle himself and his inner demons

Iron Man syndrome?

 

[JaymesFogarty]

Not a bad name. Of course, not great either. I understand what the effect is; it just feels a little lazy that he added one word to The Dark Knight.
We've had so far:
Batman Begins
Batman; The Dark Knight
Why not have something like:
Batman: Ascension

Actually, that sounds pretty good. (I'm coining it! Ha, now no one in the world can say ascension without being fined by me! I truly have the edge over everyone!

 

[Joel Pennie]

The penguin never seemed to be terribly menacing in the comics I read. More of an eccentric arms dealer than super villain. Sort of like Quark on Deep Space Nine, but without the bar.

What about Poison Ivy? or Bane? While the Clooney movie ruined all of those characters, in the comics they were pretty cool. Bane, for example, wasn't the mindless hulk he was in the Clooney movie.

 

[Ne1butme]

I was hoping for a better title. Something like the "the caped crusade". Basically, a variation of one of Batman's nicknames, as opposed to reusing an existing title. Dark Knight Rises is barely better than Batman Returns.

 

[SmokingMirrors]

Eh, my problem with the Nolan series of Batman films is that they'd seem a bit too grounded in the "real" which somewhat shrinks the list of villains from the dozens available to those that could fit (if somewhat loosely) in the real world.

Which also means my favorite; Killer Croc, will not be showing up, ever.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Twoface, clearly. The setup for his appearance was so blatantly obvious in Dark Knight, that i'm surprised there is such speculation at all. It also fits with the claim, that some characters will return.

...Except that he's dead?

 

[Knoxy]

As for Catwoman it would be cool if we were to get introduced to Selina Kyle as a love interest, and at the end find out she has been running a double life to bring up in the next movie.

Except this is Nolan's last Batman movie for the foreseeable future so I can't imagine he'll leave plot threads just dangling there at the end of the film, or do you suppose he'll leave a legacy for whatever director Legendary/WB drafts in to milk the franchise?

 

[lulu_560]

Well Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are friends of a sort..some of the time, but it would be interesting to see the Penguin, Bane, Mad Hatter in action.
Bat Woman could be on the scene but probably not

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Calendar manI'm calling it!

 

[zxBARRICADExz]

I want Mr Freeze as a villain.

And I want him to be played by Schwarzenegger!

EVERYBODY CHEELL!!

 

[psychowatcher]

I'm hoping for the Mad Hatter. Haven't seen him in a while and he's a man with an obsession for Alice in Wonderland (a book that can and has been twisted and turned into something very dark that would fit in the world of Batman) and access to mind control devices.

Part of me is kinda hoping for a halfway decent female character. Harley and/or Ivy would be nice.

 

[mjc0961]

The Dark Night not being an hour or so of boring ass backstory with almost no Batman action is what put it above Batman Begins for me. Batman Begins was just boring rubbish and I want the time of my life I wasted watching it back.

Hopefully this new one will continue being awesome like The Dark Night was, and not boring like Batman Begins was.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I expect Hush, Bane, or maybe even Black Mask.

My money is on Bane.

I heard Tom Hardy will be in this new Batman movie and if you've seen him in the movie Bronson you'll know he can play the perfect psychotic juggernaught.

 

[Aulleas123]

DiCaprio could be Hush, that could make a good flick. Also we could see Talia Al Ghul as an antagonist and love interest. I'm a little relieved that they won't bring in the Riddler, not that I don't love a character who is a genious dressed in green tights, I just don't see how it would work in the Nolan Gotham City.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

I'm thinking Bane. He's the original "Anti Batman" and is still known as the one man to break the Bat.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

In that case, I'm guessing Red Hood and Black Mask.

 

[mexicola]

Let's hope the new main villain is The Ventriloquist and the final battle is him and Batman throwing insults at each other over a mic while playing WoW.
