If that's the case he could be Killer Croc?Casual Shinji said:My money is on Bane.UltimatheChosen said:
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.
Alright so Penguin, Joker, Mr. Freeze, and Riddler are all out. I'm guessing that Harley Quinn is also out given Joker status. So who's left? Killer Croc? Bane? Poison Ivy? I wanna know damn it.
I want a girl baddie. Don't care who it is.
Preferably Cat Woman just because she is the most iconic, but Harlequin or Poison Ivy would be good too.

Yeah, Old school bane was awsome. He was already a strong guy BEFORE the using the venom. He was also quite smart as well. Considering how Zasz was used to help break batmant as well (Bane arranged to have him put in the middle elementry school or something), and what one person stated about using several minor villians and showing on how it has an impact on batman, this could be done very well.TsunamiWombat said:
**Note: Bane might have used other villians in addition to Zasz to 'break' him. I dont remember what happened in that arc too well, as Ive only managed to read a few of the copies my father has. Batman Vs Predator = awsome. Too bad hes missing the last issue of the first one, and the last two of the second.**
Well, two of the most psychologically intriguing villians from Batmans rogues gallery were in The Dark Knight, and we can be positively sure they won't make an appearance anymore.
With the Riddler, the Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul and the Pinguin ruled out, the most interesting ones would be either Bane or Catwoman (but they would need one hell of a good script/actress to get her to be equally awesome as Ledger's Joker), so I'm guessing Bane. And not the one from the previous series of films, but the one of the comics. The one that's both genius and strong enough to snap Batman in two like an old straw. But I have a slight feeling that won't be happening, since Bane is mostly a physical threat to Bats (he actually broke his spine in the comics), and the Joker/Scarecrow/Ra's/Two-Face have all been mostly psychological adversaries. I know Batman has a ton of other enemies to choose from, but many of them actually have superpowers or some gross, unnatural anomaly, and the serum Bane uses to get so insanely strong is the closest thing to remotely scientifically explainable, like pretty much everything in Nolan's Batman-series has been so far.
Anyway, I'm most eager to find out and I'm sure Nolan won't disappoint us

I think they should try the whole "Batman vs. Bane vs. Azrael" story, Batman, mentally broken after Dent, the Joker, and Rachel dying, succumbs to Bane, passes the mantle, and takes it back
If they keep their toes on the Tim Sale/Jeff Loeb run The Long Halloween -> Dark Victory I'd say Catwoman... and some other villian... maybe even the Calendar Man?
BTW, The Long Halloween and Dark Victory are EXCELLENT books, if you want to see where they drew a lot of the themes and arcs in The Dark Knight you should give them a try.

It would the right time for Catwoman to appear given that Bruce Wayne is now looking for love.
And if she's hot then the title 'The Dark Knight Rises' makes perfect sense.

This could easily work into the new movie in a way that Nolan won't have to worry about bringing Joker back. They could have that Joker truly is dead, and that Harley wants to avenge Joker's death, while at the same time, she falls for Bruce Wayne. I unno, it's a part of the plot I'd like to see.JUMBO PALACE said:
Riddler would have been a perfect villain, though. Have him be like a trivia show host who lost his job over the Joker crisis, and is now looking to get back at Batman/Gotham City over the loss of his job. It would have fit perfectly with Nolan's realism, at any rate.
She should be interesting, it's just that her story hasn't been told very well in previous movies. Selena Kyle should be the survivor of a rough childhood growing up on the streets, now a social worker running a non-profit and a community center in the worst part of Gotham. She runs into Bruce Wayne at a charity function where they talk about the mysterious anonymous donor that knocked Wayne out of the #1 donor spot. The donor is, of course, Selena herself who is becoming an infamous cat burglar, stealing from mob bosses and hedge fund managers to fund her own charity. She sees it as justice.ShadowsofHope said:
I would like to see the Black Mask as the villain in Rises, and the script to interpret the story line from the comics where Cat Woman kills him.
Yyeeeessss. Seriously if I was a billionaire dark-gritty-angst director, that is exactly the kind of shit I would pull in the last film of the series, and fly off cackling into the night.thenumberthirteen said:
Hasn't yet and never will according to Word of God. Probably for the best.Zeromaeus said:
Although now that I'm thinking it, I was struck in TDK with how insidiously they downplayed Barbara Gordon's existence. Like, she was there, but she wasn't really there and the breezeover seemed rather intentional, so maybe she'll play a role? Likely a small one, but it could be neat to see hints at the "Bat-family" that got so foofy in the animated.
Although this is Gritty Reboot Land, and so Batman must never ever be happy.
For those keeping the score of who it WON'T be, it won't be (as some have suggested) Mr Zsasz - because he was already in Batman Begins. Go back and watch it if you like.
And it won't be Two Face, because Two Face is dead. Batman breaking his "one rule" is a very significant thematic point in The Dark Knight - indeed, it's what makes him a "Dark Knight" rather than a conventional hero - and if Two Face is not dead, then Batman never broke his "one rule". This stuff was talked about at length in the film's closing monologue and throughout the film, it's quite disturbing how much this seems to have sailed over people's heads.
