Suggestions for new villains in the sequel?


I know Matt Reeves wanted to use Mr. Freeze.

reply

Killer Croc, Calender Man, or Firefly.

reply

I think Firefly is already in Batgirl.

reply

oh well Professor Pyg would be cool.

reply

Honestly he'd fit right in this universe Reeves created. Maybe like a torture specialist for Penguin.

reply

Firefly could work

Mad Hatter, Calendar Man or Mr Freeze.

I think Matt Reeves already confirmed he wants to use Mr. Freeze. Curious to see what his interpretation is.

BOOKWORM

If they can get Dennis Reynolds back to do the job as well as he did in Gotham I'd be happy with that.

reply

The Joker of course!

reply

I don't mind them acknowledging that he exists in this universe. But I want to see other villains used.

reply

I think it’s obvious the Penguin is going to play a bigger role in the sequel than he did in the first one, as for other villains I am still going with The Black Mask or The Mad Hatter.

reply

Penguin is a good side villain, he is not a good main villain. Black Mask would be good if done right. I think a sequel would work better if they introduced a villain that is more unrealistic like Freeze or Croc, because forcing all of Batman's villains to be gangsters or disfigured people wont work for long.

reply

True, but they could still make an unrealistic villain realistic. I mean hell, Nolan took the Lazarus Pit, one of the most ridiculous concepts from the comics and not only made it realistic but made it deeply symbolic and all around awesome.

Zaslav better not cancel this fucking movie.

reply

I initially read that as Zsasz and was very confused for a minute.

Clayface

That'd be great but not sure how fantastical Matt Reeves wants to go in this universe.
