The Dark Knight

Most likely, Riddler or Mr Freeze will be potential villains for the next film. Joker can still be a potential villain for the next film, as well.

And I've been hearing rumors that the next movie will be called "Shadow of the Bat/" Has anyone else heard these rumors?

Yeah, I noticed that too. But really some of the technology in the movie is pretty unrealistic. That cell phone sonar device? I mean, no way something like that could exist.

Yeah I guess you're right about that. Still it SEEMS plausible but Clayface has always sort of been REALLY off the wall.

Haha, yeah, the same thought came to my mind as well. The concept is quite fascinating, however. It makes you want to believe it's real.
Ah, well, you never know what the future of technology has in store for us.

If They're going to stick to realisim, then Mr. Freeze isn't looking so hot as an appearence. Penguin maybe.

My personal choice though, would have to be Catwoman or the Riddler. If they do catwoman, I hope they do a better job than last time. Cat woman is a proffesional theif that has an affinity for cats, not a horny shut in who thinks she is for cats!

Though, I doubt it happening, Jim Carry should do the Riddler again. Improve on the last incarnation.

Mr. Freeze COULD work. . . it's about as realistic as some of the other stuff. Catwoman would be fine and I wonder what kind of relationship they'll have this time.

I think they'll do several at once.

[Stavros]

Too bad the actor is dead, meaning I probably wouldn't want Joker to come back . . .

The REAL problem with using the characters left is that aside from Catwoman Riddler and Penguin. Not that many people have heard of the rest of the villians.

[All-Star Gamer]

Killer Croc, Clay Face, Poison Ivy, The Ventriloquist. And those are just the ones off the top of my head. There's probably a few more.

Edit: Oh, and the Mad Hatter. And Ra's Al Goul.

Yea, but not a lot of people heard of Ra's Al Ghul and some even thought the Scarecrow was a ripoff of the Joker. Some of the minor characters could do real justice on the big screen. I myself would love if they used the Clock King. He would be an interesting character to put up against Batman.

Well, Scarecrow does start off as a loser-villain but later in the Batman series he becomes rather sadistic. But I would love to see them incorporate the Hangman in the next movie. Just the way he(well, more like she) kill the police officers was just sick in the comic books.

no. the chris nolan series is great, because it deals with realistic enemies and situations. The other Batmans were childish and low-budget. The realistic route is much better. It's darker, and the series shows a good batman fighting class A criminals, not some wuss running around in tights chasing after Robin in his speedo as he fights a fat man who looks like a penguin. The Christian Bale version of Batman is better, because it shows not a superhero that saves the day by fighting Poison Ivy, but an unlikely hero based off of fear and darkness. Batman was supposed to be a dark, sad character, since he was born when Bruce wanted revenge. It was a realistic hero fighting realistic situations. Remember, Bruce said to Harvey that he will never be the symbol of hope that Gotham needs. So he's a hero who is hated by almost everyone, and won't waste his time fighting hacks like Penguin. The Joker was easily made realistic thanks to Ledger, and so was the Scarecrow, but many enemies are stupid. They should make some originals.

Ah, the Hangman. I haven't had the chance to read Dark Victory yet, but what I've heard of erm (thank you for spoiler) is very promising. Yea, they should start using some of the graphic novel characters.

Just because somebody did a kick ass job in a character, doesn't mean Somebody won't come back around and play that same character. Producers and the like will replace the actor at the drop of the hat if an actor can't or won't fill a role for a movie series. True, sometimes the replacement sucks ass, but as long as the Character is alive in the series, they can recast them if they want.

Except Nolan has already said he's not recasting the Joker due to respect for Heath.
Besides, people would bitch how the new actor isn't as good as Heath's so it would be pointless to bring him back.

Since Nolan has already said how he's only using realistic villains and he's already said how the Penguin is too unrealistic...i'd say The Riddler would be the best choice.

Oh did anyone catch it when Bruce and Lucious had that conversation
"Does this suit stop dogs?"
"It'll stop a cat".

Catwoman anyone?
