Alright people. If you had a chance to be in Chris Nolan's "Batman 3" screenwriting meeting--which villain/villains do you want to see in the 3rd film? If you can even make a casting suggestion--go for it.
I want
Bob Hoskins as The Penguin (he sold me on the idea of being awesome as Oswald with his role in Hollywoodland. The entire time I watched that film, I kept thinking what a truly great Penguin Hoskins would make. I can easily see him as more of a mobster type Penguin that is more in line with the comics than the Burton/Devito version).
Angelina Jolie as The Catwoman. I've seen other suggestions, but Jolie would make a great contemporary for Bale. And I can easily see her as his equal, unlike other names I can mention that can come close, but not in the same way as Jolie could. Course, that's just me.
To the Batman "scholars" on this site--which villains from his "canon" which haven't been brought to screen could they look at?
Clayface is one.
Although with him .... I would wager more than likely that Nolan would go with the original Bob Kane/Bill Finger Clayface where he was a psychotic killer who wore a mask made out of clay, rather than the decidedly more fantastical version everyone is more familiar with that shapeshifts.
The Mad Hatter
Theres a number of ways Nolan could interpret him into something more workable for his Batman Universe, but I really consider him something of a B-Grade kinda villain. Certainly not one that could carry an entire film. Especially following Ledger's Joker.
Scarface & The Ventriloquist
Kinda the same as above. Could be cool, and workable. But not a character I would consider a contender for being a main villain for an upcoming Batman film. Unless of course, we are talking about a role similar to The Scarecrow's in
Batman Begins. Then Mad Hatter, and Scarface could really work in that type of role.
Killer Croc
I can see this one working well, but wonder if his role in
Batman: Gotham Knight would have any affect, if any, on him appearing in a future live action Nolan Batman film.
Black Mask
He was recently murdered in the comics, but he's certainly a villain I can see as a major contender in being perhaps a main villain for a Batman film.
Hush
Not a big Hush fan, but maybe. Doubt it.
Man-Bat
Could possibly be something special.
