[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 4448547, member: 871"] [b][PLAIN]My opinion [Dark Knight SPOILERS ahead][/PLAIN][/b] Well, IIRC, Nolan specifically mentioned in an interview that he'd stay away from the more sci-fi villains of Batman's gallery (ala Mr. Freeze, Clayface, & the like)—not sure if the poison-immune Poison Ivy would work in that regard (can't recall where; sorry—I'd provide a link if I could recall the source). I'm guessing that the Riddler would be the next villain, because: [LIST] [*]He's one of Batman's big-name villains; [*]He's obviously not a sci-fi based villain; [*]His sort of crime wave would allow Batman to show off his intellect & detective skills (even moreso than in [I]The Dark Knight[/I]); and [*]His schtick could easily blend into a bigger theme that is present throughout the movie (ala the "fear" theme of the 1st film and the "choice; good/evil or order/chaos" theme of the 2nd film). Perhaps something like [I]power & responsibility[/I] (Batman using his talents for good, while Riddler uses his talents for crime), the [I]thrill of the challenge[/I], [I]identity[/I] (Batman trying to deduce Riddler's identity while the police are trying to deduce his), or the like. [/LIST] The last point could easily apply to Catwoman as well. Then again, I could be way off-base with this (I was with Dark Knight—I thought the big theme of that was going to be [I]sanity[/I], given the 2 villains involved). I have strong doubts about [I]Penguin[/I] (he seems like he'd be a background character criminal in Nolan's style of films, like the Chechen or Sal Maroni in [I]The Dark Knight[/I]). Maybe [I]Black Mask[/I] (who Nolan has hinted at before). [I]Talia al Ghul[/I] could be a possibility, and it'd tie it to the first movie as well. [I]Deadshot[/I] (as an assassin) or [I]Firefly[/I] (as an arsonist) may be a possibility as well. Catman, Killer Moth, and other anti-Batman sorts seem a bit unlikely. [/QUOTE]
