[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 4390806, member: 4090"] That seems to be some kind of idiosyncrasy of Nestor Carbonell's. It's bugged me ever since he started to be a recurring character on LOST. As for the idea of Mr. Freeze being a villain in the next movie, I think it's probably unlikely. His abilities/powers seem too far removed from the Crime Noir/gritty "reality" feel that Nolan is going for with his Batman movies, and I believe he's gone on record as saying "no powers" at one point. I think a Catwoman could work, especially if you go with the vigilante take on her (as opposed to the cat burglar take); there could be parallels with Batman's own vigilantism, but pit his morality against her own looser code of conduct. Plus, there's the tension of a romantic angle that otherwise wouldn't be there if they went with contrasting vigilantes (like with, say, a Robin character- playing up the angle of Batman copycats introduced in this one.) I don't think she would be a good enough "villain" on her own though; maybe a Rupert Thorne character comes to finally unify the mob in Falcone's wake, and they bring in Deadshot to take down Batsy. Another character I think could really work well in Nolan's vision would be Hugo Strange- if you do a riff on the "Strange Apparitions" story by Englehart. He discovers Bats' identity but won't reveal it to the mob; Thorne has him killed, but he manages to survive, and then decides to take on the Batman's identity for himself. [/QUOTE]
