Mr. Freeze or Bane would be outstanding.

For the Riddler I nominate Rowan Atkinson.

Oh, dear lord, that's a set up for the finest movie ever.

I havn't seen any of the "new" batman movies.. but as much as I want to see Ivy, they seem to be more "realistic", so could they work her in?

They could do hatter. Mad Hatter turned into an interesting charactor in the second Secret Six series. Actualy, that thing mad Catman a better Batman than Batman. I think they had to limited series of that and they were in Birds of Prey. Catman is bad ass.

Black Mask is more of a Catwoman villian, right?

I think they should have a brusier in the next one. A smarter person doesn't have to be controling him. It could be that Batman has to deal with both of them unrealted and it's wearing him down. I think Croc would be cool.

I could see them doing Clayface. It would look cool with todays specail effects.

Did anybody mention Man-Bat? They could to Man-Bat.

I think that Zannaz guy or whatever (someone mentioned him) is dead, but he's pretty realistic. He's just like a 4th stringer so they probably woulnd't use him..

You didn't see that really gay one with Val Kilmer I think? It was... maybe Riddler + Mr. Freeze. They completely sucked. The only thing good about that movie were the Burger King collector glasses they made for it.

The double villan formula is really way harder to pull off than the single villian unless the movie is seriously just and eye-popping special effects flick with one fight after another ... which in the case of a sacred icon like Batman, would just cost WAY too much to make... The only reason two villians worked nicely in Batman 2 was that the motives both Catwoman/Selina and Penguin/Cobblepot were clouded with moral ambiguities for much of the movie, while the real "bad guy" was a non-franchise "business type".

Maybe a movie with just the Riddler could be done propperly, but you'd have to really give him a lot of backstory. I think George Clooney should be cast as Riddler. He could bring the gravity to the role that could protray the Riddler as someone like John Nash who is into solving riddles and cryptography, and is a serious genious, but goes off the deep end with conspiratorial theories and stuff, and all the crimes and terrorism he commits he thinks is "for the good" so he leaves the riddles not to be a smart ass in green pagamas with freakin' questionmarks all over them, but because he has to make contact with people to join him, but he can't do it in the open because "they are listening".

Good or what?

To be honest I don't like the idea of George Clooney as the Riddler even if he was arranged in the way you mentioned. I can't really explain why not, it just doesn't seem to fit.

Yes!
Also, why all the votes for the Riddler? What's going on there?
Also, I vote they don't keep killing off villians.... it's sad somehow...

Yup, it kind of hurts that persistent feeling. One of the best parts of the movie, in my nerdly opinion, was the brief appearance of Scarecrow early on. It really helped bring me back into the Gotham "world", and felt a lot like a comic.

Well, note that the Joker didn't really die... it appeared like he was going to be captured. Only two-face died, and that was integral to the themes of the movie.

True but Two-Face had always been my 2nd favorite Batman character (only beaten out by the Joker) so I was still pissed when he died.

I'd rather not seeing him in another Batman movie after his performance in Batman and Robin. He should stick to those stupid ER sitcoms.

As for the Riddler, I never felt he had any substance or background story to him to make him interesting. He was just a guy with a question mark on his shirt who left riddles at his crime scenes. He's too similar to the Joker as well. What is the point in having another super intelligent psychopathic personality in the next movie? There's gotta be someone better.
