The Riddler could have been fantastic in Nolan's world... but if not him, then yes, Catwoman.

"Nolan has been intent on keeping his Gotham City film firmly rooted in a gritty gangland realism"-ohbfrank-

Please. :lol:


There was nothing gritty, nor realistic about Nolan's gangland in TDK. His attempts at "gangland realism" :rolleyes: were the most hackneyed, cliched, ridiculously heavy handed misplayed sequences in the film.

lol, best quote ever

Agreed. Catwoman could work in Nolan's universe if done right.

I will be shocked if Killer Croc is one of the villains

While that thought does get blood flowing from my brain into other parts of my body, I think she would be better for Talia, if they want to use the actress or character.

If they go with Catwoman, we know Kate Beckinsale fills a tight leather outfit rather well. ;)

Which movie is coming out first - Spiderman 4 or Batman 3?

Is it in the studios interest to have similar villains - Lizard and Killer Croc - in order to compete against each other (The Core versus Armagdeddon...Volcano versus Dante's Peak, for examples)?

I don't get why people keep bringing up Killer Croc. Of all the villains left to use I just can't realistically see him being a choice Nolan would make at all.

Because once a few fanboys start to nerdgasm over a villain it spirals out of control.

See: The Riddler.

True...BUT...

The Riddler isn't far fetched that it would be weird to insert into the Nolan Batman world. Croc is too far fetched.

Agreed, but aside from the necessary use of The Joker (being the #1 villain and all), I tend to think Nolan will keep any previously-used villains out of his canon. He doesn't strike me as someone who likes to tread over worn ground.

Two-face says "Hi".

I would imagine that Nolan would use whatever villain he felt helped tell the best story, regardless of whether it had been used in a previous movie.

Well, he did use Two-Face, whom has been on trodden ground, albeit not good. That said, I think Two-Face is the most out there villain we're likely to see. The only way Croc could appear as he does in the comics is if some big regular guy makes a cameo bearing his name, Scarecrow sprays somebody with his fear toxin, and we see him as a hallucination deal.

Derrrr, forgot about Two-Face. Regardless, I think Nolan will use someone we haven't seen before.

Unless some guy named Croc is human and has some fucked up skin via realistic terms and is a tough fucker will it happen. I can't see Croc in other form EXCEPT for that kind of extreme and that's still kinda keeping in tune w/ the comics.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 
Even if for some strange reason they were considering using him I really hope they don't. I always thought he was one of the weaker villains in Batman's rogues gallery.
