I wish they would keep it exactly like it is a grounded gritty psychological crime thriller but it being Batman and a sequel I wouldn't be surprised is the studio execs want something a lot more flashier. Especially since . I definitely want to see a continuation of the ending

Mike86

I mean I’m glad, but wasn’t it already confirmed that Reeves and Pattinson were both signed for a trilogy? Doesn’t seem like this is really news.

TheMovieman

That's what I thought as well.

Talent has separate contracts. The studio still has to green light the movie.

The Antipodean

I hope they keep it grounded and also really hope the Joker isn’t a villain. There’s still a lot of Batman villains we haven’t yet seen who could be good … Clayface, Mad Hatter, Hugo Strange, Killer Croc, or a decent take on Two-Face…

Keeping with the theme of detective work, I nominate The Eraser.
Real name Lenny Fiasco.
He eliminates all traces of your crime for just 20% commission... before taxes.
Plus he has a personal grudge against fellow classmate Bruce Wayne for stealing his girl.

And my favorite, he has the extra creepy detail of figuring out Bruce Wayne is Batman because he sat next to him class and recognizes him by the smell of his shaving cream.

Ha! They totally should have popped this lunacy in the suicide squad but now that erasure driving a car in a brief shot of Logo Batman makes a lot more sense.

Add Crazy Quilt, Humphry Dumpler and The Monarch of Menace and you've got a party.

Mike86

Keeping with the first movie Hush makes sense. I know also the Court of Owls have been talked about as has a take on Mr. Freeze. If we have to get Joker I hope it’s not until the third film (or later if there are more than three).

I also hope in terms of The Joker that his look is changed from what can be seen in the deleted scene. Just a more basic take would be appreciated instead of having to have him have some weird disfigurement or other look.

I'd go in for Black Mask or Deadshot. And of course I would LOVE an adaptation of the Heat storyline. It involved Batman and Catwoman teaming up to take out a killer of women (a reimagined Catman/Edward Blake), while a heatwave and racial strife agitate the city.

I never dug the Court of Owls, personally. And I feel like they'd be too similar to the conspiracy we got in the first film.

Mike86

I don’t necessarily care about the Court of the Owls storyline being done, but I just know they were talked about as possible villains.

TheMovieman

I do think Mr. Freeze is due for a proper live action adaptation. And seems like Reeves could make him work in this grounded world.

Mike86

My only problem with it is I feel like it’ll just be a killer who’s “cold-hearted” or something and probably very little resembling the actual character or his freeze gun. That’s the drawback to a grounded film.

Artman

Would love a Christmas/Winter setting w Mr. Freeze, a nice contrast to the rain soaked first film. I think you could easily keep the villain's physical appearance, as long as things are presented seriously you can still have the fantasy/comic book elements.

Mike86

There are probably ways it could work. In terms of his look probably do away with the dome and make it so he just has pale skin and wears the red goggles. You could probably also take some cues from Dexter and have him be similar in style to the Ice Truck Killer.

TheMovieman

Given the events at the end of the first film, I assume another character going for a power grab along with the Penguin would be Salvatore Maroni since his conviction will be overturned. So I was thinking, who could play that role. Seems like a good fit for Bryan Cranston.

As the owner of the Eraser’s first appearance, I heartily endorse this proposal.

Batman v Freeze (colors focus more on icy dark color schemes) emphasizes a lot on Mr. Freeze classics red lenses



-Gotham in Summer time

-SAME COWL OR SAME COWL SILHOUETTE from first movie with MINOR upgrades (the cowl could have armor addition for telecoms, detective mode, etc)

-KEEP COLLAR ON THE SUIT!

-A little more Bruce Wayne with 1 or 2 ladies somewhat similar to Batman Begins to give him more playboy but but still nonchalant due to his pain and rage

-Love interest Vicki Vale

-Mr freeze tries to seek revenge on the man that pull funding from his experiment on his wife (from heart of ice story)

-Vale matches DNA to Nora fries so freeze tries to kidnap her (similar to subzero story)

-Freeze gets more pleasure to kill Vale once he realizes Batman takes interest to her

-More intimate conversations and venting between the two reckoned characters about all they’ve lost and their perspectives and outlooks

-Mr freeze sneaks around and pops up at doctors desk, also in another doctors sleep rounding up a few doctors and some henchmen that keep the fur hood jackets similar to animated series

-Mr freeze has “grounded” look by a full face gas mask/helmet type of mechanism that forces Batman to make my minor upgrades to his armor and cowl but still very much resembles the first suit (maybe like a new dark silver armor over the original black or the same black armor over a new gray weatherproofed suit to prevent him from getting sick or harmed from ice)

-Also could be a full round new body suit for Freeze midway through film that makes Batman upgrade as well and don a similar body armor to Tony Stark’s to defeat Freeze

-Freeze’s main weapon is his gun which makes Batman more focused on batarangs and all of his projectiles

-HARVEY DENT DEVELOPMENT STORYLINE THROUGHOUT STORY

-Dent and Wayne are good friends from childhood but got separated earlier on due to parents death and reconnected in the sequel to see another side of Bruce

-Dent goes through tragedy towards the end of the movie to build up for third film

-By the third film Two-face should be the villain paired up with one of the villains: Firefly, Black Mask, Bane?????

Only if Batman defeats him in the end by smashing a can of chicken noodle soup on his helmet.
