I'm still hoping for Hush.

I say Lord of the Rings goes up there in the best trilogy categories.

And I think that Harley Quinn would be the logical choice.... Although, she would have had to have been mentored by the Joker and that never happened in the movies.

Could also be Ras Al Guls daughter... that has been speculated.

I am guess scare crow might make an appearance at least.

I thought Scarecrow had his mask ripped off and was given a taste of his own medicine, and is now crazy and delusional??? Am I mistaken on that???


Harley Quinn didn't necessarily have to be mentored in the movie, just because we didn't see it, doesn't mean that her and the Joker were not together... Maybe he kept her in the shadows on purpose... They could do a back flash of sorts and show them together during the The Dark Knight... Like maybe after the Joker sets the money on fire and has the Russian guy dragged out, the scene cuts with the Joker pulling out a phone, well they could continue that and have her come walking out of the shadows and they could have a conversation and they could do that with several different scenes...

They'd have to keep it low key, since they can't get Ledger to do the Joker of course... So they wouldn't want it to look too off base from the original movie... But it could be done...

I will bet you any body part you desire, including my soul, that it will not go down like Baf just described.

Sorry Baf, but you just described appallingly poor directing. The kind I wouldn't expect from anyone save, perhaps, Uwe Boll.

Speaking of Uwe Boll, if he ever challenged me to a boxing match, I'd bring a gun in the ring and put both him and us out of our collective miseries. If Sergio Leone was Mozart, Uwe Boll is ten thousand tons worth of pots and pans tumbling down a steep, rocky decline.

Back on topic, the only villains that were both major and both not too sci-fi for this more realistic re-envisioning were Catwoman and the Riddler. And the latter's been struck off the list. That leaves us with one new female character and one villain lacking - as it's been the norm to have two villains in every film, one major, one minor. Ra's Al'Ghul was pulling Scarecrow's strings in the first one, and the Joker not only pulled Two-Face's strings, he tied knots on them.

Following this formula, who could pull Catwoman's strings? As the character itself dictates, she's not the main villain.

I reckon Hugo Strange could do it, but I hope not. I find him to be a bit boring. A villain I'd love to see at least cameo-ish would have to be the Ventriloquist. Hush is a master manipulator, as is the Penguin. However, the Penguin, like the Riddler and Mr. Freeze, have been removed from the list of suspects.

Speculating is still fun, though.

It was just a rough outline, no need to bring Uwe Boll into this...


Who knows what will be done... I have a feeling that it isn't going to be Catwoman, simply because she is too obvious a choice and something tells me that they aren't going to go with the obvious...

To quote Nolan, I believe he said we would be seeing some "New Characters"... So he might very well invent his own villain...

Catwoman could be good. I just hope there's no Robin.

So I'm guessing No Robin...
