DISQUS

For the record, I'd be The Ballerina, although I did watch the entire LOTR trilogy (extended edition) without a bathroom break.

Rob Hunter · 1 year ago

@ Cole, peeing in your tutu counts as a bathroom break.

I have always said that Clayface would make an awesome villain... at least after Clayface 2... And Man-Bat was always awesome. Wouldn't work in a world of The Dark Knight, but I'd love to see them done well.

The Calculator, et al... different story. I'll give you those, Fure.

Robert Fure · 1 year ago

Man-Bat and Clayface are awesome and should have a home in some PG-13 cartoons or something. But the Big Screen, its best they stay away from for awhile.

Scanain · 1 year ago

Man Bat would look like Dracula at the end of Val Helsing, be cool for 10 seconds and then get boring!

It's going to take an enormous amount of convincing before I accept that Crazy Quilt is real. No one could possibly invent a villan like that outside of a Will Ferrel movie.

Scarface, Clayface, and the Mad Hatter would all be pretty badass in my opinion.
Especially the Mad Hatter... i mean, it would be so cool if he teamed up with the Riddler or something in the next one. complete and utter chaos.

Having not read any Batman comics, Film Freak sounds pretty neat. :)

I dunno dude, looks like some pretty cool projects to me.

How did you forget Calendar Man?

Tobes · 1 year ago

I disagree with the inclusion of Scarface/Ventriloquist on this list - I think the character could be a great psychological mystery element in a movie (clearly a Nolan fave) and if written properly (keeping with the psyche of the character) could totally be a realistic and formidable enemy in the batman universe.

I thought "Film Freak" was Keith Ledger! (Or was it the other way around?)

Tim · 1 year ago

I was just thinking about the calculator, and then thought about Laos (not sure if thats how his name is spelled), but he kind of seems like, if they were to ever write the Calculator into a movie, a likely candidate. I may be blowing smoke, but he did reassure us every other line that he was good at calculations.

The Calculator has been listed to appear amongst the D-List villains in Supermax/Green Arrow

kaleesh · 1 year ago

The world shall shake before the awesomenss of "The Calculator". He will be joined by "The Thermodynamics Textbook", "The Liquid Paper" and his ladyfriend "The Pink Highlighter"!!!

John · 1 year ago

Mostly right, but I disagree with two of them. Both Scarface/Ventriloquist and Mad Hatter have exactly the right kind of psychosis for Batman movies.

I cannot believe you forgot the magic that was Solomon Grundy !!!!

Pat · 1 year ago

You know, the animated series actually did some funny stuff with Scarface eventually. But yeah, terrible character.

Not all of these (eg, Clayface) are bad characters, but you're right, they wouldn't work in Nolan's films. Though I could see Mad Hatter working with a re-imagining - he might even be better than the Riddler. Or maybe it's just my hatred of Jim Carrey in BF talking.

The clayface episodes of Batman: The Animated Series were some of the BEST EVER

Smoggo · 1 year ago

actually...killer croc appears in the gotham nights DVD....and that is set in the nolanverse....croc is a pretty cool henchman of scarecrow (who i thought would have been a terrible film villian until Batman Begins)

Tom · 1 year ago

What about King Tut from the 1960s series, that guy majorly sucked. Or that guy who used eggs all the time, Eggman? And Mr. Freeze, that guy sucked the most. BANE should be awesome. Also, the villain from the Sword of Azriel, he could be made interesting.

Calculatorrulez · 1 year ago

Calculator gets started in Dark Knight!!
Lau repeatedly said "Im good with calculations."
Now we know whats in store for batman 3! lol

Jeremy · 1 year ago

How can you forget Egghead from the original series? He was just a bald man with a big head!

BeastMaster · 1 year ago

What about Egghead?

Calculator actually had a pretty big part in the Villians United storyline, and he certainly wasn't as lame as he once was.

he also ditched the costume though.

Stevie Goots · 1 year ago

If you only used the original character and barred re-writes then the Joker character would be off-limits, too.

Scott · 1 year ago

Superman should be the next villain in a Batman movie.

What about Luka Magnotta?

Batman Villains · 1 year ago

Well .. Clayface looks cool ... :)

Adam Sweeney · 1 year ago

I agree with F U that Clayface's episodes on the Animated Series were money. But it'd be hard to justify him being more than another Sandman, like Robert said.

Could we get Mark McGwire to play the role of Bane? Have they banned steroids in Hollywood films yet?

TheDarkArts · 1 year ago

I think Killer Croc is in Batman: Gotham Knight Animated Short films DVD set in the the Nolanverse Batman specifically in the time between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Check out the Gotham Knight Official Site. The DVD is out where i live but i didn't buy it yet.

zsasz · 1 year ago

zsasz would be perfect in the new nolan versions, the comic arkham asylum was genius, such a dark and disturbing killer. i believe he did make a slight appearance in begins, but that sucked..not only did he not look even slightly right, but he just wasnt the same twisted, manic murderer.

Batmanblogged.blogspot.com · 1 year ago

I am not sure if this guy makes an appearance in the comics but King Tut from the 60's show would be an awful villain. Frankly, I would like to take any villain from the 60's show and put them in the Nolanverse.

I could just see the Joker, plotting to keep the kids out of school by replacing the milk with coins and money in the vending machine. Thereby making the children think crime is the easy life. (I don't fully understand the logic but this is an episode plot in the first season.) Then I could see Nolan's Dark knight Batman beating this ridiculous Joker senseless...or laughing at him.

Z · 1 year ago

The current incarnation of the calculator would actually be a great fit for the Nolanverse. He's ditched the costume, and works as a pure information broker now--$1000/question.

"If you only used the original character and barred re-writes then the Joker character would be off-limits, too".

I'm not sure I get your entire meaning but I thought Ledger performed wonderfully as the Joker. There were so many references to "The Killing Joke" and "The Long Halloween" that I actually felt it was THE Joker brought to life.

But thats just my opinion. :p

"I VOTE FOR TIA DALMA FOR POISON IVY…SHE IS A GREAT CHARACTER ACTRESS. JUST IMAGINE HER GREAT ACTING WITH HER CHOCOLATE SKIN AND DREADS OR BRAIDS WITH VINE AND FLOWER TATTOOS EVERYWHERE…WITH HER DOUGHY EYES TELLING BATMAN THAT SHE IS SAVING THE EARTH…from people like bruce wayne…. see there is a method to my madness

VOTE TIA DALMA FOR POISON IVY"
(a different blog with good points)

.i totally agre with Naomi Harris as poison ivy.she would be great and it would add diversity. she was scary as hell in pirates and given nolans input she could be great they could change ivy around. and i agree with the tattoes which could symbolize her obsession with plants seeing how in today would people get tattoes for reasons. but these markings could be covered when she is isley. but adding he whole cr8z environment-al chick would fit into nolans world and having giving her poison in which she uses on anyone in the way of her cause would be kick *** if done right. the poison could cause demonic illusions of ilsey being poinson ivy with the whole plant control going on but not really happening. or maybe she could get her plant powers[which i would really hope for] without being silly. but i think Naomi Harris would be great instead of jolie im tires of seeing her.let her raise her kids.

I VOTE NAOMI HARRIS.
anyone who feels the same way. spread the word.
you never know what could happen.

For the third Dark Knight movie, i believe Black Mask/Black Skull should be the new villain to challenge Batman with Harvey Two-Face. He's in the comics as a mob boss with extreme underworld powers, perfect to take over from the Falcone and Maroni families that was taken down by Batman and the authorities in the 'Dark Knight'. He is the prince of the Sironis family who had a grudge on Thomas Wayne before he died. He grew up to be a crime lord and raise the crime problem once again in Gotham. He's slim, tall, wears a pin stripe suit with a black skull mask. Two perfect actors to play his role are Gerard Butler or Vinnie Jones.

NickNine · 1 year ago

Actually the Calculator may have been in the Dark Knight movie but wasnt really a big villain. Notice that the guy from Hong Kong says he is good at calculating. The Joker Thug that Harvey Dent kidnaps also seems like a good Mad Hatter.

"Superman should be the next villain in a Batman movie."

AGREED.

I've heard rumor that Jonny Depp may be the new Riddler... that or my brother was just talking crap.

"Here are some of the worst offenders in Batman’s rogues gallery - all of whom have been judged guilty of being ridiculous. The order is loosely descending, though its hard to sort dog crap into different piles based on beauty."

-- I laughed like a pig on that. Good one.

As for the list, well.... I dunno, Man-Bat and Ventriloquist seems interesting and worthy for a big-screen adaptation but the Man Bat in 'Nolanverse' just doesn't fit. Ventriloquist's a small possibility though... and god all mighty what on earth is The Calculator? What... he ah... he forces you to memorize your tables and takes pop-quizes in random order? And here i thought i was DONE with Maths Syllabus B!!!

@ Tina: Fox in Batman, it'd sure as hell tick off the Transformers fans. But I'd like seeing her anywhere.

Mr. Rev · 1 year ago

Clayface is tight, you must be kidding


YOU KNow who they should have.............Bang....now that fool is sick.....have me terrorize the city because batman is gone and put the gotham police out of work with his mad crazy strength.

Mecha Mummy · 1 year ago

You actually got a picture of the wrong Film Freak. There have been two; Burt Weston who was a complete twit, and Edison, the one pictured, who is actually pretty great. Not someone I'd want to see in a Nolan film any time soon, but there's something truly wonderful about a character who shoots his own *friend* in the face for saying he liked "Easy Rider."

Taiya · 1 year ago

Cant agree with you more on that. the only way the hatter will make it into a movie is if he starts forcing random people to commit suicide or kill. Man bat is off kilter with the nolan version, making him a villain in a fictional comic book in the batman world is more realistic. Never even heard of film freak, sounds like a deranged son of a famous actor. Kid = villain = horrible. agreed there. Clayface does imitate sandman huh? no wonder i dont like him as a villain. The vantriliquest is rather sucky and so is that odd ten eye dude, along side a human calculator. Who is he supposed to scare math-enept school children? as for Bane, his begining is so far fetched from normalicy its sad.

Amol_Ghadi · 1 year ago

I can't see why the studio people can't see that if there is any batvillian as clear as crystal to fit in the Nolaniverse it's BLACK MASK and no other. For me BM counts more than both the Riddler and ofcourse the Penguin who are rumoured to be present in the third Batman of Nolan.

There is no need for us to even prove that BM is realistic. He IS real.
BM is one hell of a vicious criminal/badass and it would be interesting to see him match his wits against Batman who is the greatest Badass of all time and half a criminal himself.

Frankly, Black Mask deserves a movie or TWO of himself ... especially in the Nolan universe. If not in the third then in the Fourth Nolan Batman.

kapitan · 4 months ago

my personnal choices for worst bat villains

maxie zeus - believes he is a greek god. best moment; while escaping arkham during the knightfall mass prison break, he runs into a tree an knocks himself out!

king tut - basically thinks he is the king tut, after being hit in the head... gets better when hit in the head. egyptian rip off of the riddler.

calendar man - likes dates.....

killer moth......

humpty dumpty......

courtney · 2 months ago

i think calander man should of made the list. the ventriloquist was pretty lame until i thought if they ever put him in a film, he'd have some sort of mind control thing to make human puppets, he could enslave the other villains... probably not
