Film School Rejects: Who Won’t Be a Villain In Nolan’s Next Batman

  • Adam Sweeney · 1 year ago
    Hopefully, but unlikely, this will put the Two-Face rumor to rest. The character served as the fulcrum for The Dark Knight. Now it's time to move on and continue expanding the universe Nolan has created.

    Haha the main picture brings that banned Zack and Miri poster to mind.

    On the topic though I think he be dead as a dodo. And rightly so for the story.

    Harvey/Two-Face is dead.

    My only diappointment is that he didn't have enough screen time as Two-Face.

    He's dead... at least in the Nolan-verse of Batman flicks. He'll only be alive again when either WB asks that he comes back in a future installment, or a new writer/director comes into the picture. Though I hope that never happens. Dent/Two-Face did his job, did it well, and now it's time to move onto another of the rogues gallery.

    The whole Dent/Two-Face debate is like a slasher picture. Speculation will always be there because we never really saw a dead body from what I recall (just a funeral and a casket). So if there's need to resurrect the character, I'm sure the writers can come up with one.

    It seems they will now have to create a new villian since most of the comic book versions do not fit into the films true to life concept.

    I have to agree with everyone so far, Two-Face is dead and the film makers should move on. I was disappointed by the lack of Two-Face's on screen time, but really that would have taken away from the amazing performance by Ledger.

    I'm curious who they will bring into the fold for the next installment of the franchise, I hear maybe The Riddler, but who knows. I just hope they never bring in the boy-blunder Robin.

    Two-Face I think it is good not to bring him. Riddler would be a good add to the 3rd movie. Ppl talking about Cher as a catwoman is just stupid!! As much I would like to see her do her 'Moonstruck' performance I don't think I would imagine Selina Kyle with a 'New Yorkan' woman accent ("FORGET ABOUT IT!!"). LOL! Since Batman is a crime fugitive, it would be nice to have aomeone wants his head on a plate as well as bringing him to justice for a bounty. Well see what Nolan can spin.

    TWO-FACE, for me, is not much of a rogue villain but a beautiful interesting character I like to sympathise with for all the tragedies he had to undergo in his life. And he reacted very badly to the tragedies in his life unlike Wayne/Batman who also suffered severe traumas in life. But then that's the major difference between the two. Yes, I also think, however more interesting Two-face could have been and however more his character with extreme personalities could have been expanded, he still had to be sacrificed to accommodate The Joker and to convert Batman, the hero into a fugitive, the hero people misunderstood.

    Apparently the story goes that the script for Dark Knight specifically says Dent is dead. Where I read that, I don't remember, so it's not really credible. It makes sense to kill him. It also makes sense to have him not dead, but not returning in the third movie, but maybe in the fourth or something along those lines.

    The more I think about it, the more the Riddler could potentially be a great villain. I know the idea of a criminal / bank robber giving clues about his next crime is retarded, but at the same time, if Nolan rewrites him as a serial killer it would make perfect sense.

    Often serial killers with send letters to media/police about crimes they have commited or are going to commit and include riddles or, like the Zodiak, codes and ciphers. In that sense, the Riddler could be absolutely perfect. It fits into Nolan's more 'realistic' vision of the Batman universe, and all.

    Other than the previous incarnations of Riddler sort of standing in the way of the character, I think the main problem in my mind is that he's too much of 'the next logical choice' type of character, if that makes any sense?

    I always wanted Robin to turn evil and go after Batman ala Syndrome from the Incredibles. I think then Robin would be a great choice, but it wouldn't work unless the next film takes place many years later for the whole Robin back story to workout. Think about it you could have Batman's former sidekick chasing him down and the public praising him for it.

    Gordon covered Harvey in almost every way, and Batman took the rap. Harvey fell, and no one said he was dead, all you saw was a press conference, not a funeral. And Dents fall in comparison with Maroni's was not life threatening. They left it hanging wide open on purposely, and intelligently, so when the time comes to do thd 3rd movie, they could include him or finalize his death in TDK by not including him. So yeah, the bottom line is waiting till 2011 to find out.

    Just prosthetic with him looking like a skull in the same way Aaron Eckhart's face was peeled off.
  • Gramscist · 11 months ago
    Which reminds me. He has the right to be Bane, if he is as cocky as Riddick.
  • Gramscist · 11 months ago
    What, bring in Jason Todd first? That is unpopular, but might work for a tragedy.
