Off THEIR Mind: Comic Creators On Who the Next Bat-Villain Should Be

Rather someone Iconic why not ether have a completely new villian (got an idea for that) or bring back the Monk?

I think it should be Hush for the simple reason that he can torture bruce on various levels and match him in intellect and some what hand to hand combat.

I would love to see the Riddler in Batman 3, but I think  that the Nolans and David Goyer should use a new villian never seen before in the films. Black Mask or Hush would make an excellent new main villian, both have a history with Bruce Wayne as childhood friends, I think they should bring in Catwoman to have some sort of relationship with Bruce/Batman. Bane and Manbat could be good for minor villians, Bane could be hired from Black Mask or Hush to kill Bruce Wayne but instead fights off against Batman, or ManBat could try and frame Batman as he terrorizes Gotham. 

Catwoman- A must 
Black Mask or Hush- Main villian 
Bane or Manbat- Minor villian 
Riddler- My favorite villian after the Joker, but idk to obvious, he could make a cameo apperance or something.

it should be either black mask or the riddler

  If they did poison ivy i think they should make her like a beautiful, plant loving, sweet girl and also a sexy, violent, destructive girl kinda like two-face in some sense. Instead of what they did in Batman and Robin or whatever movie she was in; she should make like huge gigantic plants to kill and destroy; they should be as tall as the buildings of Gotham. And her appearence (im not just saying this because i am a guy) but she should have like dark hair with a green tint with dark lips and not red, and she should be naked wrapped in vines unlike the green suit thing Uma Thurman wore        

Catwoman or Bane. Why is everbody saying Bane should work for someone? He didn't work for anybody in Knightfall and he did "break" the bat. It would be a perfect match for the third movie. Although I probably wouldn't like it since I didn't care for the first of Nolan's 2 movies.

" I actually think Jimmy Palmiotti's idea is pretty awesome.  Maybe not for the movie, but I would definitely pick it up if it was a comic. "

Clayface and Bane 
 
Clayface is a former actor who has the power to shapeshift... It would definately make things difficult for the world's greatest detective..especially if he becomes you. 
 
Bane is the man who broke the bat...need I say more    

Personally, I think Nolan is going in a great direction so far with the series, I believe that Hush would be a great villain to have, Nolan stated he wanted to do villains that have never been done on film, and since Hush is relatively new, he would make a great villain, with Batman on the run and his reputation ruined, this would be the perfect time for Hush to strike and push Batman farther than the Joker ever did, and intro Jason Todd and then kill him in the first two minutes. That would be great. And I really love   Jimmy Palmiott's idea to move him to South America, I think that would be a great post-Nolan Batman franchise  OR just have Batman fight a Predator, I'd watch that.

I would like to see Harley Quinn as the main villain. It would have to be the next movie though, with her as an obsessed Joker fan angry that he was put away.  I've always thought Harley has the potential to be a solo villain.  

I hope that they include Catwoman but as a morally grey character.  Im not sure really who i want as the villain of the film to be though id like to see a good version of poison ivy and in a "nolanverse" film i think she could be really dark but the more logical villain would be Harley but not like the cartoons id want her to be more like the Arkham game. 

I think it would be interesting to see a villain topping Batman with technology and equipment. Beat him at his own game. Killer Moth would be a good choice. Inspired by Batman to be his evil equivalent, bringing balance to Gotham. Another one I would love to see is Mr. Zsasz but as a 'side-villain'. They won't do that though because you can't do Zsasz with a PG13.

Zsasz Was in the First Film If any one else was paying attention, So using him would be a great tie in since he was just a brief gimps. 

The following link if for those who would choose to argue that he was in the film :

Tim Booth was Zsasz

The thing that is kind of funny is that about 80-85% of people seem to only see Batman movies for the bat-villain/s & the other 15-20% actually just care if the movie is just good & don't care who is chosen for the bat-villain role. I read Jonathan Nolan finished the script over at another forum though anyway, so I guess not much of a point debating anymore. Now it's just a test of patience.

Riddler and the Black Mask the black mask sense with the current mob vaccume left after the last film.

I actually think Jimmy Palmiotti's idea is pretty awesome.  Maybe not for the movie, but I would definitely pick it up if it was a comic.

HUSH!!!!

Hush would be ace but i want them to skip 10 years so we can see nightwing or even the under the hood story.

Bane or Mr.Zasz. 
 
Also, Jason Todd. They don't have to time to build up Dick to be interesting and all that...

Harley Quinn!!!! She is badass. She can beat all villains in the world except Darkseid.

1. Deadshot
2. Deadshot
3. Ummm....did I mention Deadshot?

Catwoman is 100% necessary but not as a villain. 
 
It's not her swagger or her costumes or her vaguely S&M relationship with Batman that's the reason, it's because she turns the mirror on Bruce beautifully with the dynamic they share. I vote for a gritty, street Catwoman, her more recent arcs have established she was orphaned and sent through the system living in juvenile hall while being the subject of abuse and anguish all the while. 
 
So no courtesan Selina or casual temptress Selina, Catwoman was primarily brought in to the comics in the first place to be a reflection of Batman. Except unlike Bruce she's streetwise and had to rise in the ranks by being more resourceful, the result could come out QUITE cool if played out right. She needs the humor, the wit, and the toughness though along with finesse, finesse, finesse.

NO CATWOMAN!

whoever they go with I hope they don't choose some big name celebrity..I'd like the focus to be on the character not the actor..maybe they could do a group of villains..maybe three or four using the panic caused by joker to take control of gotham

Black Mask and Deadshot as a hired gun.

my first choice is to do a big screen adaptation of "knightfall" so bane..but since all the villains that are shown in the comic haven't been established yet in the nolan-verse it might not work, so my nest choice is the riddler (played by johnny depp of course) or black mask

 I would love to see the CLASSIC ANARKY as a "villain". The one fighting the reasons of crime and against the law and the other one fighting crime and for the law. Plus Joker or some other real insane character with a lot of henchmen forcing the two to fight together and batman philosophing about his useness.

I think people have forgotten that Victor Zsasz was a minor role in Batman Begins...so he could logically be brought in. 
 
The most logical places to go would be bringing Two-Face back in (because Harvey Dent is dead, not Two-Face), Catwoman (since the Falcone family is in there and it would work into Jeph Loeb's stuff), or The Riddler (which would feel too much like a second-hand Joker on-screen). 
 
Personally...I still want Mr. Freeze circa Heart of Ice storyline.  I know they've already said it won't happen, but I think Nolan could work a really interesting angle with that. 
 
The only other villain I really want to see, even as a wink-and-nod thing, would be Solomon Grundy.

I think the riddler played by David Hyde Pierce (he was in frasier) would be awesome
also clayface or bane would be awesome
and maybe poison ivy

Catwoman. 
  
Forget the S&M camp we've been pelted with thus far with Miller and such but rather Brubanker's Catwoman who was put through the system in juvenile halls, orphaned and disregarded time and time again throughout her youth. Sharp as a whip, full of finesse but not too extravagant, clever and with humility but not enough to be self-effacing...it's the only dynamic that could possibly compete with Batman's and the Joker's.

I think that they should have a female villain in the next film, so imo it should either be poison ivy, catwoman or harley

It should either be Black Mask, the Riddler or Catwoman in the next film. 

 
 Jimmy Palmiotti don't be stupid!  - A Batman movie without a villain is like .... I can't even think of  an anology for this because it's too damn ridiculous.
