Will Killer Croc Be In Batman 3?

It's a rumor but the pieces fit together.

No Caption Provided
We know that Christopher Nolan has officially signed up to direct Batman 3. We know that they will be doing some filming in New Orleans. There also that Mark Millar tweet where he said he knows who the villain is and it's one of his favorite characters from his childhood. 
 
The folks over at Slash Film put the pieces together and came up with Killer Croc. He made his debut in comics in 1983's Detective Comics #525 which could fit in with Millar's youth. Also, New Orleans is close to swamp territory, which has lots of gators.  
 
Killer Croc as a movie villain could probably be pulled off. He's definitely more believable over characters like Clayface and Mr. Freeze in the "universe" created in the last two films. Killer Croc also had a big role in the Arkham Asylum video game, which loads of non-comic book readers even played. Smart money would say that the Riddler or Catwoman would easily work but they've both already appeared in past films. Perhaps Nolan will try to adapt a villain that hasn't been seen. What do you think about this? Could Killer Croc work as at least one of the villains?

I think Bane would be better suited for the Nolanverse version of Batman. Not the idiot bruiser, but the original one that broke Batman's back. But I still have my fingers crossed for the Riddler.

I think it'd be neat to see Croc enter the Nolan universe, as it'd be interesting to see how Nolan deals with a non-human villain, as opposed to the Joker. The characters would have to be dealt completely differently, obviously.
And if Killer Croc is in the movie, I would hope that it isn't just some CGI interpretation, and instead, a realistic looking monster.

Croc's role in most of the comics was never really big enough for Nolan to use him in a movie imho..I love croc's origins but as the series goes on, he's just muscle. I'd like to see black mask. Even Hush, Zsasz or Deadshot may be able to work for the roles that you could fit croc in (complements to the main villain, i'd presume)...

Killer Croc doesn't seem right like the others
they had Scarecrow ,Ras Al Guhl and Joker all of them are semi believable as real people
but killer Croc they would have to do something like Gene tampering and that doesn't seem right with the others
Bane would be better but I don't think they will do him either
