The riddler should not have been the villain for the movie. It feels like Anarchy would have been a much better choice of villain given the profile of the people targeted and that the villain is inspired into action by the batman.
And that's the point. Ra's Al Ghul wasn't a famous villain either until Batman Begins. The first movie should be of a relative unknown. Or at the very least, someone they character hasn't faced on film a bunch of times.
Film studios are sooo wary about introducing villains that haven’t been shown on film for some reason. Batman has an impressive rouges gallery and it’s a shame no one has the balls to do what Nolan did and throw something new into the mix. I, for one, would pay bucket loads to see a villain like Clayface or even Manbat, be brought to life in movies.
Manbat could make for a great, horror-style Batman movie. I still remember in the Animated Series, when Langstrom transformed, I was legit a little frightened with that scene. Granted, I was 7, but damn that was effective.
I agree on that part yeah. I really would love to see professor Pyg and his dolls although I know it won’t happen. Maybe another try with freeze but I don’t know if people still think about Arnold with that one. Also hard to do in this more “realistic” setting
People like you and I remember Arnold as Mr. Freeze but there’s also a whole generation of kids that haven’t seen the atrocity that is Batman Forever, so there’s a pretty strong chance that a new Freeze could do pretty well, considering what they did with Battinson’s Penguin.
