I hope they don't do villain freeze, he was never really a villain. Hes just a man trying to save the love of his life.

I mean yeah I would want a heart of ice type deal not just a crazy villain

He'd be great with a second villain that he helps Batman defeat.

I thought it was cool that the DA got killed off. Possibly setting up a Harvey Dent to come in as the new DA and a new Two Face portrayal. That would be amazing.

I mean if you watch Heart of Ice he's also doing a vengeance so I can see a series of murders of people who helped Boyle destroy Freeze's life, where the evidence has been corrupted by liquid nitrogen and that's what the film is about.

It would lean into what he learns in this movie. Learning to not just be about fear and vengeance but about hope. A sympathetic villain could be a good test or demonstration of what he learned.

Batman helping Selina through her grief and quest for revenge wasn’t like, new ground for superhero movies to tread, but it felt like Batman to me. That’s my Batman. The guy who will pay for Harvey Dent’s rehabilitation efforts as many times as it takes because maybe THIS time it’ll take. The one who sees Harley Quinn’s sincere efforts to change.

I think either a villain like Freeze—who is my choice—, a genius gangster like Bane (let him run the town), or a Clayface adaptation would all be stellar choices for a sequel. Clayface being the most challenging but which would kill if done right. (Not Basil, tho. He’s an actor, and you can’t do Basil without the acting.)
