Batgirl/catwomen? Oh please, that would completely ruin it. And the riddler is kind of like the joker, I cant imagine much difference between those villains, it would be cool though. I think its best to let Nolan and Goyer speculate on this one.

Cowboy – I would love to see Talia come in, especially if Ra’s al Ghul returned, but no Bat-babies. They already reduced Superman to that. And Indy. And Hellboy. No more, I say!

Trinity – Although Batman as the villain of the next film is an obvious pick (now that you mention it), I still think that there has to be some greater evil present to allow him to be redeemed in the eyes of Gotham’s citizenry. Batman Begins dealt with the theme of Fear and Dark Knight deals with the theme of Belief. I can see Nolen going with a theme of Hope/Despair (Ra’s Al Ghul’s daughter (Talia?) and a Bruce-Baby pregnancy, perhaps).

Based on Dark Knight, however, I’m now convinced that whatever it is they come up with for the next film, there is now way I can begin to guess.

Who’s the villain for the next Batman film? Batman is. Wasn’t that the point of the ending?

Also, I don’t know why you denigrate any of the Bat-villains as being entirely out of contention. The thing that Nolan proved with “Batman Begins” is that he can make any villain interesting. He took two villains with almost zero pop culture recognition and made them real and important and dangerous. Ra’s al Ghul is big in the comics, but translating his specific type of mercenary mission into film isn’t easy. And Scarecrow? Please.

I pretty much think anyone they pick would probably work. I’m half wondering if, since Batman’s the public enemy #1, they won’t go for more bureaucratic, practiced villains to point up the fact (started with Harvey Dent) that people trust too easily to faces. Someone like Penguin (or hell even the Clock King) wouldn’t be entirely out of the question.

I have to echo your question. Where DO we go from here? What story line or character could match the insanity of Ledger’s Joker? What premise could expand on this frighteningly dark vision? What force could allow the people of Gotham to appreciate the Batman again? What happens now, and how will Producers/Directors/Writers do it in such a way that will match this film? I fear that this may be the end of this line and yet, I hope that something will come along that can match this.

Quite a while ago, I read that David Tennant was interested in playing The Riddler. . . but I like the idea of Christian Slater better. He’s got the necessary darkness and can do creepy/ crazy well.

Speaking of Batgirl. . . I was annoyed that Commissioner Gordon’s son got so much camera time while Barbara wasn’t even seen. Well, we saw the top of her head at the end there, but it would have been more appropriate for Gordon to have that last conversation with her instead of the boy. Even if the character goes nowhere in Nolan’s movies, it still would have been a nice nod.

I just want to see Batgirl, done right this time *glares at Batman & Robin* As much as I like Alicia Silverstone (or rather, Cher from Clueless) they effed up Batgirl so much I saw red. Grrr.

[Cheap gag] >>>In addition to invoking fear, The Joker was stamping out any competitive vision. That’s a very Soviet thing to do. <<< Yeah, they do that over at IO9, too. <<< [/Cheap gag]

I agree with you about Catwoman being just a burglar, but there WAS that quip about how the new suit might not stand up to a large cat. So they might use her as a periphery villain? Also, this was mentioned to me last night and it sounds oddly brilliant: Do you think Christian Slater could play the Riddler?
